I'm much more engaged than you think. Sometimes it is not the result but the way to it. For example, I wrote here a longer post:
https://steemit.com/investing/@deathcross/tales-of-wheat-corn-golden-cross-and-deathcross
And no comment at all. But I'm not disappointed, I learned a lot in the process. I know it is a "niche theme", something for a very small group of people only.
And Dpoll is a small but enthusiastic community.
I discovered Steemit by Google, searching for something like "Bitcoin inflation" or "Bitcoin halving". Maybe others will discover it searching for "wheat investing" or "VIX shorting".
