Its disappointing it has to begin this way. Just as you've said, its proberly due to the sluggish state of Crypto as a whole. I in person, I'm yet to make a purchase. I've just been tryna survive and stay afloat in this Crypto dip that seems unending. Hopefully things get okay with the Crypto market soon and I can begin to make purchases, and likewise other investors too.

In regards to the Steem monthly dividend, I would suggest an alternative payment method should be implemented, and every users who meets the criteria for receiving Dividend should receive something no matter how little it may seem to be, I think it would still go long way to show how deeply the team appreciate their investment in ADVD. Instead of sharing 400 steem, you can choose to scale it down to 50, or better still issue out ACUV 🙂
