The Market Doesn't Revolve Around Steem!
Ok, this really needs to be said! We are in a bubble. I'm not talking price, but mindset. I swear, every time the price falls, the community starts complaining about what we are and aren't doing, but please realize that..EVERY SINGLE PROJECT IS BLEEDING, and the market doesn't revolve around Steem lol
No amount of marketing or positivity, which I am a fan for by the way, would've shielded us from the overall market trend!
Although we have a lot to be proud of as far as development, it isn't our, nor any other alt coins for that matter, to shine!
There are so many moving and down right ground shaking parts that are moving in the crypto space at the moment, that as a little brother, we just need to sit down and, let big bro BTC take the remote, and watch whatever his wants to watch on the TV tonight.
You know why? Because we are still young! Yeah we might be able to dunk on big bro when we have our growth spurt in the next decade, but right now, our innate talent doesn't amount to much.
That doesn't mean you should give up on your dreams of reaching the league tho....
If You Are Passionate About Steem, Good or Bad, Do This....
If you are on either side of the spectrum of the I love/hate Steem argument or frustrated with the direction our community is heading in, then you need to....
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS AND GET SOME STAKE
Like right now.....
Take some action and start averaging in because at these prices, a little goes a long way.
Instead of going out to eat this week.....how about you buy some Steem!
Instead of buying $2 coffee this week, how about you buy Steem!
Instead of wasting your money on that HBO subscription you forgot you even had....cancel it and buy Steem.
Instead of blogging 4 times a day about how much you hate Steem or what's wrong with Steem, why don't you use that time to figure out how to make some extra cash in your real life and buy some Steem!
Listen, as someone who was once a minnow with no voice, and now a dolphin with a nice little stake, I find myself worried about drastically different things. It's less about making money and more about ensuring the longevity of Steem.
For those of you super negative, try accumulating a nice stake and see how you feel! I bet your mindset will change real quick when it's your investment on the line. Your perspective might go from let me add nothing but negativity without a solution, to let me add some optimism with a solution that will help my investment succeed in the long run.
In my case, after buying a stake, I couldn't justify delegating to bid-bots and collecting dividends, while my investment continued to bleed. Forced me look at the community different and realize the real potential we have to evolve into something many of us can't even conceptualize at the moment.
So in the future...I don't wanna read anything about the status of Steem, whether it be good or bad, unless you have a STAKE!
At these prices you have no excuse, and frankly less risk and more upside because we aren't going anywhere.
this one made me laugh a lot.
lmao I was in the zone
Very good article about options. People are angry when their money lose the value in steem, because they get this for making content. Maybe they don't even think about investment in steem. They will think only about securing cash, which left on their wallet, but who really think about long term profits? Answer - stake holders. Steem as a cryto compared to bitcoin is pretty young so it's possible that with that many incomming changes like next HF, the price will get rollercoaster. With #newsteem there is so many opportunites to be whale on specific tag. How you will feel, when you will have power like a whale? I think it's awesome feeling.
Exactly what I was thinking! newsteem is all about changing one's mindset and and taking action to improve Steem, not just break it down without out any solution.
And that whale feeling is something only the 1% will feel, so it's hard for me to judge because i'm not in their shoes. If I had a million Steem right now, I think I would be using a lot of my brain power figuring out the "right" move in the long and short term lol
Maybe just self upvote like bernie who prob doesn't have enough time to properly post and curate because i'm sure he's rich in real life too lol
That.
Pretty motivating read my friend. I wonder why all those who spread rumors and accusations and keep pointing with the finger are still around?
Haha thanks for reading!
And they are around because they simply aren't living life.....whether the price is high or low, crypto is probably their life because they are only focused on getting rich quick and if they have succeed in that at some point in the last bull market then they clearly don't understand the discipline and time it actually takes to create wealth in the real world. All they know how to do is buy alts and pray....
Ride or Die!
