The following is a general statement... not directed at you, particularly.
If you were here at that time (and had a big stake) you would have seen that the prevailing thought was HODL and that the 'promise of SMT's and improvements' to Steem was pretty much a lure (effectively) to keep the Minnows and Dolphins in play. But the crybabies that also came over to Hive were ruining Steem at the same time. I think a lot of Ned's supporters were cashing out because of the crybabies who were not prepared to buy the Steem they were selling. So prices crashed. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!
I had 40k but I cashed out close to 10k and LEO is working well for me.
I am "in profit" as far as I can tell. The Gold I bought is also UP.
My average cost per Steem/Hive stands at Well UNDER $1 and most were under 20c
So I have done OK. I learned about buying into the Hype. My Spinvest exit was basically at the ATH.
So I'd say I learned the lessons very well. Wouldn't you?
You're kind of lucky... or we could say that you played your cards right.

Both, IMO
🤣
If I had used "Best Practices" I would have cashed 1/2,
reinvested in something else, and tried again.
Lather, Rinse, REPEAT!
