Hahah, Yeah you are one of the exclusive readers at this point!
It was probably better you didn't invest. It is hard for me to explain but even when I invest in something like Litecoin or Digibyte or Monero or something like that I don't have regrets if the price drops or anything. But With Steem it is just like being in a hampster ball and even when the price is up it is hard to be too happy because the power down cycle is 3 months so by the time you try to get your money out you might get dumped on already which has happened to me a couple of times on here.
STEEM always has downward pressure that is even greater than stuff like Digibyte because people are investing additional time to get a payout.
It can trap your capital and devalue your time so tread lightly.
I will always keep at least a pinky toe invested just in case and will keep posting here even if it is through something like share2Steem where it will just post my stuff I put up on Instagram and Youtube.
