Well 6 months I have been here, and gone from 15sp loaned to me, to over 700sp of my own, I have leased another 1250 to see how that goes, results not in yet, and started buying in yesterday.
I did change some dogecoin early on though the price of sbd was over $12 so that may have been a silly move in hindsight.
I am thinking of steemit like a bank now, if I put enough £ or $ in, one day it may grow with interest, who knows? I may be right I may be wrong, though like a lottery ticket, you have to buy one to win it.
Have a great week.
