I joined around the same time as you, but I got burnt hard by investing at the very peak of btc/steem on the left of this chart:
It is not the end of the world. The 300-400 steem power I had at the time (which would of taken 2 years to power down) went up to over 700 sp on its own due to the original inflation rate and is around the $ value of the 1.7ish bitcoin I threw into steem power at the time.
I am hoping to get some whale support, also start investing my paychecks until I get to 10,000 steem power. At which point I will be putting much more effort on the steem blockchain
(sorry if it sounded like verbal diarrhea, I am exhausted and will head to bed in 3 minutes)
