I guess you can call it betting...but I think of it more like investing. I don't make blind bets....I only like to make bets where I think the risk is smaller than the reward.
I find it stress reducing...actually it's stressful to not participate for me. But I understand what you mean...my wife finds it stressful and wonders how I can spend so much time building spreadsheets for random things. Before crypto came along, I was investing in the stock market or whatever else I could wager on.
Great, I wish you success. Lets hope that our bet on steem will yield fruit by end of next year
Hopefully! Although I don't wait around that long on failed bets. Love the platform, but if bots aren't controlled and price doesn't recover, I'll cut my losses and move it to another investment....and keep blogging with low Steem power.
Hahaha dont cut and run bud...we are in in the long run!!!!!!! together we will power up this baby to the stars.
Is there another steemit like competitor? guess none can clone steemit
I'm not going to leave Steemit....but there is no benefit to having $20-30k worth of Steem power unless I were to create a bot to sell those votes.
The benefit lies in the Future value (FV) of steem
Exactly what I'm thinking....so I should treat it like any other crypto investment. Investing in Steem vs Bitcoin vs NEO vs Ether vs whatever. It's best to do it outside of Steem Power, so I can trade as needed and not have it be stuck for 13 weeks.
13 weeks is a long time if someone needs fast money for a great deal. I agree.
