Yesterday I thought about it and today I pulled the trigger.
I bought STEEM with fiat.
When I saw the price drop below 60 cents I converted some Fiat in BTC and bought STEEM.
Converting fiat to Bitcoin in the Netherlands is real easy.
There are several websites that offer a great service for a small fee and it's almost instant.
I did not buy any major amount but that's because I'm not an all-in kinda person.
I like to buy average in over a period of time.
The markets are so unstable at the moment I don't where the bottom is.
So that's the plan.
For fun I set the next goal for myself. I want to become a top 100 Steem power holder.
Something I never thought would be possible when STEEM was much higher.
After that I think I'm going to aim for 200k but that will take some luck. Other cryptos need to go up before STEEM or STEEM must tank a lot more.
Anyway, current prices are a dream for some and a nightmare for others.
I see it as a huge opportunity because I trust that my own vision and where I think the blockchain is going is the right one.
Investing therefor is easy.

You know what, we will do the same as we did back when Steem was 7cents, we will still be on creating content and hoping for the best. I think some reassuring words are needed at this time in steem community, I think you have that covered. Steem on!
The fundamentals for STEEM are strong IMHO. I'm super bullish long run for STEEM. Yet, I must admit I am still surprised how market sentiment has crushed the price.
man. i’m in heaven right now. these are the price points i wished i got in at so i’ll be taking advantage as well.
so addicted to this stuff and don’t wanna miss this opportunity. like @meno said man you are leading by example and that’s huge for your followers to see.
screw the dip. let’s buy some steem lol

Every STEEM I ever earned or bought I still have for 2,5 years now. I believe in Steem a lot!
Good luck on your future buys man.
awesome to hear it, i'm also thinking of buying some using FIAT, especially if the price keeps dropping.
awesome exyle... leading by example... i just did the same thing, about the same amount too...
its about walking the talk after all....
Cheers mate!
Awesome buy man! Don't forget to power it up! ;)
was in the middle of that! hahahahah yussss
lol! nice one!
awesome to hear it meno!! i'm looking at doing the same :)
Make a post about it after you do it, ill send you some extra upvotes your way ;)
Thanks ☺️⭐️ I made a post!
Me too!!
Bought yesterday slightly above $0.60 but doesn’t matter! Immediately powered up and wrote a post about these being opportunities to act instead of wondering what is happening...
Awesome!
My first goal is to reach 50.000 SP. I can power up and reach my goal tomorrow but I am not sure it is best time to power up. That is good sound from you! @exyle
When I'm unsure I buy average in. Takes the guessing and 'risk' (of lower prices) away.
bro...i love your videos, posts..and your PASSION!!!! aiming for 10k steem power myself! mentioned you in my dtube video today. please keep it coming...we are sooooo with you!!!!!!!
Thanks man! Left a comment on your post!
you're amazing bro!!!! thanks for the upvote too!!! we are sooooo with you for the long haul!!!! see you at 200k!!!! :)
A worthy goal indeed. I might have a shot at top 1000 some day, steemfriends.org shows that I’m currently in 1635th place. Much slower to convert from fiat here. I also did a small purchase yesterday but Coinbase takes six days. In some ways, America seems stuck in the 19th Century.

America, land of the free, home of the brave. Most powerful nation on earth the PTB like to tell us. I see crumbling infrastructure and entire areas of local cities vacant/abandoned.

Below $.60 was the point I was looking for as well. I picked up some more Steem myself today and powered it up to get me to Minnow II status. I am pretty excited.
Awesome man! Love seeing STEEM flow into the hands of people that want to keep it!
Good for you. For a second I thought someone had inaugurated a fancy kiosk and you had actually pulled cash from your wallet and bought Steem. That would be really cool.
It is very distressing for those of us who are really depending on higher prices to survive. I don't even understand the dynamics of the crypto market, and I can't afford to invest (taking advantage of the low prices). As a content creator, I just keep posting, hoping I can grow a bit more, despite the slow activity in the platform.
Balls of Steel !! Mark @exyle is Stepping UP his Game and I think he is Smart to do So.....................
Stok you crack me the H upppp!! Hehe
What do you have to say w.r.t. steems market position dropping lower than 30 and further more.
BTC manipulations will reduce people's confidence in cryptocurrency.
Yeah I am doing the same and I gave my brother and sister an account also they get the logins when I'm ready with it. Yeah come a bit lower it will get lower they say because the supportline of btc isn't reached yet. So get ready to invest some more 😁 what an opportunity.
Oh my gosh! Now I’m excited! Your post helped me decide to take the plunge. I just signed up with Coinfield in Canada 🇨🇦 to start doing some crypto stuff!!!😳😬😋😁
Always a good idea to dollar cost average into an investment vehicle brother great idea. Do you think the sheer number of offerings has degraded crypto values on the more reputable coins? The entire stock market is largely a house of cards inflated on easy money for years now, not exactly confidence inspiring. Do you think that sentiment bleeds over into peoples' faith in crypto? I think Steem is an awesome idea though I could see many average people quitting early on the platform that don't understand it in the proper light.

Whoa I didn’t know you were part of blockbrothers yay! I think I won a steem monsters card with you. LOL
This wasn’t the first time you bought steem that’s been impressive, congrats on the great investment. I would do it too if I had More cash on hand. Steem on brother!!
Never seen steem so cheap during the two year time period perfect buying point :)
"The markets are so unstable at the moment I don't where the bottom is." I believe you forgot the word "know" - "The markets are so unstable at the moment I don't know where the bottom is."
In relation to your investment, I can only agree, once again I think it was the right move. Although we are in dangerous territory, let´s see next week. But what really matters is that STEEM is one of the best (if not the best) blockchains out there, and that allows all the investors to be calm about their money.
i bought more 2
You're an example for all of us. I regret I did a lot of mistakes and now I can't afford to buy more steem...
