Dont be surprised and dont worry if IOTA fluctuate between 0.42 and 0.35 - if it goes lower than that I would be very surprised. I watch the markets everyday and I have notice that the resistance level is about 0.36 - this is a good sign that investors will fight to keep the price no lower than that.
For example today it went down to 0.35 and then it quickly moved up again. investors buy more seeing it as a bargain - I bought some more myself.
I really wish I had done that with steem when I started last Dec 2016 - steem went down from 50 cents to 8 cents at one time and people thought steemit was going to collapse.
I believed in the whole steemit idea and so I stuck with it and bought $200 dollars worth. It does not sound so much these days because of the hight prices of alt coins have risen too, but back then no one knew if the alt coin world would even survive another year. So to put $200 dollars was actually a leap of faith.
Steemit has now well and truly past the danger stage and will go on to flourish. As its members grow so will the price of steem. The steem blockchain has big plans and many believe the price of steem will rise to about $10 within one year. I think that is a good estimate. That is why there is talk of how many millionaires steemit is going to create.
With regards t Segwit - this is actually a bi scary - it is not the same as the last fork with bitcoin gold - the whole think could get messy. I think they may have messed with the code a bit to many times for my liking and I have a strong feeling that things are going to change for Bitcoin.
Dont worry it will not crash. It will fall though and I think that Bitcoin cash will rise much higher. However, I think the whole situation will end up being good for alt coins - IOTA in particular will begin to look strong.
IOTA is set - meaning there can be NO hard forks - its code is clean and fixed The guys at IOTA tested it for over a year before releasing it. Its a thing of beauty for sure and such quality can not help but shine out and stand for itself. They can improve things though and what they need are guys who can make the wallet idiot proof so that even your grandmother can use it. This is the key to success I am certain and I have told them this. The problem with programmers is that they cant see why ordinary folk find it difficult ha ha. Its easy for them so they think it must be easy ha ha. Steemit programers have now realised this and I am glad to see they are doing a great job. You see what people dont realise is that to make apps/websites etc that can run on a blockchain needed an entirely new way of programming. If steemit was on on a server like Facebook or google then they could easily make the most fantastic user interface that looked and word like Facebook. However, there are very few programmers out there who can write code for blockchain technology. At the moment that are like gold and highly sort after. Steemit is actually one of the few things ever invented to run a blockchain. It is a masterpiece of digital engineering. When people, I mean investors actually realise this, then Steemit and the steem blockchain will explode. It is only a matter of time. It really is early days - we, you and I, and all those who signed up for steemit will be seen as pioneer users in the future.
Sorry I got diverted then lol - typical me that - about segwit - I am currently looking into this to see what is the best way to deal with the situation. We have some time so there is no panic and I will keep my followers informed.
In the mean time keep blogging : )
PS sorry I went on a bit too long
