It has been a long time coming; I closed out some of my positions "de-risked" a few days ago; and at the same time put in some buy orders at support points on a few coins to try and scoop them up as people panic and sell out of them.

Remember all of those posts saying "vote for Steem on Twitter poll; OMG to the moon!!!111one" - well ETC won and now it is reaping the rewards.
