Rough to see Steem on the way down again. Definitely a buy opportunity.
Nice charts. The market basically didn't move yesterday. Figured it would start trending down again soon.
@PenguinPablo... am new here but been following You for about 45 days.
This is a very detailed/informative Post with many great links on the continuing issues surrounding Bitcoin...
And Yes, we could see Bitcoin breach it's previous lows made recently, but there will be a quick snap back Up... just as there was when the previous lows were hit. The lower the lows, the faster & quicker the snap back UP will be, imho... Remain Calm and STEEM On...
Also, will DM You within the next few days... have a very simple modification for your consideration of Your great website www.SteemNow.com ...it's an idea that if it's implemented should make this website an even MORE of a "Go To" utility for Steemians than it already is... will explain in a DM to You.
Thanks Again Jimmy... Cheers !!
Quick Edit: The Medium article You wrote is Incredibly Important to be read by everyone, even people that may not be holding Bitcoin, imho. Here is the link, just in case some people may have missed it...

Thanks Again 4 what You wrote here... ReSTEEMed... Well done Sir !!
I'm glad I followed you. I didnt check the market today and wham, I could have missed this. Thank you.
One question though, what is your prediction, will this free fall continue for sometime ?
I think we can expect a few volatile days ahead. Despite the fact that BIP91 locked-in, the crypto markets are still nervous.
Thank you. :)
