I didn't know about the power down. Thanks!
I had guessed that the "stable value" of Steem would be b3tween $0.10 and 0.15 based on history, but I didn't anticipate that it would achieve this through Steemit Inc dumping currency.
My $100 buy in was at $1.60. I'm having fun and have learned a great deal. I tell myself that I paid $75 tuition for a hands-on cryptocurrency course. Unfortunately, there still seems so much to learn. Ignoring Steem publishing, there still seem so many ways to make money in this market.
