I had a great morning today.
All crypto, but most importantly for us, Steem has gone up and is now sitting at $1.20.
Buying gradually under a dollar has been my tactic for a while and it's paying off so far.
Unlike other cryptos, Steem had not gone up much so it's nice to see it happen. (for as long as it lasts)
Not long ago we had a big sharp correction in crypto. (BTC went from $11500 to $8500). These are the moments I have learned to sit on my hands and don't do anything.
Most of the time when a correction like this happens prices will bounce up again rather fast. And this time it's no difference.
Again this is not a moment to feel relief. It's the time to take profit if you missed the first opportunity.
It's what I would recommend.
It can go very fast either way from this point. Taking profit is never a bad choice here.
Interview
This morning I also watched a great interview by @terrybrock, where he interviews Tim Cliff (witness). here.
There is a lot of good information there about the origin of the platform and the hard works it takes to find success here. I highly recommend watching it.
Christmas tree done.
Proof, for in the blockchain, that I did go out and bought one for real this time :)
I have recently become a witness with our developer group blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

I voted for your witness. All the best with the blockbrothers projects mate.
Thanks so much for the support!
Awesome video by @terrybrock. Was really informing. You know what am holding dearly from that interview is what I calm the '1 commandment of steemit.com' which is
'don't beg for upvote or followers'
It has been sounded so much, but has been heard so little.
Awesome interview.
All Steemit work will pay off greatly. I can see it ahead.
that would be cool, i just came over, thinking this a great platform for sure
Thanks for the video by @timcliff, it is really what we newbies need at this time, especially if you are here for the long run.
After watching the video, I concluded that it is fantastic to be able to count on this community for making it grow and grow with it. :D I know quality has to be one of our main focuses, but hearing other stuffs he said made me conclude that @terrybrock and @timcliff really care about others and are doing so much to help them grow and get informed.
A wonderful video in my own view.
STEEM seems to be getting a little more external interest now and I think that's reflected in the price and trading volume increases we can see in the charts. Perhaps some of that new interest is due to the coming implementation of the SMTs or a lot of new people coming into crypto in general as a result of how much exposure bitcoin's been getting. As for EOS I feel your pain! Luckily I've been buying some since the start of ICO but regretting not buying more, especially because I was thinking when it was $0.50 "it will probably keep going lower"
I like that all is green in my crypto portfolio. Steem also performs well...
Nice tree, I'm not so sure that the last blip on the radar was a correction per say as much as it was just a one day panic sell indicative of lack of faith in BTC at that price point. I'm also somewhat concerned about the current push to $11,800 on lower volume. I think perhaps that bull fever is putting blinders on common sense and what the market needs. Every three months we typically have a week over week correction according to the charts. Which would be right about now, and would coincide with rising price on lower volume. Look at the 1 day trend in volume, save the day of panic selling..

Yeah. Nice christmas tree there. Somene might ask why is eoc going up. EOS will be the first gen 3 crypto to market. It is the first decentralized operating system that will streamline development and use in a way never before seen. It will start with 20-100k tps.
Market wise, it clearly found an ATL (what everyone was worried about) by grinding against 0.5 for two months. Once the ATL was in, now everyone just wants to secure positions early on in this rocket. A lot of this is people taking big long-term positions and providing constant buy pressure. This will be a top 5 coin in 2018, possibly a top 3. Possibly top 2 coin in 2019. Smart money has seen this happen before and is betting big to not miss out on the next ethereum.
Oh, and everything else is going up also. We all feel like we should have bought more EOC.
STEEM is really going places
Nice one. The Christmas tree looks really good for someone who has not really done much of such stuffs. Just do me a favor, when bianca convinces you to wear that Christmas suit, make a post on it, with full pictures. That one will surely be a keeper.
On the issue of correction, I have lost so much money when I was trading bitcoin during correction. In such periods, sitting on your hands would do you real good.
Happy Xmas season to you and your family.
Have a nice Xmas season yourself too!
great Christmas tree bro i like this post .
@exyle,
Like Forex market, Crypto market also act the same way! Only thing is crypto market is very unpredictable than forex market place!
I also stay away while BTC madness happen! And having faith on Steem and SBD! SBD made a great move at the moment and it's still making more ROI than BTC do :D That's why I like ALTs than BTC! They makes nice profit by little up trends!
Hope to see your next article with X'mas tree!
Cheers~
Excellent post my friend, wow it's good to see that Christmas tree and man it looks so beautiful and attractive with all those glowing color bulbs and when you are recoding your video that tree in the back ground looks so gorgeous, you also talk about steem and yes it's great news for steem holder's now as steem is slowly moving upwards and we surely see more growth in steem price soon and i agree with your points, we all need to stay away from those volatile swings and it's far better for all of us to sit still and buy low just hold and then sell it at a reasonable price, it's great tactic, wishing you a very cheerful and joyful Christmas ahead, Stay awesome
Follow me new to steem neeed few followers
Nice pine fresh smelling home over the month of cheer, have a great time putting it up.
That is true! Smells nice indeed.
Nice tree! I however still avoid Christmas decorations. II hope you find a nice gift from Santa under your tree. You must certainly be on his 'nice' list.
I think you might need a bigger Christmas tree because it looks like you're taller than that tree. Where's the fun of climbing up to the top to decorate it?
LOL!
i agree, i posted something similar about buying steem this morning on the internal market. time to buy for sure too! :) looks like you are all set for christmas! :)
I am and yes, It's a good buy to get STEEM atm with SBD :)
Why did you want a real christmas tree for this year ? :)
Bianca wanted one :)
Best reason I could imagine :)))
I have taken some profit. You are right, out can sink faster than you can blink at this point and you should never sneeze at profit!
Yes! I agree :)
nice planning of Christmas see in post excellent.
Thanks so much for that video by @terrybrock.It was really what I needed at this point in time. I never knew that when steemit started, there was actually no steemit.com,but just commands,and yet those initial people still believed in the vision.
This is the foundation of steemit.com,people who have a strong belief in the values of this system. This is really empowering, making you know that you are in the right company.
Thank you @exyle for sharing this link. @terrybrock thanks for sharing this with us. It will really help us go far on steemit. Infact @timcliff is a genius to learn from.
That was an awesome and such a helpful interview guys!
Great questions and way of questioning @terrybrock und great answers and helpful tips @timcliff.
I am here on steemit for a month and.. now and everyday I learn something new. I think many points I already understood, for example the way of commenting a users post, that I like. Always refer to the content of the post.
But this was a huge step again.
I'll directly try to apply these things. Thank you @exyle for sharing this.
I'm sure that my kind of content will be appreciated soon and that's why I constantly will put effort into my posts and stay persistent.
Wow!!, this really greet, seeing steem has rise to $1.20. I can't just wait to see how steemit price will hit the sky in 2018. It will even attract more investors to the platform.
I see it as a big Sinterklaas gift, So what will it bring during Xmas period ? Maybe it will go up to $1.5; that makes us all very happy.
I see you are ready for it as well, you bought a nice tree and the lights and decoration is done already.
Maybe you have a nice entry for #steemlight.
Maak er nog een mooie zondag van!
Thanks and you too!
@exyle, thank you so much for sharing that link to that video. it is quite uplifting. I have to say though that the money is not the main reason for me to be on this site. Sure, it is a really nice incentive, but most importantly, this is about sharing ideas, at least for me.
I do however fear that my content is a bit too nerdy/ specific for steemit right now, but we'll have to wait and see. In any case, i am looking forward to seeing this website gain even more traction.
I'm new to steemit, but videos like this help us newbies keep going, so do continue :)
Have a great day, and merry Christmas . i love the christmas tree
I really liked this post . I’m sitting on my hands the rest of the year if you ask me . It’s a great time for the cryptosphere . I’m thinking long term for the rest of my portfolio the future is very promising. I’m just positioning myself for when Wall Street jumps in the game I’ll be sitting pretty with my holds when everything spikes up . Stop thinking short term you guys were only at 350 billion dollars market cap . HODL and buy more ! Thanks for this content!
a lot of ups and downs are happening in crypto space is better to sit back relax and enjoy the fun but we couldn't resist as steemians as sbd pumping up to 2.50 $ damm pretty interesting to know other things thanks for sharing
Yes bro you are damn right. We r steemians n we can't resist.
Congratulations on your first Christmas tree together. Special times! The Christmas bug is contagious. Photos of the Christmas sweater please!
Sweater will happen, I think she is upstairs googling one.
Glad I could be of help on finding a selling-point for Christmastrees!
Thanks!!
Thank you very much for the shout-out, @exyle. You are most kind.
Yes, @timcliff gave a lot of great ideas on that video about using Steemit, building an audience, writing content and how to do it. This will apply to Steemit as well as many other social media platforms. Thank you for sharing this!

This is a really wonderful video..... I think more light should be shed on addressing the issue of begging for followers and upvotes. In the long run it will only have adverse effects on the account in question.
Steemit is not a get rich quick scheme, it takes consistent work ethic and patience to build steemit especially for people who don't plant o invest their money into it. All newbies should note that
Totally agree.
I'm a bit curious why steem is not following the other cryptos and seem to be stable at 1$.
Steemit seems to be quite a good thing?!

very good work,best of luck
thanks for nice post
All of this information and its making my friends lots of money. Great video..
Nice post. Feeling very happy to see the growth of steem.
god job. sir
You have excellent business techniques. It is understood in your description Kisuta. Please tell me what is the meaning of scyptos?
I'm very happy to say a lot of good things about your words
So I guess the adage would be that if Crypto goes down like it recently. Use it as an opportunity to take some profits. I am new to all of this. Be gentle with my lack of knowledge please.
If it goes down then sit and wait for the likely rebound. The only time to sell is when you see a good rebound to a new high price. This is where you can take profits.
OK. Thank you
a very amazing post. you are very good at making tactics. and you succeed with your tactics. and I am very happy with your success in the world of steemit. and I have chosen you as a witness in steemit. thank you for sharing it
good job,thanks for nice sharing
@exyle Merry Christmas Nice Tree Man.........
Yeah absolutely steem price great movement currently. Its over $1.2. Also steem dollar price over $2.4 here. Steem and SDB nice rise up. In fact BTC and ALTs little movement. Crypto market is very better this time. I think your Xmas tree will be awesome. See you @exyle
As long as the price of steem stays or rise that is indeed a good news and as for the Christmas tree you have done a great job bro !
rele
good job. sir
One of the best content just you sharing really i am amazed to see your looking.And your content is very hot and i like the most of your post.I am waiting for your next post.
you did a good job , great !
Wow excellent i see how you are are planning for christmas.
Nice and very beautiful christmas tree i must say.
Sometime ago I heard about EOS, which is a cryptocurrency that its goal is to decentralize everything.
I didn´t investigate much about it but I thought it was really cool, so I was planning on investing some ETH in the presale of the tokens. To have a major profit once it was out in the exchanges.
But... I didn't, nothing.... I didn´t buy any of it, I had plenty of meetings and stuff to do during this days that I forget to buy some of it. This is one of the times that you had the information but you make nothing with neither have some profit, so I really feel bad about not investing once I had the info. My only hope is to buy if it comes down, but I really think that It won´t come to the price that I really will like to invest
