I bought into Steem as a great project idea, moved from Steem to Hive out of personal dissatisfaction, still in the throes of moving.
Investing time, effort, satoshi's is not always about watching movement in profit, but growing a platform you feel will be beneficial to many in the long run.
Earnings and seeing profit go up is exciting, no one can say it is not, a little trading may make additional profit to buy me some !BEER at the end of the day, keep smiling!
Aren't well all? :D
This is the biggest value of the gains, eyes on the project.
At some point, I will take a little profit and buy a bottle of nice wine.
