I won't pretend to say I understand what you're going to, nor will I try to give you advice. What I'm doing myself is selling my STEEM stake, and holding on to HIVE, but I don't think right now is a good time to invest in something that will take 3 months to power down. Keep your investments liquid, as much as possible. I hope the community will pull through and get you some help. I don't have any stake in HIVE yet as I can't power up because there is no wallet, but I genuinely hope that you get a few votes that will keep you afloat for the time being. I wish you the best of luck and hope we'll laugh about this by the time summer rolls around.
EDIT: Wait a minute! I can still send you some HIVE. I know 50 is not much but I hope it will help at least a tiny bit! I suggest you use Keychain to check your balances if you aren't already.
EDIT2: Sent, really hope it helps :)
EDIT3: Not sure if the transaction went through. Maybe try to check on your end and let me know? Thank you!
Hey, @thecryptosociety.
I don't see anything in the wallet as far as keychain or peakd.com are concerned but that's okay. No need to send anything. As I mentioned, we're doing fine and will be for the foreseeable future. We try to be prepared for things like this, and I went six years without a job, so this will be much shorter in comparison, or life will be so different it might not matter. :)
I definitely appreciate the gesture, though. Very kind.
I am currently powering down my STEEM stake with the intent of buying HIVE when that becomes possible. I will probably wait to make any purchases to see how things unfold first, though.
I'm using the Keychain extension and while I sent HIVE with it a couple of days ago I don't know why this time around it didn't work - no error either. Anyways, I know times are hard, and I'm genuinely glad to hear that you're ready for rocky times.
As far as STEEM goes, I think the sooner you move it into Bitcoin, the better. HIVE can wait, just my honest opinion. Take care man, and wish you all the best!
Thank you. You, too. And thanks for the crypto advice, too. :)
