Yeah, I think it's a great attitude. None of us truly know how the dust will settle with blockchain technology, so there's always risk as an investor in this space. I invest in STEEM knowing I could go down with the ship if it sinks - and that'd be OK! At least I will have lost money supporting something I truly believe in.
You're absolutely right that we make the most STEEM during the bear market, so it's time to work harder, not less! With the new hard fork on the way and SMTs coming next year, I remain bullish. I'm ready to wait as long as needed for that future to manifest!
This is our opportunity to be shareholders of possibly the next Facebook, just over two years in.
Facebook launched in 2004, but it took them another 8 years before you could buy shares after their 2012 IPO, valuing it at $100Bn+
This is what you call HODLing
Facebook reportedly turned down a $75 million offer from Viacom in 2006.[4] That same year, Yahoo! attempted to buy the company for $1 billion but Zuckerberg refused.[5] Also that year, BusinessWeek reported a $2 billion valuation for the company.[6]
So you have invested into a social media network, built on its own blockchain, just two years after launch.
It's not a bad bet
