Well, it's about to get a whole lot harder out here, buddy. On the face of it anyways...

Still no stopping over here, but looks like I’m gonna have to wait for a serious influx of new money into Steem before I ever get my dreams of dropping the whole job thing 😅

Don't give up on that dream, pal! But yes, might take a while getting there. For all of us.

Living off the profits from social media only, not many can do that, yet so many dream of such a huge goal here on Steem, unreasonable amount I'd say, for now at least. Perhaps people really should tone down their expectations for how much money their posting to social media can really bring. If it's so easy, everyone on Youtube/Instagram etc. would be making a "killing"

You must not have been around for $8 Steem. Everybody was getting huge payouts. $40 a post was common for me then. That was after a month of two of being on here.

And how long did that last? And do you know why the spike even happened?

I was here long before that actually.

I was going by the age of the account I’m commenting to now. I didn’t know you had another account.

No. Did you buy up all the Steem and raise the prices back then? 🤣
Being silly. No worries, I know it’s unlikely to happen again. Not impossible though.

It's got every chance of happening again, my friend. Have faith! Wanna know why? I'll be posting about it tomorrow... :)

I’ll be here when it happens

Yes, you got it right. It was pure speculation.

The prices could rise that high again for sure, but the ecosystem would have to actually reflect that value for the price to actually stay there for any prolonged time.
