"We can ignore them, we can remove the power they have over our day, over the right now"
When the value of the coin determine what you gonna feed your children with, it's impossible not to look at it.There's a wide range of people being on steemit for so many different reasons, that's probably why it's so fascinating too.
I love networking, but I love to provide for the one I love even more. There's always been a secret contract between Steemit and I.
I entertain its users and it feeds the family. The volatility, that we cannot control, will always have an effect on me, until I don't need Steemit anymore to make a living.
The day I can have steem sitting around my account and not touching it, I will be able to relax, and it will be easier to ignore the ups and downs of the market.I agree with @atomcollector on how much we learn about crypto by being on steemit!
I still have fun reading you and others though :)
