The main Key is time and patience.
Because Crypto in general and Steem in particular has still lot of potential in it. Especially if someone is targeting it for a longer period.
If someone intends to invest in this business, one should be very careful and have proper study of the crypto currencies, which he/she intend to buy.
One should also be very clear which type of investment he/she wants to make i.e short term or day trading, medium term and long term.
It seems that prices are at the lower side and eventually will go up if invested for the longer period. The point here is one should invest only that much of amount which he can afford to hold for a longer period.
If the value of Steem is not increased, it is still profitable as we can earn by investing it in Steemit platform.
To me, Steem has a great future.
