Yeah, in the interest of time, I would buy some now...as I'm writing this, STEEM is $2.09 in the open market. However, I would buy in increments. I'm keeping my powder keg dry in case STEEM ever drops to below a buck (very unlikely). But if so, I'd buy a shitload, believe me! :)
As far as the blogging thing, I would just keep going! Although I believe I have a knack for writing, it's a skill that I honed for years, and I am still learning new things despite being published in the mainstream. So keep it up! We all are :)
Many thanks for the advice and encouragement!
