Anyone who reads my articles knows that I am optimistic about what is taking place on the Steem blockchain and the development that is happening.
For much of 2019, I took the opportunity to buy some STEEM when it dropped to a pricing point I felt advantageous. Using a bit of Warren Buffett's advice, when you are bullish on something and it goes on sale, it is a good idea to load up.
The drop overnight in the price of STEEM meant that one of my levels was hit. STEEM for under 30 cents is something that I cannot turn my back on. It is something that I felt I had to take advantage of.
This morning, I bought a 2,000 STEEM and powered it up. In my mind, this is a gift that the market is giving to everyone who believes in the long-term prospects of Steem.
By adding 2,000 SP, I officially moved from Dolphin to Orca. This was a goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year, so I am glad I was able to achieve it.
I feel that I am a testament to what is possible on here. When I joined Steem, I did not have a following on social media or a number of people who I knew on here. Instead, I was just some guy who showed up and started to get active.
My Steem Power is not all organic i.e. coming from the reward pool. I did buy STEEM on a number of occasions over the past year along with catching the attention of a couple of larger accounts. When one shows him or herself to be dedicated to this ecosystem, it will attract others who feel the same.
Even though my job situation changed, I still can spare a bit of money for STEEM. Since I joined, I have not taken a single token out. This is something that I feel is vital to growing the our Steem holdings, both individually and collectively.
So once again, this is a prime opportunity for those who are long-term believers in Steem to add to their holdings. When the price drops below 30 cents, I feel the potential for massive gains is there.
For those who doubt, I put my money where by keyboard is.

Couldn’t have phrased it better myself! That’s exactly how I see it. As a newcomer, there is definitely potential for steem to go to what it’s been at peaks, even higher maybe. Not only can you get a good chunk for less, giving you more power here, you can also bet that it’s going to at least reach some of the points it has before, even if it does not skyrocket any time soon.

That’s my position here now. :) no followings, knew nobody here (but was lucky enough to make some friends and garner some support early on.), and just got right to things! Wrong or right, I just started to post things I thought about. Seems they invoked thoughts from others, so it feels good and I wish to continue it.
I know for sure all of my steem won’t be organic. I will be buying more as I can, in increments. If you really believe in something, you invest in it, truly invest. Time, money, energy. All of it.

Gave you a follow, trying to help those who are new here outside of the introduction section!
It took me about 3 months to gain traction, so hopefully I can help others gain traction sooner than that!

Thanks for the comment @lookplz.
I would suggest that you use @actifit if you havent already done so. It is a great way to get some addition votes and earn some SP for simply being active.
You will also earn AFIT tokens with talks of more partnerships coming.
Together we will all grow.
Well done and it is a clear example to all of us.
keep our emotions in check.
This is belief and believe on all of us to act the same way.
Keep on postin
Buying steem is always a good thing and all know and preach this. But only a few are buying.
It's always amusing for me when some so-called influencers from YT join and don't buy a single steem. They have even balls to put donation wallet addresses ,,down bellow''.
People even delegate and upvote them.
The only few can see the bigger picture.
Keep preaching, my friend. I personally don't even care anymore if some shit sticks to the wall.
I'm just collecting, hodling and stacking.
Thanks my friend. You bring up a valid point about the YT...simply here to take.
I guess they feel their large following entitles them to it. It is our own fault since that is the idea we promote....come to Steem, post your content, and get rich overnight.
I am with you...ignoring the noise and trying to accumulate all I can. Some of it is going to stick when things explode. Since I am not sure which tokens that will be, it only makes sense to add as many different ones as I can.
Things are starting to heat up....I wonder how many are truly paying attention.
Congratulations for being an orca👍💐

Good Morning!
I love the enthusiasm about Steem here, I am also a true believer of the long term value!

Gosh, I still can’t keep the orca dolphin thing straight. Orca is 25k?

50K...
Steem uses multiples of 10 starting with Minnow at 500 SP...
ok, cool... I can get to dolphin in this swoon i hope!

Congratulations to have reached the orca club.

Awesome man! I’m looking to grab some more if it goes below .25¢ and even more if it goes below .20¢. It seems with the big players constantly cashing out that it will get there at some point in the fall in my opinion.
I too haven’t sold a single Steem or even exchanged to another non Steem crypto. Feeling the strength!
We can laugh if Steem spikes and people are once again complaining that they weren’t around when the ‘price was super low’ so they couldn’t buy. It’s good now, so go ahead!
Congrats - I'm totally skint but I couldn't resist buying another 200 myself - I'll just eat less!
Too good to miss at these prices!

so right to buy low and sell high. Moving down to the 78 list is a little nerve racking. But I'm focusing more on blogging and accumalting new tokens within the STEEM multiverse. So it's good.
Nice job, going to buy some more right now as well.
Orca is 50K?
Roughly. Right now I think it is about 50,100 SP.
1 MV = 501 SP
Congratulations on reaching Orca!
Congrats man! That is a huge achievement and well deserved! Love seeing STEEM flow into the strongest hands!
Awesome. As what Baron Rothschild said, it's time to buy when there's blood in the streets!
P.S. But it's a little too bloody, hope it stops eventually XD
Congratulations!
Now is the time to be acquiring Steem. When it moons, it will be too late.
right call.
That is awesome! I have also been powering up all my Splinterlands earnings daily trying to get to at least 1000SP.. I was at 200 a few months ago but am almost to 600 now!
Congratulations! :-)
I hope you caught the falling knife. I'm not comfortable to buy for a few months.
Congratulations @taskmaster4450! It's great you were able to grow your account! Steem on 🌟🌲🍻
Right on, congrats on your Orca status! ^_^
I wish I had the funds to buy up, but alas. I will keep plugging away, though!
Congratulations @taskmaster4450!
You raised your level and are now an Orca!
Vote for @Steemitboard as a witness to get one more award and increased upvotes!
Hi, congrats on this achievement. It is said that people who write down their goals are 1000% more likely to achieve them. Well done

I had the same thought this morning! Moved my average cost to $0.70 which seems like a bargain considering what is being built here!

Congrats to you!
Totally agree @taskmaster4450. It's great people like yourself are keeping perspective. People like you will be the next wave of steemit, whenever that is. The more it tanks the more influence you gain on the sellers, at a breakneck pace. Since I have been on here I have also reminded people to keep a long view here. This is not like being an uber driver, or meant to be a second gig, at least at the moment. It's a place to establish roots at a very early point as the ecosystem makes itself viable. This stuff doesn't happen overnight and the right 'long game' approach needs to be taken as a time to accumulate if you plan on being here for any period of time, which by your sentiment seems to be the case. I am also very glad to be dropping my vote to those that accepting SP for a payout which is also very cool. Very well said.

Congratulations @taskmaster4450 for completing your objective ! I just made it to Dolphin rank yesterday, and so complete mine :)
You're right, those prices are a real benediction to upgrade ours stakes !
thanks you for all your precious informative articles !
Congrats! ;)
The people selling now will regret it later unless they really need the money. I think you made a good decision. I'm doing similar stuff right now. There are several other cryptos besides Steem that are undervalued because a lot of people got bored and packed their bags.
