Wow thanks for the shout out and advice, and the little "pick me up" you've given me here.
My mentality with steemit from day one has very much been that I have put in a lot of time into Reddit over the years (30000+ karma which is worth $0.00 least time I checked), and that if I did the same thing here, there's no reason I can't build up some SP organically.
I still haven't put any fiat into steem yet, but will one day soon.
My recent hiatus as I touched on was as a result of alot of distractions and not a lot of spare time, and as I went longer without posting it was getting harder to get back on.
But I'm back now :)
One of these days, kabooooomm! your 0 will be multiplied by 600%!! I read it in the elliot waves. ;)
I think it is kind of like going to the gym here. The longer away, the more painful to come back. The worst pain is likely to be in 2 years when people realise how much they could have earned for a relatively small amount of work. That is crypto though it seems.
A bit like how I cry that I never bought any bitcoin when i was first reading about it in 2010, or that when I finally did buy some in 2016 just to see how it worked, i had only put in $10 and never really looked at it again until Q3 2017....
I often wonder if there's any possibility of Reddit converting to a crypto model, and they airdrop tokens to people who already hold karma.. who knows maybe my 30,000 karma would be worth $3 some day...
