Hello everyone!
It's been almost 5.5 months since I joined Steemit and even though I still consider myself as a newbie, I can say with certainty that I enjoy the ride very much so far.
Actually I joined Steemit during a period that the prices were really high and everyone was feeling great. You could feel it, in the comment section, on the number of posts...everywhere. It felt as if there was a breeze of joy.
But as more experienced investors and traders know better than me, the bull run that occurred during December and lasted till mid January wouldn't keep going forever...
And so it happened. And as the prices kept falling, this downfall that we are experiencing till today, also affected our psychology, which in my opinion is the most important thing as @kevinwong mentioned in his latest post.
And I think it is totally understandable...it is human nature after all.
I can only speak for myself and to be honest, I like every little part of this platform. The engagement, the efforts, the rewards, I literally mean everything. Of course, like in every other platform there are still many flaws that need to be fixed, but hey... "Rome wasn't built in one day" right? Because that is the potential this platform has. To be the greatest of all time. The technology is there...it is revolutionary and it is one of the best around. The rest is up to us.
It is safe to say that after we reached the 1mil users mark, we have a sample of users that represent the real life, the real society. The real world. So attitudes like greed, or kindness or hate or wealth and poverty are all over the place but that doesn't change the fact that Steemit and steem has been / still are life changers is some occasions. Check out the exponential growth in the third World countries (damn...I hate that expression) or wherever there is poverty...
So long story short, after spending all those months reading articles from fellow Steemians such as @tarazkp which he also has faith in Steem and tries to convince people to power up (by the way that guy...really produces...like a machine, so check him out if you still haven't) and since I really believe that one day it could be a life changer for me too, I decided to buy some steem and power up my account. And I think it was a good opportunity to do so, since the prices are really attractive nowadays.
So here is the proof...1.3K steem ready for power up
Powering down was never an option for me and it makes me feel sad to witness great investors powering down...as if they lost their faith....And this is just the beginning...because I will continue to do so every now and then, whenever I think it is a good opportunity. Don't misjudge me...I am not a whale or something and this money come from a hard working person, who lives in a country (Greece) that is financially damaged due to the financial crisis. It is just that it is a risk I am willing to take if there is a chance to improve my life and help other members of this community to do the same as much as I can! Time will tell if it was the right choice or not...
Stay awesome!
Cheers @mindtrap
That is a good move mate! Big things are coming in the future!
Have a good day :)
Thank you so much for everything @lordneroo
I wish you all the best
WoW you make a wise decision friend and you should see great results in near future, i also have my fiat ready and should buy more steem soon, wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors! Stay blessed
Thank you @adnanrabbani
I wish you all the best too.Thanks for dropping by!
Με Fiat money το έκανες αυτό bro;
Ναι φιλαρακι μου.Η τωρα που πανε κατα διαολου η ποτε.
Με μια "χήνα" ευρώ αγοράζεις 1.300 Steem περίπου; Ακούω ότι παίζει να πάει 40 λεπτά τον Ιούλιο. Θα περιμένω λίγο...
Οχι,θελει παραπανω...
Εχει πεσει η ισοτιμια EUR/USD
Aν πεσει και παει εκει, καλα να μαστε...και ξαναγοραζουμε :P
Good choice... while some are panicking others see an opportunity. This may be our last chance to get in at cheap prices. I myself haven't invested yet but I am thinking hard on doing so.
Well...I don’t know your financial status but even a small investment could make huge difference in the future. What if...in one or two years from now steem hits 50 or 100$ mark?
If not you’ll lose just little...but if not?
That could be said for any crypto but I agree. I have the means to invest, its only a matter if I want to or not. My plan was to grow organically as I think its an important factor on if Steemit succeeds or not. My plans may change as the price is looking too good to not invest.
No it can't. Don't forget that you have the opportunity to mine steem here as well...
Not to mention the great technology behind steem blockchain
But it is clearly your choice mate
Yeah it can .. it gets said about any crypto one believes in.
Its only XX amount, in 2010 Bitcoin was only worth pennies look at it Now is a common phrase used by those pumping any coin they believe in.
That being said, and as you pointed out Steem has lots of potential.
Very good decision @mindtrap! :) I love your enthusiasm.
I forgot my #steemit account for half an year and then rejoiced / rejoined back in the beginning of this year! :)
I am super happy to be around faithful people about anything...
This is what builds the momentum for great deeds...
I myself strive to be constanly on the blockchain no matter what...
This is my actual job nowadays :)
Respect from Bulgaria!
Thank you so much @trayan
Steemit can be a life changer but we have to try also!
