I think going all in and trying to make a living of Steemit might change the whole feel of using Steemit. Even if you are super passionate about something if you turn it into a job it might change that a bit and squeeze the fun part out of it.
As for the financial part of it I think one has to think long term. I saw an article that I liked a lot about this guy who used to mine bitcoin back in the days. This was when bitcoin was worth very little. So at the time he thought it wasn't really worth mining it because of the value. Today of course if he had gone hard core mining he would be a rich rich man.
In the same way we can look at steem. We earned 14 dollars today. It's enough to support good for a day perhaps but it's not going to cover much more.
However leave it in SP and maybe what we made in one day on steemit today can be worth more than one month of salary a few
My SP will not go anywhere. My, SBD on the other hand, leave the system quite regulary.
Yes, you are right about if you turn pro it changes a lot. As you get a lot of pressure.
As for now, I am deep in the red with steemit i (BTC wise) but I also see it as a longterm investment.
We will see what the future holds :-)
I definitely think Steemit has to be seen as a long term investment, but I find more stability in it then many other alt coins because with each new member on steemit and each new user case for SMT it will get stronger. While a lot of other coins is more speculative . Steem is already here and happening :)
this is true.
While I see the value of it longterm the short term is still fucking with me. Down around 8 BTC which sucks but still enjoying my stay :-)
I am certain the future will look diffrent though
Damn, yea that definitely stings ! I have a gut feeling that long term this will be a good investment though !
Living off Steem and in Thailand sounds like a pretty nice future picture don't you think ? Could you imagine living in Thailand and settling down there long term, or is that actually your current plan ?
Tbh I am not sure yet. I will come back here probably all my life and at this point I dont want to leave but being here without breaks....dunno
It's quite different to visit a place and knowing that you are going to settle down there. Once you decide that you wants to settle down many things change. But of course those changes can be both good and bad.
When I decided to stay in China after high school it was really tough to actually start to try to adopt the culture so that I could integrate into society.
It was extremely hard and I felt completely lost many times. But today I wouldn't change this experience for anything, I have learned a lot by making it on my own in China. It has definitely pushed me to grow a lot more than I would have done if I stayed my whole life in Sweden.
But I'm going back to Sweden next year. I have already spent half my life in China so it's about time hehe
Did you lean Mandarin? I only heard it would be super hard to learn.
The thing about me and Thailand is: I really really like it here and I could see myself staying here for quite sometime but also I want to see more and not settle down.
The laws are not very inviting to build yourself something here anyways.
I hope you write an full blown 5 pages article over your China experience some day :-)
Swing by Thailand before you go back to Europe :-)
