howdy this fine Sunday sir funbobby51! I choose to believe it is just a slump. The people who were here last year say the exact same thing happened and then the prices took off in November so we'll see if that's a pattern but I think there is still room for optimism.
If it was just Steem that was down in price then yes but since it's all cryptos I will keep chugging along for awhile. I like this post though, thought-provoking indeed.
I have seen some charts where bitcoin has a run up at the end of the year pretty much every year. I will be powering down in November if I have more than 500 STEEM to catch the December highs. Thanks for the reply!
howdy again sir funbobby51, yes that sounds like a good strategy.
