Those of you who have bought Steem since January will be at a loss
Which was my situation exactly when I started buying STEEM. I started buying in August and September of 2016. The first major buy, STEEM was 90 cents; the second, it was at 50 cents. As oldbies know, it was on its way to 10 cents and even below.
I toughed through the losses and even bought more when it was between 15 and 20 cents. I had to wait a very long time, but I was eventually vindicated.
The same dynamic applies now. Just HODL on and give it a couple of years. Worked for me.
