Dude let's play smart! I see you write long articles, but I prefer short ones! Once I did the same, but I don't know I didn't earn enough or I didn't get good audience through that articles. So I started something different and I have nothing to complain about my current earnings :D I know those are pretty weird but manageable!

Try to upvote atleast 9 times per day! You have SP and I hope you are utilizing 20% each day! From that 20%, you must claim 90% into your earnings! I think that would be the only survival method at this moment!

Do a job and keep STEEMIT as secondary option. Once we talked this, I think it's the best way to deal this high fluctuation market times and personally I hate to have a life without long term future perception. I wish you might do the same!

HOLD on, STEEM might rise anytime, I wish and I am hoping to see high in price in next August!
Cheers~
