I love your posts Craig but you're wrong on this one. You didn't earn $3500 in a week until its converted to BTC or USD!
According to your scenario, if STEEM drops to low $1 (which as a trader you know that will most likely happen with STEEM in the short term), does that mean you will have lost $thousands that week? No! It's all just digits on a screen until it's safely out of the platform and in cold storage or on paper in your hand ;)
so when it drops to $1, and you and hoards of other steemers buy some cheap steem, it will sky rocket to $4.50, and then I will be happy I never put it in the bank, where I don't need it
