I spent months earning SBD with my posts. When I got above $500 worth, I started playing the internal market a bit. It was fun, and I learned a bit in the process. I'd sell on the spikes for STEEM and then buy back on the dips. Working with small amounts didn't really make a huge difference, but it was still fun. Recently, when the price got around $0.10, I sold all my SBD and bought STEEM. I figured I could buy back SBD at $0.12 or higher to make a nice little profit and increase my SBD holdings again.
Today, I figured...
Screw it. I'm just going to power this up.
The USD value of STEEM may keep going down. This may be a memory of a failed crypto investment. But I don't really care right now, because I also see the potential for the future.
There are now only 249 accounts on planet earth which have more Steem Power than I do.
#250
Can you imagine saying the same thing about bitcoin less than a year after it was invented?
I never thought I'd hit 250. I thought waves of new investors would flock into this crypto and bump everyone else down the list. 3 second confirmation times? 10's of thousands of transactions a second? Account recovery features? A built in, decentralized, censorship-resistant social media platform which pays users for creation and curation? What's not to love about this technology?!?
I don't understand why the market hasn't responded more enthusiastically. I don't understand why so many other cryptos are increasing in value right now and STEEM seems to be relatively ignored.
So I figured, screw it. I'll just power up and hope for a long-term return. This is some amazing technology, and I'm hopeful someday more people will recognize it as such and want to store their value here.
I guess I'll try building up my SBD balance again so I can keep learning on the internal market.
Care to join me?
