I am only powering up now! I cannot keep taking out every week when I just wanted to get a few weeks out and buy some Bitcoin with it. Use it as Christmas Present money and also paid a car insurance bill with it too! Yes!! I love Steemit. I have finally found a home for once! I have always had to be home for my children, even my 22 year old son Adil, as he is disabled and requires 24/7 care. He is non mobile and non verbal. I have so much time at home and never found anything productive to do other than the time I spend with my son, which is substantial but he sleeps, etc. I'm up late at 1:10 AM posting to Steemit. I have gained over $1300 profit, still have 1400 in crypto and all from Steemit and a Bitcoin purchase of $110!
My son Adil! My older son 
Here, I'm on Bittrex, selling my ripple, lol! I got in early but I didn't know what I do now. It's not really cool what they are doing, they own most of it, they control the price, etc. so I decided I do not want to support it....
I just sold my Ripple - Screw the Banks! and now I am no longer powering down and only powering up from now on as I ant o be a long term community member of Steemit. I want to help others get involved more in Steem and the many different projects that come out of it. I am grateful for all of you!
POWERING UP ONLY NOW! I Love Steemit! I plan on being here a long time! :-)
I'm so grateful for everyone. Steemit has changed my life in mnay ways but the most is I feel valuable as I love thisi crypto world and actually am really good at it. I love it so much. I find it so interesting! I am obsessed for sure! Look at me it's now 1:25 am lol! I am posting to Steemit, haha! I love it, oh well! I am hooked since day 1 in June of 2017! I have over 2,000 posts, lol! I post everyday since day 1! I just love it. I appreciate it.
