Right now I could less what the price is. Okay that is not 100% true, I do want it to go up and it is discouraging when it takes major hits like it is right now. But I have no plan on selling any steem for at least a couple of months and if you stop making steem now, you are not going to be happy if the price returns to where it was and starts to go up from there. If you have only been here for months you see how many ups and downs there are in this volatile market and have recovered from two 'crashes' this month alone.
If you are wondering why the price is down today, it is not just steem but the entire market. I think, because the coins are pegged to bitcoin, when the bitcoin price drops, all the other coins go with it. So it is not just steem. The top 35 coins are all red, and we are looking at 20% for a good chunk of them. Steem actually moved up to number 14 on the top 100 as the other coins are dropping more. It is not pretty but again, it happens in this volatile market.
But where does that leave you. Well you can shrink to a ball and cry. That is also a strategy. Or you can continue to do what you do on steem. Why? Because you are getting paid the same amount of steem. Every day the same amount of steem is being given out. And if the price goes back up you are making the same amount you were making anyway. So get those tears out, click the x on the coinmarketcap.com site and get your ass posting.
I will be here, posting as usual.
Or you can stare at your laptop and cry like this:
