before bitconnect my only interest was steem, because i can lock up steem power and use it to earn more steem. Bitconnect offered a similar service, but the affiliate program took it up an extra notch. I have no interest in those other speculative garbage alt-coins, only bitcoin. I played with DASH because of the genesis mining contracts, and used all that DASH to buy steem.

If I am not on steemit, crypto has no place in my life. I am staking the ex-lending coins cause i ended up with them, and don't need to sell at current prices. They will either fail or go up in value, I would rather loose it all than sell for cheap, and my experience tells me they will eventually go up in value if I keep talking about them on youtube.
