I sold my almost 9,000 liquid steem last January, plus some steem I hold because I just needed the money to cover for my expenses because I had an Appendectomy, my saved hard cash suddenly went "Aaaaand it's gone". So even though the price of steem at that moment is so low I have to sell some because the dialysis center will never take a leaf for a payment.
But I only used half of it after buying some XRP which I plan to sell once XRP probably moves to a higher price point.

Now some XRP sits on my online wallet which I took from Bittrex. Now I am thinking of selling it for BTC and then buying maybe STEEM again with it since I think XRP is really sluggish with its movements or maybe I am just too impatient about it.

But I bought XRP when BTC is just at around $9,120 dollars and it costed .084 BTC. Now if I would happen to sell it I will get .0745 BTC.

But if I would re-buy STEEM for example with it I will get 4,739 STEEM at this time of my writing.
There will be a little profit if I would sell my XRP for BTC and tehn if I would sell it for steem and if steem goes up again in value I can profit more.
The thing is that you will never know if XRP would shoot up, the only pros about it is it is almost a stable coin as it is not affected much by the BTC fluctuation whereas STEEM is comparatively highly volatile son of a crypto which may shoot down but it has a good history of pumping a bit with its oscillating price action.
It is quite a decision that I have to make but maybe whatever decision I will end up is still in my opinion "good" because I am confident that BTC will really just pull up (or down) most of the cryptos anyway especially in these instance that the prediction about BTC's price is really something that will make you smile.
