The crypto market has seen some turbulent times. Both the price of STEEM and SBD are down considerably since January. Good content is becoming more difficult to find and some people are losing faith.
Have you stopped posting because the price of STEEM is down? Well if that is the case then good, because you are obviously here for the money and money only. But if you believe in Steemit, if you believe you produce good content, if you have been involved in the community aspects of Steemit then I bet, like me, you are still posting.
The price of STEEM and SBD have been considerably higher than now, and believe me, in time, they will go that high again and even higher.
Use this time wisely. Don’t stop posting because you are not earning enough. Do you really think if you stop posting now and then come back for the good time when the price is high, people here will support you? Be consistent. Continue to produce great if not awesome content and while we have this downturn, use it to grow you’re following, to engage with other, and as the weeks and months go by, your STEEM and SBD holdings will grow.
Continue to engage within the communities, as this is where relationships are fostered and grow as this will be key to your success on steemit. If you have joined a community and are no engaging with them, don’t expect anything in return. But if you engage with them, they will engage with you.
When the prices rise again you will be very very glad that you have done this.
I know not everyone is a great writer, but there are many ways you can earn STEEM on Steemit. If you watch this video you will find other ways.
There are also contents that you can enter and we have one on the way. Yesterday I spoke with @Mrday. He is a very active member of the Indonesian community on the steemitBC discord server. Always helping, always welcoming people, and always answering questions. His community spirit rocks and if you ask me, he will be a Steemain to watch moving forward.
So @Mrday is going to run a contest in the next few days – with a prize of $5 SBD that I have sponsored. So hope over to his account and follow him so you don’t miss out on this contest. And while you are there, engage with him because like I said he is one to watch moving forward.
In addition to this, today I placed a witness vote for 
Finally
Don’t lose faith in Steemit. Learn to understand how it works, what it is all about. Don’t come for the money or expect awesome financial rewards, but come for the community, to make friends. That way you will not be disappointed and you will stay forever
