If you believe this you are dead wrong, or at least too short sighted to see a little into the future. Yes, the "payouts" looks low but don't be fooled, it is so deceiving to judge it from the dollar sign. Our votes look like so much less because the steem we produce or worth under a dollar currently. But this is where we have to be the most aggresive because now a post worth just 10 dollars gives almost 11 STEEM right into your warm wallet.
In other words, it is high season for the steem harvest! This bear market is our gift and another chance to build and act on it!
The payouts are small, but the ease of building an investment is big!
Writing posts and getting votes from your comments are currently giving you an extraordinary amount of steem because of the low value it currently has. So yes if you transfer your steem right into fiat here and now, surely you won't earn much. But by gathering steem aggressively in the next half year could probably be the best thing you could do in the current situation. SMTS are right around the corner and will be transforming steem into a protocol currency that has a good shot at getting huge success(I am a believer in this). To me, that is a big potential of reward vs the low risk. honestly, I see almost no risk in investing your time into accumulating some steem right now. You don't have to invest your own money, just be active and beleive.
For me personally, there's no better time to blog, post and even investing my fait money. Sure maybe the possibility of getting down to 60 or 70 cents/steem could be possible. but even 80 or 90 cents is such a bargain in my world.
But really, when I see a 10 dollar post gives almost 11 STEEM(split between Steem power of course). I am super excited. It felt so boring when you were getting like 1 or 2 steem for the same value post when we had steem hovering around the 4 or 5 dollars for a while.
Build an investment NOT a salary!
There's no excuse if you miss this opportunity
The bear market has been going on for such a long time. Some people believe we will see another sell-off, some people believe the bull run is just around the corner.
To me I hope we see another sell-off to extend the bear market a little more, I am simply not ready for the bull run just yet. I need more time to earn and powering up as much steem as I can. In fact, I hope that steem will stay stuck in this price range for the rest of the year. (OH people are gonna hate me for saying this) but this not only shows how long-term invested I am in steem but also how confident and greedy I am. I truly believe we will find success, so I don't care if I have to wait longer, in fact, I prefer that!
If this shouldn't be the case, well, I guess my current investment will be just as happy as it is.
Win/win!
What's your strategy?
I have a bunch of strategies that I am relying on. One is having some other crypto coins I believe might take off before steem to take advantage of trading those coins into even more steem.
Another is just to blog, post and engage on Steemit with all my heart and passion to on earn and power up every single steem I can afford.
This is merely just me believing in the product we are having, and I want a big piece of the pie as possible.
So I am asking, what is your strategy? are you bullish? are you still waiting for a better opportunity? Let me know!
