I should start off by saying this is not financial advice, it's just me documenting what I'm doing, the choices I'm making in this blog of mine. If five years from now I'm going to look back at these posts as the best choices I ever made, or a time when I was just too crazy, it remains to be seen.
I don't care about the price right now
At least not in the sense that when STEEM drops a few pennies, I'm clutching to my metaphorical pearls wondering all the reasons why life has chosen to punish me. I see this time as an opportunity, and even though the market shows these crazy low numbers, I know the prices don't reflect the true value.
I will go as far as to say that I hope we remain sideways a little longer. I want to be able to accumulate as much STEEM as possible, and as a friendly whale once said. I don't want to be guy that didn't buy STEEM at 30 cents...
Initiatives are awesome but...
Let's face it, without influence on this blockchain is extremely hard to get anything off the ground. I know, I was there too and spent a considerable time working towards changing that reality.
Not that there is something inherently wrong with requesting delegations for good projects, but it can be frustrating to have a great idea, but not be great at getting people on board with it. Having influence, having skin in the game, makes all the difference, as much as an idealistic mind might disagree with me.
Setting new Goals for myself
Before this market actually bottoms and turns around, I hope to get to 30K SP on this account. It might sound crazy, since I'm barely over half way there, but I never thought I could get to 10K to begin with.
The trick is that there is no trick at all. If you can set aside $20 dollars per week to cost average, $10, whatever you can comfortably do, that is one very solid way of taking advantage of these crazy discounts. If you can't, as I'm sure some people simply can't, then staying engaged and adding value in the way of content or through initiatives, regardless of the price, and powering up, of course, is very valid too.
Yes, a little crazy... But if there is one thing I don't want to regret is not trying hard enough.
Much Love
