How we see at things determines the effect something has. In most cases, it's always a matter of perspective. I know people who proved that a lot of times and I asked myself how this is even possible.
In tough conditions and circumstances to stay full of hope, joy and zeal. Some experiences why I love to talk much about motivational stuff or things which can have an immediate an impact on your life. Looking to connect those messages with something palpable.
Currently, the overall crypto market doesn't look bright. And STEEM is no exception. Led by this fact people are powering down, the activity is going down, and one Steemian called the current situation a Mass exodus.
Fact is that the crypto market doesn't look bright right now, but its the whole market in general.
If we change the perspective regarding STEEM this current status quo could be a big chance. I don't know if you are aware of that but if fewer people are active on this blockchain that means that there is more in the reward pool to be distributed to fewer people. When we change the perspective in one direction then is now the time to dive deeper into the Steemit Ocean. To take this opportunity to gather more STEEMPOWER which can make one day a big difference.
When the success story comes, people will maybe say: If I would have been in that time then...
I can imagine that some people who could say this one day are already among us.
Use your chance while others are hiding the dessert.
It's too hot; it's not worth it right now.
People who change their perspective now or in similar times will hopefully see one day that it was worth it.
Keep in mind that we are not paid in USD or another fiat currency. It happens fast, and I made this mistake in the beginning too. Looking at the USD value will lead us to the wrong thinking. The USD payout might be less, but STEEM will stay the same. And when there are less active users, there are more STEEM units to share among them. The low price should motivate you to hit the accelerator.
For a more technical explanation of that, I recommend reading that post here.
I mean everyone who is buying STEEM. And the amount doesn't matter. Don't think that only people which a bunch of money are investors in STEEM.
When you plan to buy STEEM do it in times, we have now. I don't have to explain what the benefits are when the price will increase again.
After the all-time high, some people or the most hoped that STEEM would stay forever at that mark or go even further( Hopefully, it will one day). But because the crypto market is highly volatile, we have to count with some of those more significant pullbacks. And that is the time to buy.
Ok, maybe you don't have money laying round to invest immediately. Let me tell you this: the next time prepare already dough for precisely that kind of scenario. This is exactly what I did. At the beginning of the year, I made the plan when this scenario might happen I have already something prepared for it. Now I can make a calm decision and for the case, I invest, I will surely not cry or regret because it is meant for that purpose. But if I don't becasue I decided for something different it also alright.
Six months ago I wrote about this effect in that post: How To Turn A Loss Into A Win.
The scenario is different, but the core message is the same. People treat money differently depending on where it comes from. And now I add: For what they prepare it for. That is called Mental Accounting.
Why am I saying that? Because investing will always be a risk. Buying at this price will minimize the risk but never take it completely. When you already prepared money for the purpose of investing it will be a help for the case it will be lost. I don't think that it will be with STEEM, but no one knows. ;)
And again it doesn't matter if we speak about 10$, 100$, 1000$, 10000$ or more.
Now is a good time to invest, and primarily I mean your activity here.
Differences happen in times like that.
