Finally, after the grueling downtrend that has been lingering on for the past couple of months we see a light at the end of the tunnel. The total crypto market is heading for a good uptrend, with Bitcoin price being 8% higher than it was in the last 7 days, it seems like we are finally getting a break from our coins being dissolved to worthlessness.
But who cares about the top 5 and BTC anymore? Show me the STEEMs and SBDs
Finally in the GREENS!
It has been devastating watching where the prices of STEEM and SBD were heading to in the past couple of weeks, but waking up today to finally see the greens everywhere brings a huge smile to my face. And I can bet I'm not the only one :)
Don't get me wrong
I don't care that much about the current price of STEEM/SBD as I'm not spending/trading any.But I know a lot of you are in this mindset when if they see STEEM prices tanking they will get discouraged and start producing less content. THAT IS THE SINGLE WORST THING YOU CAN DO!
Steem Power is my retirement fund
And I won't spend even a tiny bit of it any time soon. Maybe just invest in projects with ROI like SteemBasicIncome. The SBD I have is mostly used for fueling contest rewards + buying photography equipemnt. I got enough SBD for contests and can wait with the gear until we get another big uptrend for SBD like we had before, when the price went all the way up to 15$ per SBD. I'm a patient guy and I can wait for that a whole year if that is what it takes. And you should be too!
Don't be bothered by the downtrends, appreciate them
Always try to look at it from the bright side. For example, as STEEM was so low teh past couple of weeks we have been getting a ton of SP/STEEM as payouts. Meaning that if you were a good working bee and haven't stopped producing when you seen the price hit the bottomless pit of the downtrend, you were getting A LOT of STEEM/SP.
If you were smart about it and continued writing/producing quality content and kept earning those rewards, you stacked up a decent sum of STEEM in the past couple of months.
I managed to collect allmost 100 STEEM in the past 7 days
Something I could only dream of if STEEM was worth more. For example, when STEEM was at around 5$ I was getting somewhere around 25 STEEM a week. For someone who has no intention of selling any of his SP getting 100 SP a week is insane!
Will this positive trend continue or will the prices tank again?
No one can know for sure, and we can only hope for the best but I'm here to tell you that you should actually be happy when STEEM is low because you are getting way more than you usually would. If you are here for the long run low STEEM prices won't be a problem for you, because we all know how much STEEM is going to be worth in the future, and how underrated it currently is. Don't we?
