THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE; THIS IS MY JOURNEY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MONEY.

Money doesn't sit on the table long. When big investors see what Steem is really worth, being two weeks late could be the difference in life-changing opportunity.

The ability for Steem to be the Proof of Brain for the internet and form as a backbone for incentives communities whether it be bloggers, vloggers or Steem Monsters.

We will see projects built on top of Steem (@steemMonsters) that make it easy for people to buy in with fiat. This should be no different for every UI, be it for blogging or videos. An easy fiat on-ramp to Steem is, and we will see that ramp up in the future. People look at exchanges as the end all be all.

99% of people will never, ever use a transaction. I repeat, 99% of people will never, ever use a transaction. How many people buy apple phones as compared to Apple stock.

When someone wants to cash in and out of Steem, the projects that make that the easiest will be the ones that separate themselves from the pack. People wish to have one-click buy Steem in their account and one-click cashout into their legacy fiat wallets (banks, PayPal).

We are here, the foundation, the necessity in the age of Google and Facebook, we are the saving grace.

Would be a conspiracy if big players weren't moving the market down.
Crypto is so speculative and sentiment driven. - sheep
open source crypto is revolutionary since the internet.

Confidence.
Don't let outside influences dictate your beliefs.
Steem was good at 8$ but sucks at .50cents is Fugazi

20mil in a bull market is 5 mil in a bear
The ability to buy blood.
You see why "buy low sell high" is a meme.
Knowledge is power = Confidence to buy blood.

"When millionaires inside trade, price pumps before the run, when billionaires inside trade the price dumps before the run."

Big time traders are feeling weary, possible sign the selling could end.

Steem is your voice, hold it dear.
Nothing great comes without first a bit of uncertainty.

Remember, there is not enough Steem for every user of Reddit to have 1 Steem; if a few Steem are needed to have accounts even function, there isn't much to go around.

Steem Witness Spotlight: Hive account@therealwolf

RealWolf's Reasons:
1.) Closing the gap between users and investors and
2.) Bringing value to developers of Steem and the whole eco-system.

My Personal Reasons:

RealWolf- humble, started out with nothing but knew that to have a positive impact he had to build himself up first. "I can't give, what I don't have" - wolf outlook
Made himself easy to approach and seems always to be around.
My, go to with any question, Hive account@therealwolf Hive account@themarkymark & Hive account@acidyo
Introvertish, however self-aware. He once posted admittingly saying he felt uncomfortable speaking out in someones else's thread but thought he should reply. Self-awareness with the ability to self-criticize and overcome being uncomfortable is the recipe to grow limitlessly.

The Final Reasons:

Entrepreneur - Created Hive account@smartsteem -which introduced a whitelist model to the community. Recently added smart monsters (a cool way to buy/sell Hive account@steemmonsters cards) - adding smart monsters just shows the hustle of therealwolf and are the signs of someone who is successful.
Dev at Hive account@utopian-io - trained himself to write Javascript, NodeJS and VueJS in 3 months - because "I had ideas in my mind that I wanted to realize - but for this, I needed the Skills." - This shows determination. Active contributor on GitHub and was instrumental in resolving the post-hf situation with his client tools/assistance.
sees himself as a developer of business ideas. "I like to tinker around here and there and be creative and disruptive." - I'm a serial, and this mindset resonates with me.
