Thank you so much steemit for the up-votes in the past. I figured I would tell you all exactly what I have done with the steem dollars earned and why. I moved a portion over to poloniex and spread it across some coins I like or think may change someday. You can see them here.
I like some of these coins and don't like having all eggs in one basket. Try not to poke too much fun at my minnow balance :)
The rest I put into cloud mining at xmine.org. I am not sure how I feel about them but they are paying... I plan to do a full review of the site with all the pros and cons in the near future.
I bought 800 Xcloud. (Xcloud is a digital currency used only on xmine.org, it is basically your hash rate)
This investment currently pays out 8708 sats per hour.
The site only allows you to withdraw once every 24 hours but so far every one has been a success. Here are the withdraws.
I then took those sats and traded them for steem on poloniex and turned it into steem power on steemit :) . Speaking of steem power I didn't power down any and don't plan on it anytime soon. I want more power not less.
In conclusion your up-votes have guaranteed a minimum income of $1.22 US daily in digital currency form. This may not seem like much to most, but it means a lot to me. Future earnings will go to another cloud mining site for testing and review. Anyways thank you all so much for your steem support and up-votes, an up-vote for
