RE: Are me and steemit relevant to each other? Early concerns....
Hi @thedarkhorse,
I totally agree with you. I even invested 200 euro. 100 when SDB was around 5.5USD and another 100 when it was on 2.5USD ... why everything "crashes" when I invest in it? 😝
But I still think, it's a good idea - especially now.
By the way - @earthnation-bot just announced:
@everyone. Steemit has gone through some drastic changes recently. Of most significant note, every previously existing profitable upvote service is no longer distributing profitable upvotes.
This means it is not really worth most authors time to use steemit.
It also means the EN guild boosting system is no longer profitable. For those that wish to continue usage of EN Boosts for additional publicity, you are free to do so. All current boosts will be refunded. Resend the bid amount if you wish to carry through with a non-profitable boost for additional publicity.
Minimum up-vote guarantees for boosts are no longer valid. Expect a 220-240% up-vote that will result in a 5-20% loss.
At the moment @minnowbooster still gives 275% back but I'm pretty sure it will change soon also.
And now my curiosity comes up ... may I ask you how you found this post?
I'm asking because I could imagine that @beestrong might be interested. Not many steemians with a reputation like yours find, upvote and comment on posts of newcomers.
Happy steeming!
Lol...okay you guys

I literally have no ideeeeeaaaa what anyone of you are talking about lol..😅😅😅
My head is spinning at all this information.
I am sure that in a few months as I continue using learning the basics, i will one day understand what you're all saying lol as i am sure some of it will help me in the longer term support others starting out.
In the meantime, im gonna trust the process and the people around me.
Its got me this far in my life and its a good life.
@thedarkhorse
Apparently you have abit of a rep here, which sadly i have no appreciation of whatsoever. But i really do appreciate your time and comments. Just so sorry i dont understand.
It has been really enjoyable just watching you all chat together and nice feeling knowing that my little post is creating something interesting.
I now have a list of about 20 subjects to read about and learn but if I focus on that im gonna miss the chance to connect and comment and that is where i am at right now....
Thanks so much
Don't worry @beestrong ...you will understand more and more after a while. Just learn how everything works at your own pace while you are commenting and connecting to people. 😃 If I did not have my boyfriend @pundito, i would have been lost at the beginning. And i'm still a bit confused but : learning by doing 🙃
Don't think I have any rep yet, just a minnow working on growing my account with a little more experience then you have. I tend to research everything to death to fully understand what I'm doing.
If you have questions just ask. There are LOTS of people out there that are willing to help. Including many that are way more knowledgeable then myself.
And take your time. You are learning an entirely new platform so expect a learning curve.
I bought 200SP and 100 steem that I use for upvotes and SP rentals. Always allowing the balance of SBD/steem to get back to 100 each couple weeks to make sure I'm not loosing money on here. Really thinking of buying another 200SP with the lower price right now.
At 220-240% you might actually be profitable right now. Everyone uses 25% curation, but that isn't actually true. It would be if nobody including the author upvoted before the 30 minute mark. I have a number of people that autovote my posts around 25 minutes so part of the curation comes back to me, plus I upvote when I post which lowers the curation a little. Think that most posts give out around 18% to curation vs the 25% that is expected...and some of the larger accounts on here can get that down to 10% with their own large upvote at 0 minutes. Another advantage of having some voting weight.
Minnowbooster is a great service and one I would highly suggest using whenever possible for a new member. If you can guarantee a profit why wouldn't you pay for a bid?
Thanks for the explanation @thedarkhorse!
I believe your thoughts here are absolutely right.
Also, another investment will be perfectly timed right now.
I'm really looking for $1.50 US, not sure why but it feels like the right number to me and I tend to trust my gut. Been say that would be the bottom for a month now. If it hits the $1.50 it will probably be a 200 steem purchase so I can lock in the slider bar even without my SP rentals. Really think that steemit becomes much more enjoyable once you can vary your votes with the sliderbar.
