RE: STEEM bottom where art thou?

in #exyle5 years ago

It has been a wild ride indeed @exyle. Incredible reflecting on how much things have changed over the past few years when looking at that chart. It has been a tough and stressful time for investors. The lessons I have learned trading over the past few years are priceless. Its important we all stay focused and remember why we are here and what we have learned along the way. I am still holding the same Steem I traded my 200+ BTC for in November 2016. I could have cashed out long ago...but I am holding it for the same reason I invested in it in the first place. I see great potential here. World changing potential. I will never forget the time I read this post:

Social media has changed everything about our society since 2007. I still cant forget the feeling I had when I first discovered this blockchain and browsed this website. The technology behind it and the way it has been implemented is the first of its kind. The community around it is awesome and growing. There is more information here than people can imagine. At times, I stumble onto Steem posts as I am searching Google for random things with no intention of reading a Steem post. There are many creative and intelligent people on this chain and a abundance of content/information. The possibilities are endless. Although many fail to realize Steems full potential as of this moment, I am not worried. There are a ton of new faces who have entered the space over the past year or so. The majority of them listen to what YouTube and mainstream news tells them and are worried about making a quick dollar. They are not focused on core technology and really understanding things for themselves. Over time as this chain develops and people learn they will begin to understand Steems implications.

Yeah, the lessons learned are priceless indeed. I will take them with me for the rest of my life and I guess many will.

Same here. Like it was yesterday.

Three years ago I wrote a post. A little bit lower please! On Steemprice..

It was the first time you commented on any of my posts.

I guess I could have written that post today but then including all the other awesome projects that are on here and the potential of SMT's and communities.

I respect you a lot for still being here man and staying invested in Steem. Thank you for that.
