Thanks you @nathanmars for bringing out this, it is a topic which lives a contest to everybody and see what you treasusre most.

I loved the personality in your post because i have studied him right away from the Men who built America, Andrew Carniege was a venerated figure in the late 19th century with steel manufacture and i know he put all his efforts in manufacturing steel

• From your post there is something i can call conflicting loyality where you being torn apart by two situation and in this they seem important and worthy to trust them but in that you have amoral responsibilty to fore go one option and take on the other.

This is tricky, the one thing i have learnt about markets especially global markets operate on factors like

• The time frame for which companies or equity markets sell their stock
• The rate of turn over which commodities move in a given market system.
• Unforeseen factors like climate changes and other contingencies.

As long as those factors are favorable, then someone can sell off their stock and in this case steem but you have to predict the market trends since we live a changing business world. Speculation is good but risky iincase you succumb to wrong iformation.

Finally, i can say dont sell of your house for steem now but first value your asset and find out its worthyness in the coming few years and that will be the basis on which you can sell your house for steem. The geographical location will have to be in play to enble you sell your house for steem but if you are geographically placed, then you have no strong reason for selling you house to get steem

To be continued.....
