I really like the way you put this. I hadn't seen your blog before but this post was resteemed onto my feed and I'm glad it was. The pump is fun for me but scary. I see my value go up and then down without acting. I feel like I should sell my liquid steem during the pump and then buy back a few days later. I've powered up most of my earnings because I'm in for the long haul but feel like I could be smarter financially if I used the pumps to get more steem after the "dump"
