RE: Nearing the end of our 250 minnows in a month challenge

in #steem6 years ago

I live off of steem and steem-related money and power down weekly. I am not alone doing this in the third world. A guy in Indonesia already bought a house with steem (not a deposit - the whole house) and inspired another man there to renovate a wreck into a place his family can live in.

My rent is 85 usd a month. My sp still grows because I work hard here blogging, commenting, chasing bounties, helping other people with their blogs. If I could not take the cash out, I could not afford to be here.

I have been taking the money since Oct 2017 and living on it for 90% of my needs since Dec 2017. The huge price jump last spring meant I was able to survive well into August last year and take less out at that time. When the price is low, I make do.

More people than you can imagine can eat for $5 a week.

Sort:  

I totally get that. But I wonder how many will regret selling when steem hits it's next all time high?

For me, I will release around 10% of my personal holdings at $50/steem and a little more at $100/steem.

If things go well, I hope I can get passive income from just curation.

It's great to hear about the guy who bought a house, is there a post about it? Would love to share that on twitter. Many crypto doubters there
