RE: What's the right move for Steemians?
You are forgetting the fact that she is breaking her budget. She had to extract money from outside her budget.
So it would be a Steemian selling his steem, then having to spend more bitcoin to buy the same amount of influence he/she had.
That's the message. So, we could say... yes you have the same amount of steem, yes it's worth more... awesome.
But... you had to take from your BTC holdings to do this.
You are using the example incorrectly if you're trying to illustrate some sort of point...
She never sells at a loss in your example, it's quite simply 20 dollars gained.
This part is the part that drives the point my friend...
It's all fungible.
If I spent $10 in BTC to move from $50 to $80 in Steem I can just sell off $10 worth of Steem to buy the BTC back, now I have $70 worth of Steem. The fact that I would have $80 worth of Steem if I'd just wandered off after the first buy doesn't matter to my overall profit except that I didn't do a very good job of maximizing it.
Am I in a worse position than someone who just stuck around in Steem? Sure. They made $30 and I only made $20. But that's just FOMO in more complicated language.
hahahahha yes you are confusing people tho....
i'll explain it to charity bot in a different way.
The end goal is to have more Steem, not to have more USD valuation of Steem.
...
hahahahhahahaha that made me laugh more than it should have.
