Strangely looking forward to a price dropsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago

I know this is wrong, and I want Steemit/Steem to be successful as a forum and a currency, and clearly I would be well off if the price of Steem should skyrocket, but...there is a part of me that is looking forward to a price drop.

Benefits of a drop in price:

  • Less people bugging me in Steemit/discord chat. Less link spam, less technical support, less people asking me for advice on how to be a super blogger
  • Less fake/insincere people around. When the price drops below 30 cents a Steem, then you will really see who cares about this platform and who is just here for the money.
  • Great opportunity to scoop up tons of Steem on the cheap and become an even bigger whale for the next price bubble.
  • Less spam, less catfish, less crap, less milestone posts.
  • More time to write my own posts, or even do non-steemit things.
  • Steemit definitely has a more intimate, small town feel when the price goes down, and you feel like you know everyone.
  • Did I mention less people bugging me in chats?

It is time to separate men from boys, to know who really understands the essence of the platform. This is true for Steem as well as for other cryptos

I discovered Steemit less than a month ago, but I already see an excellent potential of this platform for the medium / long term. If the price drops to 1 cent it is better, so we can accumulate a lot of SP, just like the great whales of today did.

I agree with you my friend, I think we are facing a great opportunity!

Upvote and resteem.

You win comment of the day.

Yeah, I like when the things I love go on sale. haha Back up the truck, friends!

And that's not "just about the money", and ONLY about getting yours, so screw anybody else, why should we care about actual content, as long as we can pump-and-dump?
Exactly who besides investors should bother to join Steemit, then? Certainly not minnows like me without fat wallets...

That's correct.
The weak will be leaving.
I have been thru this down turn more than a few times.
In fact it is good for my account

Haha! But you won't get rid of me!

Somehow I understand you, on the other hand: the whole move in also brought some interesting bloggers. But if the comment spammers could get lost I agree that would be a benefit.

Time to buy steem :)

You are so right @neoxian , when the price drops that's when u see who really love the platform, and i'm loving it for better than facebook and i hope to see this project skyrocket in the future benefiting the next generation, great post thank you for the share

I say the exact same thing! More power for the next power price rise! We all know it will happen! BUT when! :)

I have wanted Steem to come down so I could buy a whole bunch of it and get some power!!

I am with you here, I remember when Steem was around .08 and it was much cooler minus the experiments.

I'm quite okay with this phases of the crypto market in general and STEEM/Steemit in particular.

Only been here for a month & unfortunately invested in STEEM before it fell, but I'm not worried about it because I'm thinking long term. Also, I legitimately enjoy and believe in this platform.

I have noticed there's a bit less clutter and noise around recently, haha. I've always wondered how those of you that've been around a while deal with people constantly asking you for help, you must have infinite patience!

I remember when Steem was a dime. Even then the site was paying better than anywhere else. In any comment thread, I knew at least half the people! I also remember the month of almost zero payouts after the previous HF.
