It took a big scare to light a fire under my ass, and finally get the ball rolling. That's what this article is really about.

That’s true! Until fear pushes us, not many of us can even imagine what we can be capable of.

Fear has many valid uses, but if I let it convince me to gobble up my savings now, then STEEM skyrockets in value like ETH and BTC did, I would never forgive myself for missing out.

You just took the words out of my mouth. That’s exactly the reason I got into crypto. I would rather loose everything than not trying at all and miss out. When it comes to your book publication, I’m really confident you will eventually succeed. As long as you know you did everything you could, I have no doubts your efforts will eventually pay off. You are one of few steemiens making multiple meaningful posts each day, not some gargage like we mostly see on trending page. I know you only from reading your posts here. I don’t know you personally, but I’m really not worried about you and your future. I know it’s tough now, it may get even tougher. Have you ever considered upvoting your own comments? I saw many good steemiens do this and it doesn’t seem they are having any problems by doing it.
