In my case, I'm making use of this bear market largely because I'm in a situation where I have that option. I'm currently semi-homeless, unemployed, but receiving a small stipend from an insurance company due to a worker's comp claim. I have absolutely -no right- to be investing that money under any rational circumstances... however..

I do have shelter, in a camper on my father's land. I do have food (holy crap, so much food) because my step-mother cooks for stress relief. And believe it or not, I have been in -much worse- situations than this. I spent the summer eating out of trashcans and raiding ashtrays for smokes while working a full-time job because I was fleeing an abuser. I've learned to live on a scale that many Americans would consider sub-human... So this incredibly meager lifestyle is a palace to me. I am staggeringly grateful for my blessings.

And I know those blessings are not going to last. I can't stay here forever, nor would I wish to.

Effectively, I have this once in lifetime opportunity to put spare cash into a bear market, and reap the rewards, which are without question; most questionable. And that's completely fine by me, cause I've thrown away more money than you can imagine living the American Convenience-Culture lifestyle, and it nearly killed me. Here's a post that I wrote the first time I dropped $100 on Steem. I just dropped $100 more yesterday, for even greater rewards.

Lol, riding the bears all the way to Heaven. <3
