I invested in ETH late 2016 when it was around 10$ a token. When I saw the price rise I was afraid of losing my figurative USD profits so I sold, but if I had waited longer I would have made so much more.

When I initially thought of investing in eth I wanted to be able to use the platform to write the contracts currently written by lawyers for houses, cars, as well as business structures. I saw all this future potential and bought in now so I would have ETH to spend on platform services.

Since then I ended up living off those profits until I ran out of money and had to get a job to support myself. The opportunity loss has stuck with me though. My intention here on steem is to never convert back to Fiat. I want to be able to pay directly with steem or SBD. Since the utility function of crypto's is the ultimate goal.

I also realized I've not heard steem having smart contract capabilities is that true or false?
