Coins and more Coins, STEEM and some Crypto

As you may have noticed, I have gotten pretty busy with work and other real life issues, and I may touch up on that a little later, but today I got a day off so I took advantage yesterday to make some investments and on my day off I ended up having to help another family member going through a hard time (recently lost their place). So instead of making a bunch of posts today I was busy working to help recoup money by selling stuff of value. Made $140 in sales and I was able to keep a Kayak that goes for $800-850 brand new. Everyone's agreed that it can be payment for all the help plus provide a roof until further notice (starting Monday), but I can't stress enough that investing in your future is important and nothing is stopping me now that I have some kind of investing power. While I haven't been able to post much, I am actually still working on multiple posts here and there as I get time.

Your Future is Important

There comes a time when you must consider your future. In my case, I've been considering mine for a long time and I have to say that it's never too late. Had I put up a mere $20 a month back in 2013, by now I would be very crypto-happy (and wealthy). I know what I would be doing and I know I'd have well over $2 million, and it would be amazing to be able to post on my facebook and let my friends know I invested $100,000 on steemit just because I can. That's how serious I am about this platform and the potential it has!

Someone recently told me that I am not financially solvent to invest in my future. I don't agree with that kind of thinking so this week I went with a $200 investment for my future instead of just 50 or less. I wasn't solvent back then and I still could have afforded it and been wealthy today so this time nothing is stopping me. After reading an article this week by @davemccoy about precious metals plunging it reminded me that I had to get something done before the end of the week. All I can think of was "Buy Low". He brings up a good point about getting advice from other people, so you'll want to read up on it!

Banks Close, Crypto Doesn't.

More Silver this Week! Was I a Pirate in a Previous Life?

Of course, before I bought any crypto's, I got yet 3 more ounces of silver, after all, the price of precious metals is down! Not too long ago I paid 16.53 a piece and yesterday I was able to get 15.52 a piece so I am happy to buy-in cheap! Ever since I found the #steemsilvergold community on Steemit, I've convinced myself to get the ball rolling on my silver investments. It's definitely something I've always wanted to do and it feels good to do it! I didn't spend or waste my money, I traded it for something that will always hold value! Same goes for crypto - as long as people believe in technology, then cryptocurrency will always hold value!

While I considered ordering some silver online this time, I wasn't looking forward to the wait so I just went to the small coin shop in downtown Superior owned by an old man. He normally closes between 5 and 5:30 and I didn't walk through the door til 5:22 so I made it just in time. 3 more ounces, in my hands immediately and I didn't have to wait for shipping! Making my collection go from 8 to 11 ounces! My only problem is paying extra because it's a stamped coin and I guess there's a mark-up. Don't quite understand that yet and I'd not pay extra but surely, my coin stack grows larger and larger! I'd like to one day get enough upvotes to cover that fee but even with a 0.20 upvote it covers the fee if steem goes past $15 (and I'm sure it will).

I wonder how long it'll take me to write Steemit with silver coins?

After my silver fix, bitcoin fix and steem fix, I wasn't exactly satisfied because I was trading most of the btc for steem anyways, so I went for an additional 0.54 Litecoins to go with the 0.56 Litecoins that I got on July 13th. (I'm kinda going crazy with it this month) but I suspect another spike sooner or later so I feel I'm definitely getting ahead with this! The Litecoin fix did it, but I'm pretty sure I'll be buying some more this weekend. We'll see how the market moves but I may want to hold off til next week. Just a few months ago 1 litecoin was over $300! This means that it absolutely can go back up to $300 so I am looking forward to it. At the same time, I need prices to stay low so I can be crypto rich like some of you!

Now what am I going to do with all this Steemy Steem I just got for myself?

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing another #steemmonsters giveaway, that's for sure, but I'll definitely be powering up past 500 SP! I always thought I would make it to 500 steem and more through just my earnings alone, but with this new job I just haven't had the time to post, and it doesn't hurt to invest in my future and the future of steem.

Well besides my crypto and silver frenzy and getting free kayaks, I've still been trying to stay active and miss making my daily workout posts so just because I'm not able to post my 100 reps doesn't mean I'm not trying to get them done. I've been considering keeping a short daily log and just making one or two posts a week updating on my workout progress.
I've also got an agate hunting video that I really look forward to posting. Was having codec issues mid-production and I thought my footage was corrupt only to realize I just needed to reboot my PC. So while I'm not as active as I once was, I am always trying to work on my next post with any extra time I have! Stay tuned, more is coming!

Thanks for reading and remember - When it comes to investing, only invest what you're willing to lose! As for me, I like to put my money to work for me so that later, I won't have to work for it!

Steem on!

@bitfiend

When I joined Steemit I made the decision to always Power-Up my earnings. For now, payouts are set to 50/50 but you bet I will convert & Power Up! Besides internal transfers, I have never cashed out and don't plan on it! Power-Up only!
