RE: Calm Down! A Few Thoughts about Investing and the Ups and Downs of the Cryptocurrency Markets
Thanks, and well said!
One of the things I bump into is that this is a whole new paradigm. I talk to people through email and messages and suddenly we live in this world were "long term" is a month or two... and people look at me in complete befuddlement when I say "Errrmmm.... I was thinking more like five YEARS."
Maybe our world is moving so fast now that a five year time horizon has become nonsense. Still, one of the things I said very early on when I first came to Steemit was that I would give it six months to see if it was scammy (it turned out not to be... mostly) and otherwise I was going to park my content here for five years, of which this is barely year one.
The time warp is mind blowing! I certainly hope that in five years Steemit is still around, a bit more user friendly, and certain snags have been cut out...but 5 years is an eternity in cyberland. I remember thinking MySpace was everything...how long did it last (in its original incarnation)...wasn't it about 5 years?
Hey Steemit Gods - don't let this become the myspace of crypto :-P
(and congrats on 1 year!!! - sorry for the stingy upvote, been going a little crazy and need to recharge a bit)
