Steem has more than doubled since April 1st. From $1.38 to $3.
It would appear that crypto silly season has started again, so for those of you not invested into any currency other than Steem & SBD I suggest expanding your portfolio asap, which might mean taking a few days off to learn how.
Now is the time to invest and watch your money to increase by at least x10 before the end of the year. Once you have a portfolio of 20 decent coins it will be like Christmas every day.
Crypto Courses
My home is open to small groups who are looking to understand the how aspect of above in the glorious setting of the South of France. Just let me know if you want more info on the crypto holiday package.
If you feel like going at it alone, you will find this overview of useful websites very... useful 😃
Steem is not alone
After this long drought many coins are bouncing back to their former glory at an alarming rate.
Here is snapshot of the biggest movers in this moment as listed by coinmarketcap
...and here is that great overview provided by coin360
Substantially different to how the market looked two weeks ago:
Where was STEEM one year ago?
This is a snapshot exactly a year ago at a moment when a prolonged period of growth began, shortly after breaching $0.20.
That's right. Just one short year to increase by over x10
Watch your Steemit wallets grow
With Steem on the rise again you will enjoy seeing the overall value of your wallets increase.
I use the SteemPlus plugin which provides the actual value in the moment (in green) underneath Steemit's 3.5 day average.
Steem Plus
For those of you interested in this plugin it can be downloaded from here
It is a super useful plugin with loads of features which save having to visit other sites.
I will put together a separate article on SteemPlus to highlight exactly what is so great about it.
Final Thoughts
It is an exciting feeling watching the market come alive again and I am reminded that one year ago when Steem was under $0.20 I had nothing at all in the markets. Yet today I have around $15,000 worth of investment in a total of 20 different coins, all of which originated as Steem & SBD. This has been achieved whist living on my crypto earnings and supporting my family of 4.
If I can do it, you can do it too.
Onward & Upward we fly together!

It is great to learn that most of the coins are finally waking up!
You know it!
Hello hello, I'd love to do the south of France thing, just for the experience. I spend enough time pondering about crypto.
You must! In this region we are so close to both the sea and the mountains. And the way of life is quite different to anywhere else I've lived.
Also... all the fruit growing everywhere is like paradise for me!
Please get in touch if you make it here. Happy to give you a little tour ;)
Why, thank you. One never knows...
More INspiring info. Thank you. Happy that you are not only "doing it", but sharing with others in the commUNITY 🙏
I literally can't help myself at times I'm just so excited!
After having kids I made a concerted effort to imagine myself in abundance but could never have possibly imagined how it would play out :)
Really a neat way to compare current price with the average feed price of Steem using Steem Plus. Btw, the average period is 3.5 days instead of 7 days.
Ah thanks! Was not aware of that. Seems to move very slow for 3.5 days. Will check that and adjust my post accordingly :)
Now I am looking at it there is so much conflicting information. How did you learn this?
It was stated in the whitepaper or you can simply look at the code to see how
feed_priceis defined. I made a post about how to earn some extra cash playing with the delayed feed_price and made a same mistake as you. That's why I was aware of this parameter which could make a huge difference on payout.Great stuff. I will check your post now ;)
Thanks
Just a tips, the tactic could be reused exactly now as Steem just roared today.
I see what you are talking about now. Personally, I don't enjoy the idea of paying for votes. Even if it is a good time just after a pump. Better to push out the quality Steemit posts and watch them grow day by day ;)
Yep I agree that quality post should be encouraged at all cost and this should be the first rule for this place. I will still try to make full use of this rare chance to maximize my profit by vote-buying. The only thing I can make sure is not to polluting Steem by promoting useless shitposts.
Really do appreciate the historical comparisons. Something I was aware of before but always nice to be "reminded" :) - do you think Steem's 10x rise over the year is due to its individual success as a platform/crypto, or more due to the general tide of all (halfway decent, non-scam) cryptos. Although Steemit has certainly proven its worth until now, I'm still not sure keeping a ton of $ in Steem is the best long term investment compared to other cryptos with a more limited supply. What do you think?
With Steem transfers being the instant and free... and already well ahead of the others in terms of transactions per second I would say long holding a ton of Steem sounds like a fab idea!
No reason at all why we won't potentially see it at $100 within a few years.
If I understand you correctly Sam, when you said this:
It sounds as if you leveraged the post profits (and/or STEEM upside) into purchasing other altcoins? If so, that's a brilliant way to diversify your holdings. I don't know if you bought any STEEM when you started, to "prime the pump." I put a few hundred in late last year, and am about to add more.
That's exactly right. I've earned over 20,000 Steem since i started here and only 1000 of that is still in my Steemit wallet. The rest is in various other altcoins which have all started moving again recently.
In December last year that $15,000 was more like $30,000 but I didn't fully understand the value of stable coins at that point and missed an opportunity to sell high and buy back in low. Next time I'll be ready ;)
You're going to laugh, I looked at your STEEM recently after reading one of your posts and thought "poor Sam, he's down to his last 1000 STEEM." I thought you spent it all on the move and your new French Villa! lol! Good to know you're doing well. :) Now I have to go out and buy more myself before the price pops!
After watching what little I have in etherium do nothing but drop since I bought it, it feels good to watch it go the other way. It isn't much. But it does feel good. Thanks for everything that you do brother. Keep up all your good work and stay strong. Sending you all of my love my good friend. And may our creator bless yous.
I also have some ETH so I completely feel your pain. It's not been a pretty picture but it's bound to come back eventually.
All the best to you!
