Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)
Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.
First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.

Why is dropping the steem price?
What is the reason?
That is a great question @mominsdt, thank you for asking. The best answer to a complicated question is that it is dropping because the whole cryptocurrency space has gone from being "hot" to "not". In other words, there were a lot of people around the world that tried to get into this kind of investment and all the money rushed in at one time and the price soared. Steem and SBDs were affected by this same factor too.
So because all this "hot" money entered and drove the price up, it appeared that steem was set to go even higher. Well, now that isn't the case. The amount of money coming into the market is dropping, and the amount of money leaving the market is increasing. So there are more sellers than buyers. As a result the prices have to drop to reflect this. And here too, steem and SBDs are also influenced by this trend.
The good news is this is a process that will happen many times. We will go from boom to bust to boom to bust many many times. The smart thing to do is to realize this happens and either 1) ignore it and think long term or 2) if you are going to trade/sell it, then buy low and sell high.
After an 80% drop in price over the last 3 months, we are closer to the lows than the highs. So the good news is the worst is behind us (if you want to see the value of your account higher). The great news is that you will get more SP than ever before. Its the way the system works... So if you plan on being here for the long run, it is actually preferable to see the price drop.
Does this answer your question or would you like to follow up?
You earned a newbie nickel :)
Thanks for the answer.I hope when steem will be more popular, we will not face the problem.
You are welcome and don't worry... in the long run we have some serious upside.. In the next few months though you want it to go lower (you will build your acct faster) ;)
You get your 2nd newbie nickel!
Explain #newbieresteemday a bit more in depth.
I've been thinking of using esteem and dropping my voting power to 10%, so I can upvote more posts and comments I like.
Thanks for filling in.
What would you like to know about #newbieresteemday, I will be happy to answer anything?
Of course you can always use the tags. You do good work so it is a feed that will be seen by those that watch our tag. You won't be eligible for the upvote because you are over 45 in reputation, but you can still be resteemed to all of our followers. There is no cutoff... If you like the cause, then feel free to use the tag always. So there is no cutoff ;)
I think it is a great idea to experiment with different strategies of using your VP. I don't think anyone would be mad, since we are all so small it is basically irrelevant. I do think you will find that using a vote instead of a comment is less productive. Comments build relationships and show respect. A vote is a form of approval, but much less noticeable. But yes learning your strategies is great, I am constantly trying new things... Thats where this newbie nickel came from ;)
This is a post and has nothing to do with anything else.. You can read my other answers and comment or ask more to me here too. I am here to help with any questions you have.
Thanks for the question and you have now earned a newbie nickel :)
