RE: A Simple Question To Steem Stakeholders
I was still creeping along, though I was excited to finally be realizing
Some profit from creating and posting.
I shared a video of one of my live performances(YouTube, this was
Before DTube existed). One of my early and still very important
Contacts here in Steemit, brought the video to the attention
Of someone in Curie, and that one post blossomed. I don't
Remember what it ended up being worth, but I think it
Was something like $14.00, in just a matter of hours!
I was ecstatic. Since then, the price of Steem has
Plummeted, my bank net worth went from
$5K+ to several hundred. I was heart
Broken, and I still remain so. I don't
Put nearly as much effort into
Crafting a post as I once did.
And that is a shame. Oh
Well, thanks @steemmatt.
At this point, I've mostly disassociated Steem with $. For $, after I hit 5,000 SP, I'm going to ship some small liquid earnings off for tiny slices of BTC, but that's really it. I've never invested here so I can try to focus on fun and earning it, albeit a hard path. This way, I never have to think much about my account value. The only time I cared about the $, outside of cashing out SBD for USD during its peak a long time ago, was in the scale of rewards I'd earn to see that people appreciated me. Getting $5 or $0.50 isn't going to change my life, but it was a good way to know more people liked my content/I developed a nice following of Steemians.
Either way, we've put in plenty of time for it to be worth more, but I just try to think of this as a Hail Mary miracle for financial gain in the future, a nice surprise if it happens. Thanks for your thoughts.
