RE: How to improve the Steemmonsters reward system? (Poll + Small Giveaway #3)
I truly am puzzled by how the game with bring in new players and keep them
These last couple of days, I've been following up on discussions in the SM Discord server, and apparently aggy is getting what he initially wanted. Blockchain gamers looking for new games and bumping into Steemmonsters. They check it out, and buy hundreds, no thousands of booster packs at once. Those were the people he was targeting all along, and now he seems to be getting it.
I'm struggling with the exact same thing: when will be the right time to get out, and will I be too late? (Probably, as I always am.) I wnt to keep my main account, but I'm going back and forth about the other one.
The problem is I'm having the same thoughts about Steem.... No way I can take out profits - the price is too low for that - but how to minimize the damage...
I think it's only one person actually but he's bought so many I wonder whether in the "normal" world he would be considered to have a monopoly. I'm not sure how such things work but is it's never helpful for a single person to have a strong dominating influence.
Maybe his stake is no bigger than the whales already present.
I suppose that's the nature of being on the cutting edge. It's always a bit of a gamble. Get it right and you can make a fortune and vice versa. I've only invested money I can afford to lose so far but I've invested an awful lot of time! 😁
I still have faith in Steem. Not the blogging aspect but the blockchain generally. So I'm hoping BTC will drop a bit again and then I'll buy some more.
I'm tempted to invest more in SM but I'm holding back whilst the future plans are unclear. They like to play their cards close to their chest that's for sure!
I'm confused.... You'll buy BTC or Steem?
Or you buy BTC to buy Steem with?
Last case scenario, isn't BTC like the worst option to buy other crypto with? (It used to be like that, but since I have found out I can buy Steem straight from fiat, I haven't checked anymore)
I use BTC to buy Steem because it worked out a better deal than buying Euros first. You can't buy directly with Sterling. But I haven't checked that recently.
I won't use BTC again though because it takes so long. I bought a bit this morning and more than 8 hours later I'm still waiting for it to show up in Blocktrades.
Last time I used LTC but the price was holding better than BTC this morning. But, knowing me, I probably got the maths wrong anyway and . . . I learned today that the fees are more expensive than for LTC or ETH. I had no idea. I thought the were all the same.
All of this is still a minefield for me. Trading of any kind really isn't my game.
If only I could buy Steem with Sterling, things would be so much easier.
That was why I asked. BTC is like the slowest and most expensive way to go. But then again... I only know because I've messed around with it in the past.
I know being able to buy steem with Euros has made life a lot easier... maybe too easy. Since I don't have to go through all the hassle of exchanging anymore, i've been spending way too much 😉
