RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
Hi Glen
Sorry to hear about this midsummer lull that you feel you are in. I suspect it is in the minds of more than just you, and I don't think you should be hard on yourself at all.
Steeming should be fun and not a chore, posts and comments don't always need to be epic - just enough to keep your eye in while priorities change is fine I think.
Maybe Dave could help with the STEEM buy. If I had any real amount of fiat I'd take a PayPal and help.
I agree it feels much like a case of stepping into the dark to get to the light - my candle is still burning and the budgie hasn't keeled over yet 😊
I agree. I don't need to be hard on myself. I just need to get over it. :)
I appreciate the listening ear, or is it the reading eye? Anyway, having somewhere semi-somewhat-appropriate to comment about what happened last week is helpful. So thank you.
Steem should be enjoyable, but I'm afraid for me at this stage there is always going to be a level of work to it. Complacency and accomplishment don't seem to go together so well when I'm involved, anyway.
If I ever reach epic on either my posts or my comments that will be EPIC in and of itself. :)
I have some fiat set aside. The issue has become being allowed to use it. Coinbase has decided not to use any card, including debit ones (although they say they still do) that has the ability to act as a Visa or Mastercard. So everytime I try to put in a debit card, it's getting rejected.
If using accounts it takes five business days—to load it up in a USD wallet, or to make a straight crypto purchase. Lately, that might not be such a big deal because the value of things have been going sideways or down, but I had this happen to me a while back and it took a month or so before things got back to favorable circumstances.
So, anyway. I'll figure that out, too. It's just dumb that when prices are better, all of sudden the ability to get it goes away. It should be the other way around. Open up when prices are low and then limit as the prices get exorbitant.
No worries :)
I agree with your last point, it's back-to-front for sure.
Hopefully you've got another route in, @davemccoy wrote a post last week some time that the commentators provided some other, potentially cheaper options over Coinbase.
Good luck for tomorrow :)
