RE: Let's Take a Step Back- Concerns about Steemit.
Truly who cares what cryto currencies are doing...
Steemit is here with a social mission, that they pledge to pay us for our efforts, something none of the competition is doing.
So let me focus on building my interests here and let the trash either profit or rot as we build our reputation, networks and social standings...
Personally i had no interest in BTC b4 Steemit, so these newer shadows are of absolutely no interest since they have neither history or a proven value.
Regardless do what you feel you are comfortabe with, because those who are interested in comparing are primarily trading markets speculators; but these crypto currencies are to new to predict.
So people trying to pretend they understand or predict these new currencies are as delusional as people who trade Gold in ounces when countries trade gold in tons, but think of themselves as experts or market makers; the answer avoid closing your mind in the casino and betting on the roulette wheel and expecting to win.
After all there are always those who believe in 'get rich quick schemes', but always better to try and avoid real effort by a crafted marketing schemes...
Indeed. Very good points, you bring up. I'm totally with you in that Steemit is bringing many new people into even caring about cryptocurrency, so there is no way to knock it for that. I'm, for one, very grateful. However, steemit seems to be having difficulty keeping up with the rate of incoming users, and 12,300 users, or so, is not very much.
However, let's just invest, as you say, in what we feel comfortable in. This is totally indeed just a giant roulette table, but there will be quite a few options for winning, perhaps :)
Cheers, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. You bring up very good points, crok.
