RE: What is your staking strategy for steem?
Dear @achim03
Indeed, the worst part is just ahead of us. Virus will probably start spreading faster than ever before. At least in majority of european countries (since most are becoming more and more relaxed with restrictions). Not to mention economy, which will suffer greatly as well. Shitstorm is comming.
Will the whole world resemble Venezuela?
Venezuela will always be one of the worst examples out there. Luckily there isn't many other countries with such an imbalanced economy. Countries which went into bed with China (which actually was in my opinion one of main reasons for their current economic collapse).
There is a long way to go for any country out there to end up in similar situation as Venezuela is today. Hope I'm not wrong :)
Author rewards manage to make your account grow and I believe that it is important not to take all the earnings away from the platform
And I started to believe, that it's important to focus on supporting with upvotes those who do not take all the earnings away from the platform. Wouldn't you agree on that?
Steem offers one of the best ROI for your investment. So my aim is to increase my steem power and to post regularly.
Way to go! :)
Interesting read. Upvoted already

Hi Piotr,
Thanks a lot for your comment and the upvote.
I believe that this is a very good approach. If we support people that just plan to cash out immediately, this will have a negative effect on steem and the ecosystem. It is in the interests of the steem holders that steem is powered up as much as possible. To guarantee stable prices but also to be able to "build" up users in the long term. If our friends become more powerful in terms of steem power, we all profit in the long term!
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Achim
It's inevitable that we won't cash in on what we get from the posts at once. The situation we are living in does not make it possible, however, I suppose that is why effective measures have been taken to save a part as SP that helps us to better understand the situation in the long term.
Many times I have wanted to hold my cryptos, but unfortunately, this is a never-ending struggle that gets more complicated every day.
It's not intentional, it's just survival
I totally understand this and I hope better days will come where you can actually put something aside for the future.
Best regards,
Achim
Wow! Man! Actually you are the first person I have seen who says that. I believe that those who survive this pandemic develop immunity or at least more awareness to avoid becoming contaminated again. So I don't think this disease is going to develop any more problems. Thus I don't think this disease is going to develop any more problems. Maybe a new virus will appear, but I assure you that many countries will already know how to deal with this type of situation with the experience acquired previously.
Obviously, the economic recession will be a big blow to the economy, but it's something that can be overcome if we compare it to the ineffectiveness of death.
Hi @jadams2k18
You're very optimistic, aren't you? :)
Let's look at current state of things. Almost all countries struggle with lack of test kits. People who want to get tested are often send back homes. Because of lack of those test kits (not to mention how expensive are those).
Imagine if vaccine would be found. Most likely in US or europe. Very unlikely in China (they do not even have enough patients to conduct tests and there isn't much pressure to work on vaccine).
So let's say that some western coutry developed vaccine. How long will it take for less developed and wealthy countries to get an access to that vaccine? Months? Year? Two years?
I fully agree with you.
Yours, Piotr
Buddy. Let me tell you a true story. As is well known, many Venezuelans left the country in search of better jobs and better living conditions. This is the case of a friend who went to Spain. She works in a grocery store (even though she is a professional with a university degree, etc, that is another story). Then, because of the problem of the epidemic, she had to work many more hours to meet the demand of people obsessed with the end of the world. Well, she got sick. It was obvious, the stress plus the contact with hundreds of people every day, the perfect probability of getting it. Obviously she had the disease, she presented all the symptoms, even the one of losing her sense of smell, etc.
It was a hard illness and it is even harder when you know that you have a high probability of dying and that there are no medicines to solve it, especially if you are a suggestible person. Thank God (you know I do believe in God) she got better and no longer has any symptoms. But it wasn't until she had no symptoms that she was allowed to take the test. She took the test on Thursday and the result was given on Monday afternoon. What kind of test is that? And what kind of test result can you get five days later? That you had coronavirus (and died)? That you didn't have coronavirus at the time but you're not sure you could have gotten it any other day before you got the result?
By the way, the test was negative. Really!!!???
She's much better, she's on bed rest for another 15 days by medical order. So she doesn't have to go back to work yet. I guess she must be getting some compensation. I'll ask her about it in due course.
I ask you: are the tests reliable?
The vaccines. That's a different matter, flour from another bag, as we say here. That will be the holy grail for those who patent it.
Another question: are vaccines meant to remove disease or to prevent it? I'm not clear about that. If you already have the disease or are a carrier of the disease, the vaccine takes the disease away or it is only for people who do not have the disease.
Dear @jadams2k18
What an amazing comment. Seriously love it. Thank you for sharing this story with me.
I've finally managed to catch up with old comments. Thx for yours.
It surely must be difficult to be in such a position.
Have a great sunday ahead,
Yours, Piotr
Thank you. I'm catching up with old comments too ;)
