I am following your stuff, I do certainly agree there is a lot in income generation through the cryptos, my main expertise is trading them. Steem holders, and hodlers for that matter can buy given amounts, make the trade when they feel it time to pull profits, buy/sell steem/steemdollars, put the steem into sp, and continue their roll with the steemdollars on the upside. Rinse wash and repeat and you are literally playing with house money. I just mention that because there a lot of other people doing that, just not mentioning that is the plan. Minnows are not selling their steem/steem$ to create this fluctuation in prices, that is for sure. The stuff you are talking about is interesting and I am looking into it. I probably sound conservative in my reluctance in diving in head first to to all of this, quite the opposite actually. I have to pump the brakes because I am very much a wildcat investor, finding what I think is truth about the over/undervalued.
I try to diverse my stuff. I been in crypto for a while it took me a while to give up that bitcoin is number 1. 3 years ago i would say hell yeah but now... I still believe in bitcoin. While i like steem i find that crypto that pay you atomically are the best way to profit. I part of the adzbuzz project it really cool.
