hey @emeraldserpent come check this out, soudns like what you were saying when you mentioned the intuition with looking at charts, and i told you, if you watch the markets and study the charst gets a feel for the pattersna nd whats NORMAL for each coin you can start to exppect certain things you just start to see it like the matrix but you cant predict the futrue you just understand it for what it is lkike teh firts time you may look at a car engine while its working it may not make sense whats g oing on untill you understand all the pieces then it all starts to make more sense. but you still may not know exactly everything about it like what steps a factory does to build each piston etc... you can always go deeper, but for most people we just need to learn some basics and honestly all the otehr detailks will fit in when they come up, theyll be taught as they become relevant otehrwise your just making it seem as complicated as calculus or something LOl finance turns off women and yong people in general, it turns off left brain thinkers i believe, while men who like games love teh challenge of looking at a system and finding out when it becomes gamablem so they can camp in that oien sot that lets them make a bunch of money etc! :D Money is like a riover and your businesses are like Buckets, you gotta go stand out in teh river and fll your buckets up but you dont wanan get swept down th river and drown in debt you gotta keep ur ffeet firm and start with SMAL buckets unill u build ur muscles up to star carrying larger and larger buckets up the river BANK and eventyuialy u get enough wtaer to afford sme hoses and a pump and evenbtual;ly u get so welathy u can AFFORD the machiner and staff to keep ur money syphoning machine on AUTOPILOT and earn PASSIVE INCOME but as we cna see Steempower cots money and to make something like $1000 a month in Stempower youre gonna need to already have something like 10,000 to 15,000 steempower which may cost like $20,000 dollars or so and that can always be seen as an investment you can always power down and sell latermwhen its higher, but if you dont have that much money you cant set up a pump like that unles syou DELEGATE that much which u have to Build ur way up to! like @buildawhale ! ue build hsi way up and up becaue u can make money selling votes or delegateing out to earn liquid Steem from renters which u can tyhen power back up, andthe liquid stem just gets added to the SP u rent out for mroe liquid Steem so u can actually grow an dgrow and grow, and if steem atcually pops back to $8 or mroe oh it will be so nic ei cant wait it will be ever so fun to live on this planet oh yes it will be so so so fun SMTs will make us all so ruch
