I have been too busy to be on. I have not bought any steem and was going to once I had time. There are new programs out on EOS that are both doing well and not so well. Some companies on blockchain have such great potential and taking off like crazy in price even before the companies "officially" launch. EOS once was at 14.00 I believe 11.00 for sure and after it launched dropped to just over 5.00. If the same happens to these other companies all those who jumped in could lose so much. Yet if it does go you could win big time. How does one know about anything any more? I look at the board of top BP and see so much manipulation with bitfinex. Is steem dropping do to a lack of activity? Due to the bots controlling too much? The difficulty to get up and going for us noobs? Has the low price chased investors elsewhere? Is it due to so many "sister" chains on Steem? So many variables. I would love to understand. Steem is a nice way to earn while sharing info but the truth is so many are here to earn while they share/blog. Is it really worth it with having to learn a new system and trying to get your info out there to get the numbers up to really make it worth your while? Anyway just some thoughts I had when I started and since the low price makes me wonder about why people are really here. The average joe who could benefit from what we want to share, well this program just does not cut it for them.
