Forgetting the FUD in favor of #SPUD2 (Steem Power Up Day 2)!
A couple months ago, I did a post about how I put my money where my blog is, and took the financial leap into investing into it - specifically by purchasing some Steem for my blockchain blog (which is essentially a mirror of my WordPress blog). I'd been hearing all sorts of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), but I knew in my gut it was something I wouldn't regret doing.
Not too long after that, hubby & I talked about investing a bit more, but we're a family of five living off of one paycheck, there's really no such thing as, "spare cash." However, we agreed that it would be a worthwhile thing to do.
Around that same time, I was seeing posts on Steem about an initiative by @streetstyle, called the Steem Power Up Day or, #SPUD. I decided it was a sign, and joined in by purchasing, then powering up, 276 Steem (at a cost of about $100 USD). While I didn't post about it on my WordPress blog (I believe it was being wonky at the time, and got stuck in "maintenance mode") you can see all the deets on my Steem post HERE.
The May 1st imitative was a great success, so @streetstyle is doing it again - check out his post for all the details about #SPUD2 for June 1st.
Long story short (and actually for me, this is short... 😂 ), I'm doing it again. And freaking out a bit because as I said, $100 is not pocket change for us. However, I truly believe in this platform, and I see buying Steem cryptocurrency as an investment better than any fiat stock. In fact, being part of the Steem community means I actually now understand what fiat means! Who knew that starting a cryptoblog would lead to such an awesome financial education?!
Be sure to watch this space on June 1st for my official I SPENT MORE MONIES ON CRYPTO blog.
Oh, and to my readers and WordPress friends who aren't familiar with Steemit (one of many social apps built on the Steem blockchain & the one I primarily use to blog) or the cryptocurrency called Steem, please feel free to ask me questions! I promise you, it's not a pyramid scheme, or cult, or anything. In fact, the only reward I would get for bringing someone over to the crypto side would be the ability to interact with you on a platform where your "like" "heart" "upvote" thingy actually has monetary value.
#Steem to the moon!

I've been powering up the @phctop3 account if that counts?! Anything I get is going straight in to that with SBI shares to reward others who get involved in the contest we started with @foxyspirit, @cheese4ead and @plantstoplanks! I'm obviously powering up the SP from the remaining 50/50 rewards anyway.
Glad you're around GIF Girl!
Fud is for the birds. Let’s focus on Spud lol
Love to see the commitment for the STEEM blockchain. I know your decision to more STEEM will turn out a good thing for you. When you don't have a lot of money to throw around (most of us) then investing it wisely it soooo important.
Thanks for this @traciyork - I have powered up today - was planning to do it a while ago. Can't tomorrow as I'm not going to get a chance.
It's funny that I haven't come across FUD and what it means until I see your post.
You have a very good point about forgetting FUD. It can hamper all.possible successes and opportunities so yes, be brave to take risk and invest. 😊👍
Super love your love and dedication for this blockchain, my lady. ❤️ A few might criticise and try to spread rumors, but because of people like you, the bloakchain will be a giant! =)
Hope Steem goes to 100!!!
Good job on powering up... as long as the witnesses are still online, and there are people using the chain... there will always be a place here. I wonder how things will move up as we get more cross-chain interoperability, will that make STEEM better or worse? Well, like many others here, I'm watching out for the EOS annoucement with a touch of nerves!
Congratulations on choosing to invest in Steem and thanks for the optimistic attitude! Helps many.
