RE: Why do you want the price to go up?
Honestly? I want the price to remain low for a bit longer. Simply because I want to buy more of it. It's currently been jumping around 35-40cents in AUD. I'm greedy and wish it was back at 12cents USD / 22cents AUD so I can acquire just a bit more.
GREEDY! Butttttt... I don't think greedy in the way you're talking about?
I joined the blockchain when it was at $5 USD or so. And I remember being absolutely elated when one of my posts hit $106. I didn't cash out. Have never cashed out. But it is nice knowing that something I wrote hit the $100 mark. That's always a good feeling for anyone I imagine.
If the price was to get back to that height... ... ... I've gathered a fair chunk of Power over the past year. Seeing it worth around $40,000AUD would be pretty damned tempting to cash it out. That's a whole year's salary for my low-class self!
Either way. shrug. I'm here regardless of the price. I like it here. :)
Blah blah blah -- came for the money, stayed for other things. The usual thing people say. But it's true.
Anyway. After all of this babbling:
Is it so you can cash out more $? Is it so that Steem Blockchain gets the deserved recognition?
Both.
Don't know if I will cash out. It would be nice and would be highly helpful. It would be nice to be able to consider doing this as a decently paid side-job. And it'll also be nice to see the 'chain get the recognition it deserves.
I know the feeling as we think same a bit.
For me, it is tempting to cash out a bit but also it is more tempting to see the heights this blockchain can have and can make impact on other people's lives.
Steem on.
