I pretty much explained why in the rest of the post. I very much believe that Steem will grow by leaps and bounds. No risk, no reward they say. Also if I were to lose all of this investment it won't change my life much. I'm fortunate to have a good, stable job and some other investments that could pay off as well.

People probably said the same thing about investing in Bitcoin years back. I missed that boat but not going to miss another one.

Oh I read that part... Im just curious to why would you pull from retirement funds to get more into it... can't you just hustle what you have and get more... or are you going balls deep in the game?

Going balls deep. I'm nowhere near retirement and the relatively small amount of money I have in retirement funds won't get me there. I'd rather lose it making a big bet on a potentially world changing technology than have it sit in a stock index fund earning a few % annual returns.

If I do lose it, then I keep working, save more, and try again. Most successful people I know failed a bunch of times before hitting it big. Now it's my turn to try. Also as I mentioned, this isn't the only investment I'm making.

You just gave me the motivation to play with some... I’ll see how it goes... Thank you my kinda geographically close friend!

I claim no responsibility for what happens!
Unless it goes up a lot :-P

Where are you located?

Standard future:
Goes up -> Thank you for advice friend. Goodbye.
Goes down -> You ***k, what you've made me to do.

I really don't like to give investment advices due to this schema, which has happened to me once time.

There is always risk, no matter what.

I realize the risk. I’m starting with established currencies first... and probably going to do some things on here and obtain steem dollars through a side hustle... and a greater percentage possibly.
