I do have other crypto but not much. I hold small amounts of XRP , AC3 , GENE , FUNFAIR , TRKC , MRK , SPHERE ( SAT ) and BQ.
Some of those I got stuck with during a pump and dump and otheres MRK, SPHERE and GENE I got for free from writing articles for the company that started the coin / token. I watched as my MRK coins went from a value of $500 to $27.
I am not sure if the new update to Steemit will help or not. I suspect like most new things it will take a little adjustment so I would lean towards hurting the price for at least a little while. The taking away rewards is enough to cause a drop in price imo.
It astonishes me how people leave the site when the prize is low. That is the time to stick around as its much easier to attain STEEM / SP. I think allot on here are looking at there wallets on here in the wrong perspective. Don't be focused on the USD value but focus on your Steem / SP increase instead. The time to take notice of USD value is when we moon.
You do have a little variety don't you friend? I do truly wish I knew more about crypto and all the different coins. However I don't and quite frankly and unfortunately I don't really have the time to invest and checking them all out. I just kind of get what I find that is free, other than steem.(I've bought some of it, to help me help others.) And I absolutely agree with this is the best time to be earning. Not only because of the money, but also because with so few people here it's easier to be noticed by those above us. I also agree that the taking away of rewards with the fork will also cause a little dip. I'm going to do my best to reassure people and keep them around so that way they don't leave. I hope it works, but if it doesn't so be it. TO THE MOON FLASH!
I don't know much about crypto either. Most of what I have I got for " free " also by writing articles for new crypto start ups. I got lucky and made $1250 from a coin that got pumped just as I was paid for the articles I wrote and used that to diversify. Most those coins I have are likely shit coins. I have hopes for XRP / AC3 and FunFair.
I do have about $1000 of my own cash invested in FunFair and XRP but I bought in FOMO mode when first entering the crypto market and both have tanked. I paid $2.20 for XRP .. its currently at about $0.50.
From my little experience I think AC3 at current prices is a good value. Over the months of me trying to trade I noticed it normally sat at around 20 - 22 cents and seen it as high as 50 cents. It's currently under 10 cents. I got a buy order for $100 worth at 0.06 cents which is the highest buy order on the exchange I use so hopefully it gets filled.
