RE: What I Would Do With 1,000 STEEM
Buying at the right time is such a chore. I derive little satisfaction from trying to figure it out. After I've done it, I might feel some relief and satisfaction, until another dip comes along. Then, I might feel bad again.
I ended up basically putting in as much as I could for now, which I hope will be enough to be somewhat meaningful down the road. If it makes a drop again under $2 USD, then I'll have to give it a hard and fast look. Otherwise, I'm holding onto STEEM and I'm holding onto USD (which I really don't have anyway).
You guys are coming in at the best time. Most young marrieds aren't even thinking along the lines of investing or saving, let alone doing it in crypto. So just having the mindset puts you ahead. Now it's just a matter of having the time to grow it, and time seems to be in short supply when there's the wife, the school, the job, the sleep, and whatever else might take you away from here.
Still, I would've loved to have something like this 25 years ago. I may have actually convinced my wife more then about me doing this, too. :)
