Good day Steemian and welcome to today's Steem price update for 23/12/2021.
I have been posting the Steem price update since almost the very beginning of Steemit.com back in 2016 along with other content.
Many have came here to discuss the daily Steem price's and recent STEEM changes for over 5 years.

If you tire of addictively looking at the charts every few minutes then instead just relax and look here for the average STEEM price for your daily plan or strategy.
And even if you are not planning to do anything with your STEEM I still recommend checking out these updates every so often.
So without further ado lets take a look at today's Daily Steem Price for 23/12/2021.

Should you be trading with STEEM today...?

You probably noticed that the price of Steem did drop suddenly by a large amount by it's standards, we then looked at Bitcoins and we can see they had a pretty big drop. Previous times Steem done well to not be effected by the movements of Bitcoin but as it fell this time we were not so lucky. However certain movements do make it easier for reaching our target, but we do have to keep in mind of course that SBD's also took a hit. Luckily they did recover, not as much as I was hoping for I admit, but when comparing and taking a look at Bitcoins I guess SBDs were about where they should be. With Steem being sold for cheaper I have definitely already seen a increase on how much Steem I was able to get for my money, and so I got a little extra here and there and will hopefully continue to do so for a little longer. Still with some recent recovery from Bitcoins we can see Steem going up already. As for the weather it's remained very cold these past few days after being so shockingly mild yet today I have to admit it wasn't as icy cold when comparing it to yesterday. I put on a extra layer but probably would of been alright without it. The problem I spoke about not receiving messages from a particular friend still continues but it got alot worse I began to not receive any messages from friends unless they are relatively close to me. It's very odd and so when I get time I will look into what are some possible reasons and fixes and is nothing works I guess it's time to get another phone. I really didn't want to because the phone itself still looks almost new and works generally well. The plan was to speak with someone within branch but to be honest I didn't have high hopes as those people are just interested in one thing "selling you something" and they fob everybody else. To make matters even worse I'm banned from WhatsApp without a warning or reason, this is frustrating as it was a good way to communicate with far away family and some friends. Today I had work for the afternoon shift which I was glad about because I got in late yesterday night, but this doesn't mean I went to sleep later then usual "this is actually because Steemit was down". I'm not sure why Steemit was not working but perhaps it would of worked on another front end, what I do know is when I wrote my post I couldn't get it actually posted. Anyway when I got in work today it was very odd as there was a ton of work coming in for my department but yet the strange thing is the superiors decided today to put me somewhere else but what was really messed up was that I was completely on my own to get the work done. Now I normally don't mind this but not on another department this was extremely stupid because it was impossible for it to be done as one person and in the end I think I won one over on them because I noticed a mistake one my usual department right from the very beginning and warm my colleagues about it. But seems they didn't get the memo and so while most of the work got done it's not been done correctly meaning it's going to take someone a few hours tomorrow to sort it all out. Maybe that will teach them to leave the people who know the job already to get on with it but I doubt it, well it's not my mess to sort out lol. Not only that but soon after I got in they wanted me to stay extra tomorrow for Christmas Eve I told them no, I thought perhaps I should of done so for the extra money but honestly if they were planning on doing again what they done with me today they can go stuff it. Another thing I found surprising was usually they would beg me or others to come in first thing in the morning to continue with it but strangely nobody got asked. Not that I think it's necessary when you think about it but it's just the usual crap they pull on you. Last time on those freezing days at work the last guy to leave remarked on how he was freezing to death, this is because the plant room somehow had a leak and so needs to be aired out or it could cause massive damage. But the problem with this is the large vents inside which with the door open it let's in a ton of cold air "very close to were I work". So while the rest of the building is warm I was freezing but now I'm just glad that the door as now been shut again and the weather as been better, even just writing about it is making me feel cold again. I helped my friend with the rest of their shopping and honestly in the end I think I was a godsend.. well for carrying my friends bags of shopping...lol. I did enjoy the day out had some good food but by the time the presents were dropped and I arrived home it was much later then what I had intended. It's been strangely happening lately that receiving less sleep I feel like I have more energy, it makes no sense but surely it's not healthy to have a lack of sleep. Had a minor flu recently and I mentioned that I sounded different for a few days but all is good now but bizarre really because I was fine until on the very day when we all had to start wearing facemasks again. Now maybe I'm wrong but I honestly feel that's what triggered it as I started to have a dry throat then a splitting headache. Those around me who have nothing against masks admitted to also feeling a dry throat and being more thirsty from wearing one. We have to wear it apparently there is no choice in the matter. If you been reading you probably remember me mentioning about not attending this years Christmas party for various reasons and as I suspected because I heard no mention of it the party as been cancelled due to covid reasons. I'm glad as our boss made it strictly for only who are currently working with us right now. And so it annoyed me that no past or even recent staff are allowed to be there but I feel anyway that there wasn't really much of a reason for me to go this year. I had been invited to another party at a later date, but wasn't sure if that one was still holding but again because of covid it was cancelled which I'm not too bothered about as the detailed were skewed. I was behind this year with some of the Christmas shopping but my friend gave me a great idea pretty last minute for some gifts which I could easily just order from a shop near to me, I was done until I noticed I had left a wrong sized Christmas gift bag. The bag was basically way too big and honestly it would look really weird having a giant bag only for a few small bits so I had to quickly get to the shops to either find a smaller bag or buy something to fill, in the end I sort of done both lol. As for the progress on fitness I feel I lost about %70 of the weight gained by the lockdowns and so have continued to try and shed the weigh off by tracking my step count per-day and doing small daily workouts. I started all this back in mid April and continued until the beginning of October this is when my work schedules began to revert back to normal which makes it too difficult for me to continue. This is unfortunate as it's when I started trying the "hit" way, but with all this extra work I come to the conclusion that had to put it on hold until "New Year" is over. I will of course in the mean time still try to get in a workout, but so far this as not been possible. As for steps I must stress that the app for recording them is no longer working as it should and so I'm losing many steps each day more then half are not being recorded and the conclusion as now come to be that there must be something wrong with my phone and not the app which I must look into when I have time. Regardless we started the week poorly and so having reached a total today of 30k steps, out of the 105k weekly target.

🏅 We reached "🐬🐬QuinTUBLE DOLPHIN🐬🐬" on November 7th which means our collective STEEM POWER is now over 💪25000 SP!! There are around 500 Quintuple Dolphin accounts now and if you remember the previous numbers this means that the actual number of Dolphin accounts as been growing since my journey began between 20k to 25k, this is great news and I guess obvious as the price of Steem as indeed risen since then. So all together we hold around 12mil Steem, you joining us or what? Of course from here we will continue to collect and lock-up even more STEEM! My goal 🌍 is to now reach 30.000 SP🏆, hopefully by the end of June 2022. And so I want to thank everybody who does vote in and for their kind support. I have now been on here for over 5 years and never powered down✔️ not once!! 🚫, I also continue to invest into STEEM with small quantities using my own fiat currency✔️, your votes can help with this also. This essentially means that your votes are safe with me and help to retain STEEM's value, and since now being a "Top 300 Steem-Power Holder" it's beginning to count. Your votes may even help make it go higher in the future with plans for purchasing even more STEEM along the way. Last year on November 24th we totalled 15.000, then on Nov 7th we reached 25.000! And so if you want to help me on this quest for "locking away 30000 Steem Power" with the intention to support and retain more of it's value 👉 then please consider leaving your best vote below.
