RE: Time to shill some Steeeeeeem!
My weekly investment into crypto is coming into steem to power up my account. It's not huge, but it's enough to keep my account growing. This investment wouldn't be made if it wasn't for the community.
There are so many people around the world that I have connected with. Have learned their stories and would love to meet them face to face one day. Without this I wouldn't be investing my money or my time. Honestly the earnings don't directly justify the earnings I'm seeing today...but this isn't just about the money.
The Steem blockchain is insanely fast and there is more room for growth which is great, but you are 100% correct it's the community that keeps people holding steem.
Would be great to one day have a meet up. Perhaps when Steem is a little higher than now ;)
Yes this would make it just a bit easier to travel the world! This is why I am working on my 2 year plan right now. Trying to figure out exactly what it would take to travel for 2 years starting in 2 years. Not counting on Steem, but if it could get up to even $5 and increase payouts a little that would help a ton.
I have decided that by the time I'm able to retire it's going to be to later to travel. I'll hopefully have grandkids by then and just can't see myself leaving them until they have grown...by then I'm guessing I'll be to old to travel the world. So been playing with some numbers to try and make it happen now. That and trying to get my Wife to agree to us homeschooling the kids while we travel.
The good thing about that is you don't even need a permanent home. Also, the best teacher is experience. I would love to at least get some time in Australia with our daughter and a healthy Steem price might make that possible but, who knows.
She wants a "home base" which means owning a home. But I have suggested this could be a tiny home. She isn't thrilled with this idea...but working on it.
I don't know what tiny is but we have an apartment that is 80 sq/m = 860 sq/ft. It is enough. It would be nice have one extra room but we could also live in less and survive.
We have 4 of us and a large dog (whole other issue for travel) so space is a concern for her. The tiny houses are typically pretty small, 400 sq/ft range. Not sure if you have seen any of the shipping container homes they build. But my thought would be to go this route. You can lock them up tight while gone for months on end and add onto them down the road fairly easily as long as you plan it correctly.
