I'm not gonna lie, this bear market got me good. I almost shat my pants several times seeing all the value bleed out from my portfolio. I take out some of the value during highs and cover the life costs, but seeing that value drop like this is giving me an irritable bowel syndrome. And these are big numbers lost, specially in Croatia those numbers are a big deal, literally tens of thousands of moneys people work for many years went down the drain.
HODL meme sure doesn't work like intended during bear markets.
It can be tough when you look it that way, but I also know that this is a long term investment in a brand new cryptocurrency market, it will get more crazy before it gets better. I always powered everything up in my first year on Steemit, having that long term end goal puts things into perspective. Every Steem I have had a huge value ups and downs, from 7cents to 8$, down to 1$ again. From a used lambo down to used zastava, from a large apartment to a one room condo with busted pipes. This ride is wild I will tell you that much!
It is not a surprise to have a writing mojo lost during these insane ups and downs.
The way I see the markets right now we are at the bottom, but we could go a little bit lower still, so you better have those fiat wallets ready if you want to invest in Steem. Steem around 1$ is a buy, big things are coming, we just need to stay patient and let the bear exhaust itself. Once the bear loses it's power the next bull run will be interesting.
