I haven't logged into Steemit for a while!
When I started with Steemit, I invested approximately $700 into purchasing Steem Power. I'm a firm believer that one has to invest a little, to earn!
I took the time to create some content and tried to promote my posts but things didn't really move that far. Honestly, I got a bit discouraged with the platform as I realized that it's full of bots and tricks to boost your posts and then I realised that it's not all about quality content.
Given my busy day job, my other side projects, getting married, I didn't want to go down this path of learning how different bots work, so I decided to leave the platform and focus on more important things.
Today, I logged in for the first time in a while and was amazed to see that my "Estimated Account Value = $2290".
SBD has risen three-fold, since when I bought in and albeit that isn't as much growth as other altcoins have seen, it's still a nice surprise. :)
I'm powering down now. I don't know if I'm going to keep posting and give Steemit another shot, or if i'm going to just cash out on my little investment and move onto bigger & better things!
