Now it is Time to PowerUp
No financial or investment advise, you all know the clause - but with current crypto markets and Steem prize I think it could be a good time to buy Steem and / or PowerUp again. Sure you never know what will happen but I am confident the Steem price will not go down a lot. Maybe wishful thinking - if I would not be as broke as now I would certainly buy some. If the prize remains similar until November 2019 I certainly WILL. I believe in this blockchain simply as of three things:
- A great community
- A fast blockchain
- A wide range of cool DApps
Powering up makes a lot sense as investment as well to support the community by votes even the value has decreased a bit but the new HF system encourages again more manual curation which I will strengthen more and more these days and intense (also) latest from November onwards. The vote value itself depends now on other factors so your vote can be also have a higher impact as before depending on when you vote and who is voting after :-).
I really enjoyed my three years on this blockchain a lot and for the newbies - 95% of the Steem and Steem Power in my Wallet has been generated via postings and curating activity which is kind of cool - I did not invest external fiat a lot so I have nothing to loose (apart from the time, brain and heart I invested here) but even I lose the crypto I have won a lot friends and knowledge paired with wisdom around blockchain and humanity a lot.
Why Powering Up? I trust the ecosystem around Steem - I trust the PEOPLE
I am not a crypto king or tech / dev guy but I have a little bit of instinct what models could work at least having worked in sales, marketing and comms since nearly 25 years. I do BELIEVE Steem and its ecosystem are a game changer in the industry - no matter there is still EOS or other projects people jump on! Not only financially or because of blockchain! No it is at least 65% because of the community, the people drive this as any other business. If you do not have trust in a company as staff or client this company will fail! Therefore I am confident this one here will become / remain a success story!
Advise for Newbies
Actually I do not have advise as I am no legally accepted financial advisor. To be successful here depends on various factors. The network you build, the relations you establish (here Steemfest really deserves a mention as there you can talk to the big guys, the whales and make an impact), the content you provide. As a little dolphin I can only say what I feel is best for me:
