Did the Bear change how you see Steem?

in #crypto6 years ago (edited)


The fun thing about crypto is, especially for those who claim themselves as a Holder(like myself), no matter how firm and tough they think will hodl and buy low in the big bearish market, the market will keep challenging them with new downturns.

Steem for the first has been crashed lower than my initial entry point which was around $0.9 ~ $1.0 one year ago. I thought I will never see the same price again when we were on our way to the moon last Dec. But yeah, I guess crashing 90% of the holdings one of the paths that everyone must go through. Regretted not so sell some to keep the profit while everything is raging, regretted throwing BTC for some random shitcoin ICO.

But Steem is an exception

I still have no idea why this awesome project doesn't get much traction at the price while it's community and activity on the chain would probably be greater than all the higher ranks coins combined.

It came out as a social media platform but has transformed into something which is bigger than that. You can do tons of things without blogging and posting comments at all and experience the advantages of the tech.

Feeless, 3s transaction, and the freaking part are, the community is developing new Dapps on the network like they are working for the Steemit.inc but they are not. Some are doing it for personal profit, some are purely for the welfare of the ecosystem. This speciality alone is making Steem so much more superior to many other competitors and it is one of the biggest reasons I still have much faith in it.

Is the ultra-bearish market change how you view the Steem?


加密货币真的是个很有趣的东西,当你自称 Hodler 无论如何不会放手时,就会不断地用新低来挑战你的底线。就譬如我们亲爱的 Steem,已经突破了我一年前进场时的 $0.9,往着零的方向义无反顾地掉落。但是,尽管充满了各种高位不知知进退放手获利的遗憾,和胡乱投资不知所云的 ICO 的后悔,Steem 依然是我最钟爱的最有信心的货币之一,尽管在如此低迷的市场。各种优势就不必再赘述了,无手续费,3秒出块,更绝的是还有一大块自觉热心的社区不断地为平台创造工具和应用,为公为私都有,简直是目不暇给,这也是其他同类项目所比不上的。

如此低迷的熊市有没有颠覆你当初对 Steem 的看法呢?

Sort:  

Fully agree with the gist of your post, and I also am a "HODLER" even in times of trouble, which could also be interpreted as times of "BIG SALE" depends on your perspective I guess, but i am slowly just trying to get more steem all the time, and as you said there are ways of getting @steem without spending any money as such - just a bit of time.

I do believe fully in @STEEM and @steepshot (love this platform) and @dlive use cases and I know it is but a matter of time before it really takes off with the general public.

I think we have only just touched the tip of the iceberg with regards to adoption. and probably due to the one fact that people may not even know that these platforms exists. and once they do we should see significant growth, and start to realise real profits.

My 2 cents :-)

thanks for post
Have a great day.

Yeah those platform would be going places if only Steem the mother platform itself could be recognized by the masses. Until then, we the believers should find our ways to accumulate more coins. Who knows what is going to happen next right?

Indeed, while the masses are not in here, it is a good time to stock up and build relationships of mutual rewards so we will be ahead of the game when it does happen.

I tell all my family the same thing, that being you are posting on facebook and instagram, youtube anyway you might as well use @steemit, @steepshot, and @dlive and make some pennies :-)

Happy steemsteepdilive-ing

Well said.

The Steem Blockchain has unlimited possibilities, if we start using the Steem as a daily payment tool like a fiat currency, Steem will get the importance it deserves.

We just have to develop a dapp to do it instantly.

Well said. Adoption is what we need now. Speaking of dapps, you are developing one right?

说真的我还真的快充值了。

I believe in the platform and no matter what happen I will be here and keep sharing content

That is one hell of a hardcore shoutout I've ever heard in a while. Good luck to us!

No, Steem is a "regular" cryptocurrency after all, as I previously thought

Posted using Partiko Android

Interesting, by 'regular' I suppose you were saying it has nothing special compared to its competitors or the other similar ranking coins?

Erm, just my personal classification.

I deem bitcoin, ETH, litecoin, Steem, Bitcoin Cash, Augur(REP), Monero and other coins/tokens with big market capitalisation and/or relative ease of access as "regular".

Others are "irregular".

Ah, got it. IMO Steem might be a little more special than those base on the points I stated in the article. The community is simply the factor make us stands out so far.

Well, I would say yes and no.

Steem is special because it's involved in the so called "attention economy" (in layman's term: get paid for creating entertaining contents, be it article, video or music). So there is indeed some "inherent" value in Steem as a token of "entertaining / attention catching contents".

But then the value of Steem, like all cryptocurrencies, is subjected to speculation because it is tradable on exchanges.

Speaking of speculation basis, which coin isn't? Maybe some thing won the bigger crowd might ended up with higher winning chances over the speculation game.

Nice and refreshing read!
