Interesting post. I know a user who helped get me on the platform and they powered down just as I was starting out. I totally understand their reasons, but it would have been cool if they had stuck around a little longer to support me :) My goal has always been to save enough to buy a new (used) truck for my wife and I to take camping. I have enough investments in other areas though that I might just leave my Steem alone, let it grow, and then start giving back to others on the platform.
the person who got me into steemit is powering down down, i think its short sighted to sell steem for under 2 dollars, at least hold out for a better price
Yeah when the person that got me in powered down the price was much higher than it is now. Like I said, he had other reasons too and I totally get it. It just would have been cool if he could have thrown some votes my way first :)
