I agree with everything you said in this video. I have been making content on steem for 8 months now and it is only within the last month that I really started making any sort of money really. The first 5 months I was getting .049 payouts and shit, and I didnt care, because it wasnt about the money, I was creating for myself. the fact that I made any money at all was a blessing, because i knew with youtube I wouldnt make shit.

I never bought steem using USD. But now that we have hit below the dollar mark I have been heavily considering. I agree with your prediction of lowier steem, primarily becasue I beleive we will see lower BTC price, and BTC is king. I think anything in the .75 range I will definitely be going in with my first USD purchase of steem, with the sole purpose of powering up to steem power. I will never sell my steem power. it is a personal investment in the platform for all of my hard work (and allows me to make more and give other people more money in the future). hope youre doing well!
