I have been on the social media platform that pays you to post now for about 18 months. I have seen some major ups and major downs. I have been following the cryptomarkets and big hitter coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, learning the growth rates and chart patterns as a complete beginner as most everyone else jumping in this new world of digital money. I have seen huge rewards and great potential with blockchain, Steemit and the crypto market.
I am a collaborative artist multi genre singer songwriter and have gained more exposure opportunities and profit rewards off my music in the last year with blockchain than my previous 9 years combined. Steemit was the driving force for this, giving me the opportunity to not only share my previous works with the community but also new projects and gain access to more like minded folks to collaborate with and promote, all while earning cryptocurrency rewards that propelled me further into understanding and developing a relationship with crypto in general.
I was on steemit when the price of Steem was as low as .7 cents and Bitcoin under $1000 dollars. Today, a little over a year later from these lows we sit at another low point, a strong dip in the markets. Steem currently sits at $2.50 and Bitcoin $9000. These prices are low coming off a near $9 and $20000 high in the new year.
Everything dipped in the market last year around this time before it began a steady climb upward sometime in April - May, with of course a few pull backs here and there but onto a massive rise in price. We have been in a cooling down phase for awhile now, but buzz is hot. Bitcoin and Steemit are spreading on what I think is pre viral adaptation levels, I still think that we will see growth far exceeding last years in this current year. Its easy to talk about crypto shooting to the moon when its well on its way, and in verse, easy to think its dying off a slow painful death when its going the other direction. This is brand new, we haven't seen anything close to potential yet as we are still not in adaptation phases, this is all the pre shit and the market is wild. Bitcoin is more and more in the main stream news with positive and negative spins, companies are looking into blockchain and crypto use. Its really incredible to me how I think this is going to change the entire world as we know it.
So why is now a good time to get into the crypto market?
I think we are reaching a bottom here soon for how low Bitcoin is gonna drop for this year, its quite possible it could see a brief spike down to levels around 6k, I think(not even close to an expert here), but the market is so tangled up, back and forth, bulls and bears bloodbath, its gonna be hard to tell. One thing I feel pretty confident on is, those who are looking to get in, your time is coming up. There is a lot of scare out there with whats happening with the economy and banks, a lot of my friends and family are talking about wanting to put some money into crypto. Some of this urge is for health reasons and a non security issue with health insurance and the current mess of the medical system. I have a mother with M.S. who is getting dicked around left and right through the system on all sides and is fearful of her future and she wants to look into getting invested into cryptocurrency possibly by joining steemit and getting to talk about her journey while earning crypto rewards.
Its always darkest before the dawn
I have seen some people in sheer panic over the recents drops and I myself get a little sick sometimes when I see the numbers. Okay seriously all the god damned time... im about to have a heart attack..lol No, but seriously, think the steemit community feels really good, I see so much encouragement and so much of a coming together for people that I dont see anything but a bright future ahead. Our money system is about to change and our social media is about to change, the way we engage online is about to change, is changing, we are in the process now.
I predict with good hope that bitcoin and steem are gonna start going up up up again very soon.
If you want to get involved in crypto currency and are a complete beginner the absolute best way to do it with no money down is to sign up for Steemit.com, create an account and start blogging about whatever it is you do and start reading and upvoting and commenting on others posts.
Short Sum Up
On steemit you get paid in a cryptocurrency called Steem to post, upvote, and comment. Steem can be exchanged for Bitcoin and your bitcoin can be exchanged for fiat currency. Thats real in hands money. Steem and bitcoin are at yearly lows and should be pulling up soon, it may be the time to start considering your entry point. I just feel really strongly ya'll do this now, you will be thanking me in December with a huge smile....
The 1 year chart for bitcoin
The price of bitcoin was one of the biggest Wall Street stories of 2017. At one point, the digital currency surged more than 1,900 percent. On Jan. 1, 2017, the price of bitcoin passed $1,000 for the first time on CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index since early January 2014. On Jan. 1, 2018, the price of bitcoin was about $13,286.
We are getting ready for round 2 in my humble opinion.
Join me on steemit start posting and earning, even if its something to have set aside for the future for the hell of it.

Steem and cryptos have hit a low. True. IT is a great time to get into steeem. The stock market and cryptos parallel each other. In other words when cryptos go up the stock market goes up. There are exceptions as the stock market and now bitcoin futures are manipulated. But Yes I believe in the dream and I believe in steeem as long as you are not scammed and hacked as many of us have been here. I still believe and believe Steem will rise again and even higher. Thanks @soundlegion.

I quite agree with the words you express, it is important to consider the new generation of cryptocoin that will be generated by the nations and many have announced and others have already begun with its issuance. In some ways they will have their impact on these that are decentralized and without backup, which we still do not know if they will be positive or negative about their value. Very good article thanks for sharing.

how good to read you It. is a hopeful one at the same time that manages to calm the turbid waters ... of a fickle market. Many times we need, those who know less about this crypto-reality, we feel fearful about the time we are dedicating to space and the results we are getting. Read you, I insist, fills me with good calm and beautiful hope. Thanks, @soundlegion

I'm tired of seeing trade analysts with positive pronostics followed by their apologies for not being realistic a week later, or explaining to the people who follow them why the chart didn't followed their genious pronostics. Every trade analyst, the good ones and the mediocre ones write at least once a week "bull-shit coin is going to the moon and beyond!" and no matter what, it doesn't happens, at least not as often as they say, not even a 10% of the times, and all of those few coins wich prices went "to the moon" also returned down to earth very quick.
So, what is it all about?
I think we should be interested in crypto currencies and blockchain because of technical and social reason, not because we will be rich in a fast an easy way. Teach your mom to make a token, to use a wallet, to join an ICO and feel good about it.
Max Keiser says a lot of things, i like a lot his poetic rambling, but i like most his anger, but even he seems to be wrong too with his positive view. Nevertheless i think that markets are not being nice to any pronostic because they are quite often manipulated by whales (those with the biggest amount of one coin), and the plancton (us) can't do much more than fell good for being eaten in the ocean.
The only way to get out of poverty for a poor person is designing an alternative cultural path in wich the words sell, buy, money and bank doesn't exists, not even blockchain should survive if we as a kind want to survive.
If not we will die poor, no matter bitcoin rises up to one million.

I sense a little hostility and frustration in you with that but at the same time I think you offer some really good points to consider. This is all brand new and a learning process lots of things seem to be changing around it and speculation is of course a big thing. Least it pulls discussion and wide range of thought, thats pretty cool to see.

You are right! I´m getting my ass whooped in binance with ADA and GVT. But i really think that money is the worst thing ever happened to us, we all should be growing food. Thanks for reading my angry comment and not taking it personal.

honestly my friend I def see your point. I am with you on the whole growing food thing, think you thinking expanded and farther down the line, there is a huge frustration in me as well that we are not at this point already, so much suffering that doesnt need to be, we have all the tools but fall under manipulation so easily still, money is def something I think our society could do without, a cashless ubuntu or venus project type society. I actually think in the long run cryptocurrenty will open the doors for more freedoms that could eventually lead to such things, first step possibly and seemingly understood in the crypto world is to get governments out of the way.

A friend of mine says we doesn´t need more development, more growth, more knowledge; what we need is a paralel way. To think about the house that can´t be purchased or selled, the other food, the other way to transport us. We lack for a plan to achieve it, and we were planifyed hundreds of years ago by the sponsors of idealistic humanism and its economical/productive arm, capitalism. A ruling concept like humanism can disappear only after being replaced by other concept, and is our job to think about that other concept, as you say, it surely can be like ubuntu, my friend says the economical/productive arm of that concept, name it ubuntu or the way you want it, must be the "conuco". Sooner or later i will translate some of his books, we are from venezuela and he writes in spanish.
I´m frustrated because it seems almost impossible to think and to make a plan towards that ubuntu-conuco, not to say making it, we all are just feeding humanism with every word we write. And i think you are right about the blockchain, but the real thread on us are not the national states, the corporations and the world owners are.
Again, thanks, this is the best welcome i could have here.

Definitely optimistic about btc and steem. But we need to see an upward move soon. I've become poor buying all the dips. This is the last dip I will be buying in now. Then I'll just HODL and wait for year end.

I think this is a good lesson for people who are thinking of investing rather than trading... it is important to understand the fundamentals and hold when investing. Something that 50 cents the artist found out the hard way: http://fortune.com/2018/02/26/50-cent-bitcoin-millionaire/
