You love the platform right?
You love the technology?
You went to steemfest and loved the community?
Yes, across the board right?
I’ve seen a bunch of people invest in steem recently and that makes me happy because I remember what it was like when steem was $0.15 and we just all invested in it with what we had, I had nothing and built up the steem power I have from pretty much scratch and I’ve powered down a bunch, I’m still here, because, it’s become my blogging home, certainly beats checking email in the mornings!
I think November and December are good times to put all that love into this blockchain so we can all ride out the crypto winter and get to a place where the content quality goes up, the projects build to a crescendo and then we all finally arrive at a wonderful place together in the middle of summer next year, I mean really, it’s six months, why not double down and go all in anyway?
And I don’t mean that term like FULL STEEMIAN or FULL YOUTUBER because i find that a little silly if i'm honest, always have a spread/diverse online profile of how you utilize your time and what for -- right now i'm looking at stacking my residuals and FIAT income and where i can convert some to steem because even at this price much higher than the lowers i remember it's still an absolute steal, like, if you use the platform, you should have some value in there right?
can’t wait, to delegate in 2019.
There are so many projects on this blockchain now that I’m like, I love that team, I love the people behind it, I love what they are putting out, what additional data they give me, it’s really really matured from just a year ago, the cascade and snowball effect has been really real, so many people coming and staying here because of the people they have met.
give the gift that keeps giving
Buy your friends, loved ones, people at work some steem, a number of steemians are bringing out courses, I’ve already got a few on skillshare and I’ll be improving those in the months to come and I’ve got a MUCH bigger course in the works that I should have up by the new year that I’m going to promote using the ‘socials’ — if you know what your doing that can be incredible cheap to do.
Seriously, what’s dropping $100 on steem at this price to potentially have that jump back over a few bucks per steem in the new year, I mean, if I wanted to move blogging host and I never wanted to pay for wordpress hosting for another year that would be my move — spend the money on some steem power, get a nice frontend from one of the many places that have steem powered blog now and your good to go.
Not only will you have saved yourself that wordpress yearly hosting bill but you can redirect your url to your steem blog and potentially be earning in the next twelve months — heck, I’d go as far to say that if your a regular blogger your blog could actually make your money for the first time in your wordpress life, I know 30% of the worlds bloggers are using that platform and I’d really be interested to know how many make any money from them.
zigging while everyone zags.
what goes down, will eventually go up, you can’t ignore this technology, it’s not going anywhere, it’s another way, it’s an adaption of the way we want or frequent our world — once you start to use these different crypto tools, work with the wallets, send and receive, instantly pretty much with no middle man, when you convert your words and visuals into dollars and cents for the first time you’ll realise that you’ve entered a new world of opportunity.
This is not some ICO that will be released in a five year plan, most of those died a death anyway because they just PUMPED your expectations and DUMPED you when things got shitty on the markets — the steem blockchain is here today, working, battle tested over the last few years and it’s not even breaking a sweat doing it — in fact, it’s gonna be rolling out code in the middle of next year that will allow anyone with an idea, company or movement to make their own token, it’s literally just getting started.
you can still get in on the ground floor
In fact, the ground floor is more tidy now than it ever has been, we have different frontends, people who have stayed through the massive dips and hard fork downtimes, the people that come back because to them this is home and their continued support is going way passed keeping the lights on, it’s actually spawning more creative approaches and lean thinking to how to improve and keep those minds here, those people who want to debate and shape a future together using blockchain technology.
I’m not leaving, even if the price was $0.00
And that should speak volumes to you, when you find a place in the digital web that feels like home, where you find people you identify with or you care about virtually, you stay, you make it work, you contribute, you give back, you give your time, you reinforce and support the people who you trust to shape things that encourage and build up, not strip down and devalue.
Crypto here in the steem blockchain is way more than the sum of the cost of the steem, it’s the connections, the bindings and the glue of the social conduit that it enables, people have got cosy and comfortable with the platform, it’s spawned excitement and regulars, people have built audiences here and connected with like minded people and share information in real time about the world around them, it’s the social media that should have been.
so what I’m saying is. ..
. .. it’s never too late to start on the steem blockchain, you don’t need a lot, just consider what web bills you pay out now, trim the fat, adjust your social footprint and learn about crypto at the same time — the age of centralised platforms is coming to an end and it’s gonna have massive effects on the people that have gone ALL IN on those technologies intwined with their hopes and dreams.
We are gonna see potentially massive fall out with article 13 in Europe as early as January 2019 and I have no doubt in my mind that we will start to see the focus after that directed onto the blockchain just like steem, it’s gonna be a battle, it’s gonna be back and forth and hey we might end up hosting all the witnesses out of a garage space in liberland but the steem blockchain will go on.
It’s never too late to join an organically evolving and growing community that want to do things in another way — you can do it too, you can get a FREE steem account over on steemhunt — just click top right corner, use a mobile number you can verify via text and get that account powered up with some steem.
. .. if you need help, just drop me a message and I’ll try and help you get started, if you already have crypto, maybe some bitcoin or similar, don’t panic in this downward spiral, reposition maybe and start exploring a blogging future here on steemit instead?

Can't say anything fairer than your last comment on the comparison of spending $100 on a night out (and what that converts to!) compared to investing in STEEM - now that should be financial advice!!! ;)
