Yesterday was probably one of the worst crashes many of us ever had to experience in the cryptosphere. Of course there were more severe ones already but those are just known by the real early birds, which many of us unfortunately don´t belong to.
Anyways that crash made me rethink all my coin holdings as I´m as well guilty to some extend in investing money into coins I don´t know anything about. I just read something on twitter or thought they might be a good investment and bought some. Well today I think very different and am working on restructuring my portfolio a bit. I don´t want to own any coins anymore, in which I don´t believe.
That being said I just powered up some 200 more Steem and will continue to do so with my future earnings as well to increase my stake and the votes I can spread among the community. I definitely believe into a great future of this platform as a social network and a cryptocurrency.
I´m currently sitting on 3000 Steem Power, which is actually worth more than everything else I got on my bank accounts. But I don´t mind to have such high values bound in here as we are not in a bubble and the crypto journey is just about to really begin :)

I powered up a small amount this morning when bitcoin was high. I used some gains I made from Bitconnect to power up.
My crypto portfolio includes 56% in cryptocurrency, 23% in bitconnect, 21% in Steemit.

You should continue to power up your bitconnect earnings as we might see the price soar after the SMT´s go live and the new hard fork gets thousands of new users on board every day ;)

Great to hear mate. I too see the ridiculously large potential in STEEM and am happy to keep accumulating.
The drop has spooked me a bit too and I’m using it as a chance to restructure into a bit more Bitcoin and Litecoin rather than the pure speculative coins I was maybe getting a little carried away with.

Oh I feel you, the spike potential of those speculative coins got me lately as well. It´s nice for the short term of course but I´m definitely rearranging my portfolio a bit towards more solid coins so that I don´t have to worry that much anymore during the next dips :D
Steem is definitely one of the coins I´ll accumulate over the next weeks more and more for sure :)

True. Yesterdays crash made us reflect on what we really doing with our money.

From what I have read about the crash is that it was more of a correction and the price/value went back up today.
That being said, I definitely agree that it is a good idea to head into things with at least a bit of knowledge, especially if one is investing monetarily rather than just upvoting, commenting, and posting.
It is a huge risk either way one looks at it because the markets do fluctuate, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency.
There is no gain without at least a little bit of risk, so taking the risk is a huge step off a long drop with only a hint of an idea where one is going to land.
It says a lot about Steem as a Currency that someone would invest so much into it.
I often wonder which currencies are going to survive the next ten years and how they will look in that time period.
The Dollar is not going to be sticking around, many are going digital, from there it is a logical skip, not a leap or a jump, to cryptocurrency. I believe we are already seeing this and one day the value will not be compared to Dollars or Euros or Yen or whatever National Currency exists in this day and age, but in the crypto itself, from crypto to crypto.
Interesting concept. I will be following you. Thank you.

I actually don´t think that cryptos will take over but they´ll coexist with our todays currencies. We won´t see the huge change happening just within a few years as the current system won´t be replaced this easily.
However it might be a real good idea to invest in coins that could still be around in 10 years. Don´t invest in something you don´t believe in! The weak projects will die sooner or later taking your investment with them...

I'm pretty new to this but I see the potential with the infusion of social network, content as currency and all that. It kind of feels like we're in the middle of nation building. But on the internet. It's own monetary system and currency and citizens and all that. Thinking of social media platforms as "cities".

I've just got my first payout in the last couple of days and have yet to power up. Just as a point of learning, would it have been better to power up before the crash rather than now or doesn't it make any difference?

That´s hard to say. Before the crash the SBD price was above 12$ and you could get about 4 steem per SBD, now it´s just 3. But anyways it´s a good thing to power up at any time as I strongly believe in Steem to reach 10$ in the short term ;)

Thanks for that. Will probably have to wait until after Christmas now so I can read my notes and watch a video about powering up. But seems like you're saying "just do it" as it's a long term thing. 😁

mmh 120 steem might see a better price increase than ETH, that´s no investment advise though so in the end it´s up to you where you see more potential. For me it would be steem!

I'm enjoying having a vote which actually moves the dial a little more, even if I now have to think a little more responsibly about how I use it.
