Vlog 163: A year ago I was right about STEEM and it's only getting better + Current investment strategy.

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


I have noticed that I can no longer scroll to the bottom of my blog.

I tried it today.

I think it's limited to a year on Steemit.com (they are still in the blockchain).

At the bottom of the blog though, I saw this post.

It's about investing in STEEM.

That article made only $0.13 cents by the way.

Here's a excerpt from the article:


The question on everybody’s mind is: What will happen with the price of STEEM after the hard fork. Will whales sell or keep their STEEM? Will the price drop? Will the price go up?

Nobody knows. And I think it doesn’t even matter. The only question that matters is: “Do you think Steemit could become bigger and better then it is Today?”. If the answer is, yes, then you should think about investing.

With the current developers, the current projects in development, the community that consists of the most diverse people I ever met and how accessible the platform is. I think it can be a lot bigger.

The price of STEEM is around $0.11 cents. For what Steemit is today I think that’s a decent price. I would recommend that (if you want to invest) you don’t play the game ‘Guess the bottom price’. It’s a very difficult game to play and almost impossible to win. It’s much easier to buy in gradually.

It also prevents you from checking the price all the time. And most importantly it prevents you from suffering from FOMO in the case the price will go up because you already have some STEEM.


STEEM was $0.11 cents a year ago. Today we crossed the $2.50 mark.

I think a year later the Steem blockchain is indeed a lot bigger and better than it was back then.

And the good thing is I can only see it improving in the future. (SMT's is my #1 favorite.)

This improving or development is not something I can see with some other crypto projects out there.

Investment strategy


My current investment strategy is to diversify some of my crypto holdings (not STEEM) back into fiat gradually.

My crypto holdings went 10x while my Fiat has stood still.

Crypto tends to go up and down as a whole. (If there is a correction there is nowhere to hide fast.)

I need some Fiat in case there is a big dip to buy back in.

If I'm wrong my holding will just go up and I make a little less profit.

Which is fine. I prefer the feeling risk aversion over maximum profits.

I talk about it more in my vlog.

That’s a great strategy. I have been taking out profits along the way too. I remember a year ago too. Price was constantly dropping , and I was looking forward to buying into steem. I’m glad I did, but I wish I had bought more at that time.

I think we all wished we bought more :)

Congratulations on such a successful investment, it takes balls to invest when everyone else is fearful and negative. This recent rise has meant my investment is now in profit too, long may it continue!

Congrats on your investment! and Thanks!

Btw, i’ve been using Steemify recently and really loving it so far. Great work on the app.

That's awesome! Glad you like the app and also thanks for the witness support!

You’re welcome mate.

really great work i agree with u...

nice information on steem strategy invstment

I agree with your investment strategy, diversifying is always a best strategy and taking small profits at frequent intervals will make your fiat balance also strong. Good luck!

Thanks!

Indeed steem is good investment, I admit when we were down to 0.80~ it was looking pretty dark but now things are getting to look brighter :)

for me $0.80 was no problem. I saw $0.08 STEEM.

Im pretty happy that i've invested in steem! We just reached half a million total accounts before the end of the year! I think 2018 will be a great uear for the community, we will have SMT's and utopian will be a lot bigger!

It's a pretty good idea to cash out a bit. If you have some cash on the sidelines, you should be able to pick up quite a few bargains on the next dip in crypto.

If there is a dip ;)

This is the dip

Yes, that's very. I think though whatever comes up must come down at some point. However, that some point might be a bit in the future though. I kind of miss the dips we used to have just a couple months ago. They made excellent entry points to buying more affordable crypto.

.11 cents..i was buying at .15-.22
I have had no regrets, no power down
and i still believe in the platform.
It's not perfect, it have a few shitty ones...but it have some of the most amazing people on earth.

I bought till recently. Now I'm looking at what will happen to the markets first. I also have never powered down. I believe the Steem blockchain will be much bigger than Steemit.com in the future and STEEM tokens very valuable.

So very true. Kinda interesting lately, we'll wait and see where it goes feom here, taking us with it. Cheers!

Haven't you ever thought about powering down just a tiny amount just to see if the process works?

Unless they gave me a special account I'm pretty sure that it will work just like everyone else :)

@exyle,
If someone needs inspiration to do blogging at Steemit, just share this below images. They will not stop blogging forever!



Respect you man! I will try my best to reach it too!

Cheers~

It's a different world for me indeed.

@exyle,
You made that world dude! Congratz!

Cheers~

Only half a year here.. but what a half year.. and we are still in beta...more to come

Yes. A lot more.

You and your app, both are awesome! You took more risks and now it's time for you to enjoy high profits.

Thank you!

Exyle, what do you think will happen to the STEEM? A friend told me that steem is pegged to the US Dollar, so at some point it will correct back down to the price of the dollar. Do you think that is true, or will it continue to rise in value or at least remain higher than the USD. What are your thoughts?

Steem blockchain dollars should be pegged to the dollar. but It's now $13. I don't know whether it will go up or down. STEEM is not pegged.

i presume you already have an idea ready for SMT deployment right? :)

I will toy around with it when they come out :)

The only way up is for sure. I didn't know about the year thing, aw it makes me a bit sad. Occasionally I would look back for something.

I like your advice. I might pull a bit of mine out into fiat for the moment. The crypto gains have been excellent!

It's been a crazy year for sure.

Thanks for the tips man. I have started investing in blockchain, both my time and gradually my money too. Your channel/blog is a great resource, trust me.

Oh and voted too!

Thank you!

it must be amazing to have something undervalued before and see it take off. unfortunately i haven't experienced something like this yet. i really hope steem could go even higher and really go mainstream.

Excellent @exyle , I have been following you from early days and you constantly post positive things about Steem outlook, which is backed by good facts actually.only one way to go which is up

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You have a very smart investment strategy my bud @exyle hence your consistent success. I am also bullish about steem and its ecosystem and we all will ride to the moon come 2018...keep it up.
Today , I wrote about Why the Rich and Poor need cryptocurrencies -feel free to see it when you are free. More success to you.

Thanks, man. I am really curious to see how SMT's will affect the blockchain.

sure has been a hell of a surge of late... i see it as foreshadowing the pending implosion of equity markets

It's amazing to think that a year ago you got only 13 cents for you article. You deserve to enjoy all the success you had by sticking with the platform in such rough times. It's a lesson of courage and perseverance.

Thank you.

We're all still the early adopters of this thing, even those who have joined today.

I expect ither social media will have to issue their own tokens in response to the success of this platform.

as much as i see you are always having a great knowledge to share with us keep hard work and future will be bright for you

Now it's a makor discuss in crypto, for this situation it will set up top five in steady @exyle

Thanks for the Vlog.

I totally agree with you on the diversification aspect since the entire crypto markets are highly correlated. It's nice to learn that you managed to x10 your crypto holdings. My strategy is to invest in uncorrelated assets by selling off the excess holdings in fiat. Real estate seems like a good play in the current financial environment. I'm still bullish with crypto and I'm still looking to build a bigger crypto portfolio. Great updates!

Is a very interesting analysis about use Steem ? Sell or keep

Just getting started and am trying to soak up the details as efficiently as possible. Your post was very helpful. Thanks.

great videos bro!

Steemit could go mainstream only if it would stop trying to be a crypto-reddit and be more like a crypto-medium .

excellent post ..loving to your blog.thanks for sharing..

I am still on a journey to discover myself and I will continue on this journey until I achieve my full potential. YOU should too.

It's wonderful to think that a year past you bought solely eleven cents for you article.The crypto gains are excellent! it still rise in worth or a minimum of stay beyond the USD. thanks sharing.

the essential writing man. you are great. thanks @exyle

If we look to 2018, steemit has a big future. No doubt.Easy and profitable.
Indeed investing in different currencies is a good strategy.

wow you were absolutely right and that too way back a year ago
This is exciting times seeing steem going on a bull run now makes all of us happy and i don't think we will ever see steem back at a dollar price :)

Wise approach regarding diversification and partial cash out. And aspecially regarding not to look too often at Steem price as far as wached pot never boils )))

@exyle can you please tag me about your post on how to invest I'd really want to have mkney I can give freely to those who need it thanks in advance

Hi there! I enjoyed reading your post as I too believe that Steemit will progress in the future and truly hope to see everyone's efforts rewarded over the long term. I also voted for your witness, my first vote there by the way! Keep up the amazing work!

I think it's safe to say that pretty much any of the top crypto's are a good investment. However; steemit is an amazing investment.

That is the essence of belief and taking steps. Bravo

very informative post.every moment i learn something from your post.love to read it.

Predictions, Reading, sharing information, words where many people base there decision on to buy or not.
But what about feeling and trust in a crypto. That could be the most wise keys to help in decission making.
We all feel comfortable here, so we are busy here, we invest not only money but also time. It bring joy and fun as well.

So together we Steem UP!

Brilliant post, I love your strategies. Thanks for sharing the ideas

Now how should i invest in steem as the price will keep on going up :/

right bro.good job..and writing too.thanks for sharing

Voted.

great post.. Thank you for sharing your experience!! I think many people do odd jobs in their life cycle and it may great source of different experience.

Excellent & pragmatic investment attitude when you are in a bubble: "I prefer the feeling risk aversion over maximum profits."

Is it possible, that steem $.... it shows and will put a new line... how expensive steem soon is? 9..12 $
I just ask.

usefull articles

Treasure this moment. It's the lambo moon moment we've all been waiting for on Steem. Never take your lambo moons for granted.

$0.11 cents a year ago to $2.50 today what a journey steem has a system from developments around its blockchain to the community as a whole we have definitely come a very long way...

You have always been supportive to the community and try to help each steemian lets hope steem reaches more new heights soon :)

Help me on this. Which is better to invest in. SBD or STEEM? Seems most people prefer STEEM yet SBD is higher. What am I missing?

I think this is a success for a site steemit
It would be good if the site becomes working without beta virsion

thanks It is beautiful

It will grow more bigger in the next months and years. Steemit is more attractive for users and many people are joining everyday. Thats the reason why they are developing new things in a short period.

I have a very small question out of this topic if you have any idea about it. My voting power raised in the last days and yesterday it went down to 0.01 suddenly. I dont understand the reason. I never powered down and I dont find any topic related to this.

Thank you and enjoy your day!

amazing bro you are here from the beginning you have a lot more than all of us this is certainly exciting thing that has ever happened

I prefer the feeling risk aversion over maximum profits.

Well said.
High Risk = High profit chances
Less Risk = Less profit chances

Its depend on you that what's your needs and capacity.

Steem is the best crypto bet out there for the long term

Thanks mate, being a newbie your posts makes it easier for me to get up to speed!

wish I had found out before, I got in to crypto end of september, found out about steem much later, I was not to active on social media being a passionate golfer in the summer, must keep the focus during a game, but I like steemit and I'm getting use to..... your posts are interesting, keep it up

this is the strategy seems like we have to adopt to invest in the system back thanks for your suggestion :)

Thats's a good strategy.Well risk is in everything so we have to take it ;) I am glad now i had invested in steem at the perfect time !

Oh wow. You must had to scroll for a while lol.

nice idea and better be prepared for all kinds of situations.That is indeed necessary !

I think long term investments will be advisable for steem. Since it will definitely appreciate over time. O don't really know much about fiat, I started crypto investments few days ago. Seems I have so much to read.

patience is the key here if we could hold it for long this can go extremely high we can never ever imagine of good that you share this experience of yours with us it was nice :)

Congratulations on a very successful decision @exyle

I love this

I follow you constantly :) Thank you

lovely

steem together as a whole has come a very long way great progress everywhere i just can't get enough of it

Very good story you write,the early stage of Steem of yours. Excellent post, I vote you. Thanks

I am new to this platform but this helped a lot
my concern is why are Jordan Belfort and many others , saying that cryptocurrency will be a bubble will pop.

I like the fact this site does have followers but i don't like Facebook . Mainly because they want you to post and you get nothing in return if your a content creator i have even seen musicians on this site as well.

The investment has good speed
Im glad

Its not been long I started here and I really commend your work. Keep it up cause I see STEEM as the best platform and the best growing blockchain I've known.

This is amazing, amazing and interesting
Interesting reading Thanks bro. @exyle

i’ve been using Steemify recently and really loving it so far. Great work on the app.

Wow, Steemit does seem to be the place to be right now. This is only my first day here and the more I read the more I am thinking, "This is the place".
Only wished I had found it earlier, but it's all good.

I noticed the limit on going back on people's accounts a few months ago. The limit is from the number of posts on your blog, not the age of the posts. Folks that post a lot of photos have their blog go back only a few months! But I can go back to my posts all the way back to August 2016. I think the count is something like 500. I actually counted when I first discovered the limit. It means that photographers, or folks that post a lot of evergreen content, can recycle their content and almost nobody will ever have a clue. Somebody who resteems a lot won't even go back a year -- @karenmckersie's blog only goes back a couple of months! So then it's even easier to recycle content.

i believe that this is a good investment..i like your strategy..thanks for sharing these tips with us sir.they are really helpful to us :)
