Vlog #98: $0.90 SBD for 1 STEEM + 90K STEEMPOWER reached + Acceptance of new technology is hard for most.

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


Yesterday I saw that STEEM was really cheap on the internal markets. $0.90 SBD for 1 STEEM.

I decided that this was a nice moment to buy the STEEM I needed to reach 90K STEEMPOWER.

Another goal reached.

100K is next.

Just like with my project STEEMFAT, I like working towards goals, while still having fun.

That last part is important to me otherwise I would not be able to keep it up. And blogging is fun.

It has become a big part of my life now.

Earning STEEMPOWER is also fun. Especially because I believe that STEEM is going to be worth a lot more one day.

So every 1 STEEM I buy or earn today will be worth not $1 but much more.

That's why I have never powered down since I started on Steemit.


In 1999 the Dutch were asked if they would ever need a mobile phone in their lives. The answer was no. lol. video with English subtitles

When I was in high school the internet was not considered a real source by my teachers. I had to go to the library and use books to get real sources.

When cryptocurrencies were released they were not considered real money, I had to go to the bank and use my pass to get real money.

Great vlog brother and really glad you brought up Gold. JP Morgan himself said, "Gold is money, everything else is credit." Gold and silver has been real money for thousands of years. It's got an incredibly long track record for being the oldest and most stable forms of money. As we know, old habits are terribly hard to break.

I'm a big fan of gold and silver, and I see crypto as a cousin of the metals being as they're both alternatives to fiat, which makes them both hated by banks and the financial sector. The metals market is incredibly suppressed and has been for a long time. Crypto is facing this same pressure and I believe will more than likely face much more severe pressure in the future. Crypto being decentralized and with it's utility is the most direct threat fiat and fractional reserve banking system has every faced. I feel Jamie Dimon and the financial sector understand crypto very well, that's why they hate it so much. They know it could bring down their fiat ponzi scheme and they're not going down without a fight.

I agree with you about crypto being very misunderstood, as I feel Steem might be the most misunderstood crypto of all. You fear what you don't understand and many people we know will resist change any way they can until it is forced upon them. Think of when a new app or operating system installs upgrades. We hate it for the first week b/c we don't quite no how to use it, but after a week of being forced to, we learn how and all is fine. This is akin to the current monetary system throughout the world. A cashless society is being forced upon us. Many of us are used to using our debit cards and shopping online, but my grandmother refuses and still does all transactions by cash or checks. Some will accept it, some won't, but one day we'll all be forced into cashless transactions, so the people that refused to accept crypto will one day be forced to accept it b/c it just makes sense and it will be how the majority of transactions are made, unless of course government intervention takes place.

I do believe the Amazon news of accepting BTC is just the shot in the arm crypto needs to take that next step into the mainstream. This news could be a windfall for the crypto. Here's the article outlining the decision from busy.org:

https://busy.org/news/@czechglobalhosts/amazon-to-accept-bitcoin-by-the-end-of-october

Have a great weekend brother!

Wow! I didn;t know about Amazon. I'm going to read into that. That's huge! Have a great weekend man!

Say What? Really? Damm.....................................!
Exciting knowing this news of Amazon about to start accepting BitCoin!

This will catapult Crypto's

I say STEEM will be $10 bucks before the year is done.

"because I believe that STEEM is going to be worth a lot more one day."
I'm anxiously waiting for that time, tired of doing long day and night shifts, this is one of the hopes that is still alive!

I was quite surprised to the STEEM price so low, and at the time, should have picked some more up. Then today, it is back over 1 US dollar again :)

I buy Steem on a regular basis, special when it's cheap ;-)

Do you know of a way to buy steem with cash directly? The only way I have figured out how to do it is to change something out of my Coinbase account for Steem.

Yea, Coinbase is the easiest way. Using Blocktrades too. STEEM isnt traded on the US dollar market, as far as I know. Maybe on a DEX?

Nothing yet so far as I know, unfortunately :-/. You could try to work out a private cash-for-steems deal with somebody, but only if you're ready to deal with the risks inherent to that.

I remember going to the bank to do BLOCKCHAIN WALLET transactions!!😃Feels like forever ago!! Also the more I blog the more I enjoy it ! Especially when I blog about kids/family! Guess I'm going to set a goal to reach 2000 steem power! Now seems like a great time to be buying steem !! I the near future people who buy now are going to be super happy when the price goes up NEVER TO RETURN! Congrats on 90, 000 STEEM POWER and good luck!

Well done man, 90,000 is amazing. I also bought yesterday (on a beach in southern Valencia!), and have reached 3000 SP, yes!

GJ getting 3000!

3000 is awesome, well done.

Thank you! 2/3rds is bought I think :)

3000 has been my goal for a while, but now I'm distracted by the need to buy Bitcoin, Litecoin and some very sexy Silver 1 oz Coins :)

Been holding Silver for years, should have bought BTC instead - I'd be retired!

The dream :) I had $30,000 in 2010 to spend, if only I bought cryptos back then I’d be a Billionaire.

sighhh, and here we are! 5 years of this and lets see!

Hopefully in 5 years we can say while we weren't first we were still early enough.

@exyle you are like my Mentor. You remind me how important it is to keep on buying STEEM on a Regular Basis and Power UP. Cryptos are the FUTURE and the FUTURE is NOW !! Steem On my Brother.........

Yes, good eye. STEEM was really cheap yesterday. I was getting ready to try and buy some, and it went back up too quickly.

We all have to watch for those bargains on steem! :)

Sometimes opportunities present themselves very briefly. I always like to have a little SBD on the side fopr when they occur. You'll get it cheap next time!

Well STEEM will be increasing in value even more with my newest idea

You're a financial guy. Come see and let me know what you think.

FREE STEEM given away increases the value of STEEM for the first time.

  • This could never work any other way than this particular way I propose

Congrats on the new power milestone! That takes you to rank no. 173 as featured on Steemwhales currently - not too long to reach the top 100!

The good aspect of your whaleship if one can call it that, is that you are active every single day. That itself is a refreshing change from the closed door whales that we're all used to looking at.

Can you imagine Facebook without Mark Zuckerberg's regular posts? I think blogging by whales should be made mandatory - after all, remember, Steemit is a blogging and social networking platform? :-)

You do both quite well. A big Thank You from the Steemit community to your contribution, and congratulations once again!!

It would be really nice if you could please check out my Missing Steemit FAQ, my latest post and give your feedback.

Thank you!

Great job stacken the STEEM to 90,000 my friend.
Just bough 4550 the other day will be buying 3000 more any day.
I am happy to see the price of STEEM down. Gift from God I say!
If I could only sell my Stocks quicker????
I want to have 100,000 STEEM by NEW YEARS!
Hope to see you all in Acapulco at @jeffberwicks conference, last year was a Blast!

Accepting new technology can take a lot of time. Now regular people can't imagine themselves using new technology like the blockchain technology. But maybe in 10 years time it will be as common as a smartphone/cell phone.

That’s AWESOME Man! I just got started investing in cryptos this month and just found Steemit a short time ago. I LOVE the concept and the platform and I believe it’s going to do great things for a lot of people! 👍👍

many congrats @exyle for reaching another power milestone, i am very happy to be one of your follower because i able to learn and gain something new everyday after reading your blog posts, you also talk about steem rate and yes at 0.90$ it is no doubt a golden change to buy some steem, you made a really wise decision to catch some more steem @0.90 that's great and no doubt if we able to hold it we should definitely see a 10$ steem in future.

Well you also talk about the peoples who won't understand the blockchain, i think they understand it but they just won't want the end of the manual banking system and cryptos are one of the major threats for them, so now they are trying to somehow turns the cryptos to scam, so that's why peoples like Morgan don't want bitcoin development and growth, have a very happy weekend friend and thanks for sharing

Have good weekend, man! and thank you.

$0.90 for steem is an amazing buying opportunity you just nailed it yet again amazing congratulations on that you trade in steem only or you have any other special coin too which you would recommend

Congratulations on the next achievement @exyle, 100 K is already a solid result more opportunities. I have so far, but I will also strive to :)

nice video and post @exyle, no doubt some peoples just won't want to understand the power of cryptos because of their personal benefits, they just try all the time to give the negative impression of the cryptos to the world but i think it is too late for them now, cryptos are now spread all over the world and so many peoples really love using cryptos so i think these peoples won't get any success in their wrong statement.

well you achieve another milestone in steemit that's awesome, i am sure in future one day the whole world is using steemit and then we get the true value of our steempower. i wish for your more success in steemit, enjoy your time.

I also see huge potential in Steemit. It's the same as if you invested in Facebook 2004. At that time Facebook wasn't worth much either. and today?

#Steemit will also be a great thing in 2-4 years. In my opinion! Your investment today will be 40x in 2-4 years, I hope.

Thank you for your post @exyle! Keep going

Yes sir steem price $40 within 5 years

I'll be happy if it reaches $10 in 5 years :)

You would be a 1% from STEEM that'd be awesome!! 👍🌱

It´s very important for everyone of us to work towards reaching a goal. Without them we are just walking along the path of life without any purpose. I got my first SP Milestone set on 1.000, which I will reach the next days and after that it goes straight to 5.000 ;)

That video is a good one. Mobiles, who needs them, haha...

You bought it at an excellent price as now it seems its heading back to the new high's :) so it was really nice buy there by you and i hope you soon reach your next target of 100k Steem Power ;) ,and it seems to be true that the adoption of new technology is hard for most can't deny that even when i learnt about crypto i had no idea how thing works where my money go and if anything goes wrong what will happen but soon realise that the things are easy along with time learn some very cool things so yeah its hard at first but its fun later for sure.

I am sure I have said it before but you are a Steem Machine! Get in there!

You are not to shabby either man!

Working on it, the only way is up!

90K Steempower?
That's amazing!

You truly believe​ that this site​ and Steem will be worth much more in the future​ right?

Yes, I truly believe this.

Really interesting.
Thanks for your answer.

I take a look in the Steem MVP and I saw that you is my great "partner" :) Thank you friend. Congrats for your 90 k SP, that's great. Unfortunately ... I had to power down several times ... without support I had to do this, unfortunately. Success my friend, I'm happy for you!

@exyle - Oh my goodness you reached 90K. Congratulations Sir. Steem will worth more than $1 soon Sir. Huge investment you did now.

The Gold bugs are negative because they have a personal profit motive. Convincing the public is a way to boost the price of their asset holdings or their business. Knowledge is not lacking. I have silver. I hope the price goes up. We have Steem. We hope the price goes up. They sell advice. The want to be seen as interesting by being contrary.

@exyle,
Wow congratz for 90K approach! Hope you will reach 100K soon!

Cheers~

I agree with you, so many people have problem to acceptance of new technology they think this technology not working for long time but when all over the world start to using steemit then you get so many success in steemit.
Congratulations for the next 100K.

yes, the nest big thing will be crypto .. What are the people said it will react to a point that everyone have to get in to it. Like the mobile phone, back in the day it was not a necessity but now it has become more than that.
So investing today on crypto will be a good opportunity for brighter future.

Does Steem has the potential to be in the top 15 cryptos(or even top 10)? What do you think?

Yes. I think it has a huge potential and it's undervalued.

Do you own any Bitcoins? or all in Steem?

I have bitcoins

After 3 months of happy investing into Steem, I realise I forgot about Bitcoin, and now it's twice the price. So it’s now or never to buy 1 BTC, and 84 Litecoins :)

As an investment I prefer STEEM. But having a BTC is smart.

I had a pink protein shake as well for my chocolate shakes. Funny story about people using their local farm to use the telephone, good times :)

We living in very interesting times. We can do that we love, express ourselves and get some spare coins for that :)
Good job! Keep up promoting the future :)

This post is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that's awesome. I think that you've made a very good purchase that will reap great rewards. Plus it gives you a lot of voting power and influence !

Good job on reaching your goals, if you reach your next goal and steem goes to $10 you will be a millionaire :)

amigo #resteemia at your service

absolutely a worthy investment. steem will go to moon ;) then you are a billionaire @exyle

and if you now think to power down too you have got a great option to choose how much you want to power down that's a great addition on steemit recently

niceee

Smart I might have to reconsider how I do things with the steem. Thanks 🐓🐓

its a great idea to buy SP, i appreciate you think tank and best luck for the next.

This is actually some incredible work! Followed

That's a great and a Wise investment it is surely going to be great no doubt :)

It is funny how things change. Never say never...

how many btc are you sppending?

earning it is quite fun and i love doing that its good to spend some time from busy life and it is quite good platform to do that :)

Excellent buy my friend steem is a good invest right now.

Great Words to live by!!!!

Many things are changing day by day
and yeah who knew crypto Would be this famous in the real world few years back.

Keep buying buddy and in no time you are gonna achieve the 100k

steam is now really cheap so this is the best time for buy steem. let's go for shopping on cryptocurrency market.

STEEM is a brilliant innovation wherein social-media users are rewarded with STEEM tokens for actively participating in Steemit . Liking, Commenting and Writing quality content apparently earns you steem dollars.

Given how the world needs quality information from as many verifiable sources as possible and social media sites are trending towards enforcing quality, there’s no doubt that steemit will grow popular over the years.

However, people quitting their jobs for the sake of generating quality content on the internet is still a bit far-fetched. STEEM is bound to take off once this starts happening.

So yes, in my personal opinion, STEEM is a very good buy although I don’t see exponential pay-offs in the near future! @exyle

Congratulatios sir
I also have that in mind once i have capital

Steem is a word...that is rising own way....and hopefully it will take a great a place..

There was a time when we connected internet only to get connected to pen pals via messengers. We've come a long way. Its also about how you use the the technology.

A friend recommended your blog to me last night and I'm loving it. I'm more hopeful of this platform and its future now. I will try to be a regular from Today :)

And hey, congratulations on the milestones.
