Steem Price Crash - I Think I Am Responsible

in photofeed •  7 years ago 

Also...500 FOLLOWERS! Thanks for reading this snippet under the title!

It seems every time my account value was approaching $1000, the price of Steem would drop just enough to keep it out of reach. And now it has just swept the rug out from underneath me! It has been a good demonstration to me that I'm not here for the money and I really do enjoy the whole Steemit experience. But I am very sorry if, for some strange reason, I am responsible for the fall in Steem's value. I'm pretty sure that is how cryptocurrency works isn't it?

Opera on the Rocks - It's always difficult to find a new take on a popular subject. Even harder when you are wandering around on your only chance for a sunrise shoot while visiting a place.

Thank you to everyone that has followed and supported me over the past 2.5 months. I really appreciate all the votes and comments, especially those that make me think and those that make me laugh. I'll continue to provide interesting posts as much as I can. I've got an idea for one that's a little longer and informative than just an image and the settings. Just need the time to do it.

Once again, thank you 500 awesome followers!

Hi, firstly I love your photo (a different take on an old favourite) !
Secondly - I am super new to Steemit (so haven't had much of a reason to focus on the Steem price BUT i can't beleive that the (your) value has dropped from close to $1000 down to $680-ish.
That Huge!
Well hopefully it all picks up again soon.

Thanks!
If it goes back up to $8 then my value would be above $2000!
Welcome to Steemit! Fun times to be had here even without the financial incentives

So true - have a great day!

My friend this is a stunning photo! Check out my page and judge my photos! I would to see what you think of my photos your clearly an expert! I definitely upvoted and followed you!

Thanks!

Awesome pic!

Thank you!

Don't be sorry about Steem's value. I'm sure that it will increase again ;) And I love the photo. I wish I could view in full screen :) I can make it my desktop wallpaper :)

Haha, it's small so you can't make it a wallpaper. I make a living off selling my images so I don't just make them readily available for people to take. :P

I'll see what I can do about getting Steem back up though.

Please don't get me wrong, I'll not steal your photos :)

Maybe you just need to sell a bunch of your STEEM off and then you'll start climbing back towards $1000 again? Just thinking outside the box ;) But for real, sure wish it would hurry up and stop sucking haha.

Congrats on 500!

It couldn't possibly get any worse....

...it's going to get worse isn't it?

I've seen worse pictures in my time. In fact, I might even think it's a really really nice photo. The steps add some cool texture to it.

Also, please fix it. I think I made more money in the first month than I even have in my account now that it's a quarter of what it once was. So..I'm ready whenever you are ;)

I'm working on it. I planted a kettle in the backyard this morning.

You are welcome

:) thanks!

Great one Kieran! Congrats on 500 followers :)

Thank you very much :)

So dear @kieranstone, how do you think you are going to make this up to all of us? You think you can charm us away with those fancy photos of yours? Although I love this bloody amazing shot of yours (love the red!!), I will never admit that. Like @aweber said: "ready when you are".

I can try as hard as I can with my photos! I think it is working on you though ;)

Nope... not working! 😎

Awesome photo! And congrats with your 500!

Thanks so much!

Haha of course you can’t be responsible :). Don’t be discouraged, just keep stacking your Steem power, congrats on 500 followers too!

I'll know I've made it when my vote is worth $1 :)

Excellent camera choice my friend

It gets the job done ;)

LoL aargh that's why you just try for an sp number rather than an account worth number, one is more stable than the other one ;D

Goodness those colours. I love them. Did you get up at get stuffed o'clock just to catch a sunrise photo? :D

goatsig

I am still aiming for 500SP :)
Anytime before sunrise is get stuffed o'clock!

Amazing shot man! I feel your pain though, I feel like every time I buy into something or have a goal, it's crushed by this bear market. I'll take solace in the fact that everything is being killed right now... I mean ETH is down to $600 which is crazy

As long as everything is down and everyone is suffering then I'm happy.

wait...that didn't come out the way I meant

Don't look now, but ETH is rekt! wow, today was brutal

Your post processing is so cool.. dang

I swear you and @natebillings are the same person. You seem to post at the same time and have similar styles and subjects in your photography. You're both even have the same sounding name! You both joined on the same day and are both from Seattle.
I've got my eye on you two! Or you one!

Oh, and thank you! :P

heh. Maybe we are :)

But actually we aren't. We do hang out a lot though!

I am sure there is a lot of work behind your photos, yet you make it look so effortless!

I just turn the saturation and contrast sliders to 37.

Can't wait to get to that level. ;)

That would be my luck too. But just like you, I am here to share my love for adventuring and make new connections. Also, I need to hop on a plane to Australia asap.

You'd love it here! Plenty to explore and so much space :)

Congrats on 500! Beautiful shot ; makes me a bit homesick. As for the steem price it could get a lot worse before it gets better! Just have to strap in for the ride .

worse? But I just joined the crypto bandwagon...

Well it was 8$ 3 months ago and 15 cents a year ago. So expect it to be anywhere between 8 cents and 80$ in the next year lol !

hahaha. If it goes to $80 I'm buying a boat

Also that guy is going to be in my nightmares tonight

Congratulations on your milestone, Kieran! You are doing a great job here on the platform :) It sucks too see the price of Steem fall below $2, but such is the crypto market at the moment - whenever bitcoin goes up or down, every other coin follows. Cheers and keep steeming!

P.S. Stunning shot of the Opera :)

Thank you very much! Crypto got to those heights once and it can do it again. Until then, I'll just keep Steeming.

Now I know who to blame for the shitty steem price....on the other hand, it was once 0.09 soooo... It's all good.

I think crypto was baiting people with high prices and has reeled us all in out of the water. I don't mind though :)

Nah - I'm thinkin' like @aggroed $50 steem :) It'll be back.

Or....at least I hope.

$50 Steem?? I could buy a new car...

Way to go! Well deserved, of course, your photography is outstanding. I won't blame you for the crash. In fact I'm not thinking about the crash. Like you, I've realized that I'm not here just for the money (though the money helps me spend more time here), and so we can afford to be patient and wait for it to rise!

P.S. That's a holy-wow-amazing sunrise!!

We'll all be rich one day. But right now we're rich on life... 🤢🤮

Life? Is that a new ICO?

Very rad shot here. Just stumbled onto your work. Gonna go check more posts.

Awesome, thank you!

Tis a pleasure being one of your followers man, my feed is that much more enjoyable to look through :)

That's so nice, thank you!
I too am better off for following you 😁

Wow. The sunset is reflecting off every surface. Beautiful! And thank you, now I know who to blame for the fall in Steem prices. 😉

Haha. I'm happy to be the scape goat 😅
