The market correction of the past week, perhaps mainly due to the banning of ICO's in China, has to be seen as a buying opportunity for your favourite crypto-currencies. This news had little direct effect on Steem, in the short term at least, and so why the drop from $1.50 to almost $1?

People are buying/selling/trading crypto 24/7. The prices are volatile and many traders are in for a fast buck, jumping from coin to coin. Bitcoin, the current king of crypto-currency, has a bad day, and the rest catch a cold.

The trick is to buy when you see lows. Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly - the longer the time period, the 'smaller' the risk in most cases.

Yesterday i saw a monthly low in the Steem price ($1.05 approx), as i did last month. Yesterday I bought 1 Ether of Steem, as I did last month.

And of course, it's Powered Up for safe keeping.

Which means more voting power, and larger rewards for my followers comments and their blogs. Everyone is a winner :)

I ain't no trader, but when you see a large dip in price it could be a time to buy a bit more Steem and Power Up!

Thanks for reading

Fully agree!
I bought some yesterday, along with a few other coins. Will continue to do so each month - timing yesterday just happened to be perfect

Cheers

Timing was very good yes :)

As usual, i've not stuck the bank in though, just another top up at value compared with the recent price action.

I'll likely be joining you next month too, cheers!

For sure - I am only investing money I am prepared to lose, although I am hopeful that as a long-term investment it will pay off
I also picked up BTC, EOS, IOTA and BAT

A busy day shopping for you! Bargain hunting from the comfort of your own home :)

From the comfort of work - but yes, busy and hopefully successful

Even better when you are getting paid at the same time! 😁

For sure!

Nice catch there. It was a good weekend for coin shopping. I was kind of surprised the major coins like BTC and ETH were affected by the news like they were. It's not like they're going anywhere. I guess that's why it's called panic selling.

On a separate note, you gotta love blocktrades. They make it so easy to convert other coins to STEEM and put it in your account for you. I've been using them pretty frequently lately.

The markets are so heavily traded these days that any news good or bad is an excuse to pump/dump and buy/sell accordingly. I'm less interested in doing this, especially with Steem as I prefer to hold mine in Steem Power.

Agree that @Blocktrades is simple and speedy - I'm waiting for my first up-vote from them!!! ha ha :D

Funny you mention that...I got an upvote from them about 3 days ago on one of my comments on someone else's post. It was over $20! I about fell out of my chair when I saw it lol. There were some other upvotes too but theirs was what did it.

Nice!

Yeah it seems like you need to be in the right place at the right time. I've seen the #introduceyourself 'new' posts get $90s and then the following day, the #photography tag was hit.

Fingers-crossed for us one day!

I have bought a little this week too :-)

Great :)

Buying in small chunks when the price dipped from recent highs should work out well in the long run!

I bought a few lol I wish I had more to buy cause that was a short opportunity.

Very short, but it's always good to invest in stages so let's wait and see if another opportunity presents itself...

Steem hit some highs I've never seen in my short time in steemit. Though I'm realizing my buying and selling instincts need practise.

Don't worry about the selling for now. Just buy a little when it looks low and covert to Steem Power :)

wow we share the same strategy..haha . Upped. Buy low and power up!!!!

Judging by the speed Steem recovers I think many share the same plan!

Great advice..I've been holding mine-I just wonder though like when silver and gold went crazy around 2015 and dropped out of nowhere how much is market manipulation..🤔 I guess go with your instinct

My personal opinion is that the drop in gold and silver (the old store of value) was due to the rise of the crypto-currency (the new store of value).

Market manipulation is everywhere, and i suspect a judgement day regarding the metals is coming... although I've been saying that for a few years now!

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes that price and the previous dip around 0.9 was great but I am waiting for a bigger pull back. Under 0.80 and I will be loading up. Just seems very probable, even though I believe in purchasing over $2. still.

Yes we are not clear of the $ yet, and I can see more trips below. The deal is with Steem that you don't have to sit on a loss when the price falls, because it holds a different style of value as Steem Power. cheers!

Yea!

Question: Where is the best place to buy Steem, price wise?

You know what, I don't shop around. I just send some other crypto to @blocktrades and it appears in my account here. Then I'll power up and just forget about it :)
