In the past eighteen months or thereabouts, the price of Steem has been on a downward trend. As I write, Steem is presently trading at $.22, which is just a cent above the lowest price we've seen this year.
I remember that in the January of 2018, when the price of Steem was at its peak, there were quite a number of folks here who often complained that the whales had an unfair advantage because they had the opportunity of buying bags of Steem when it was incredibly cheap.
Today, from a peak of about $7.3 and over a period of about a year and half, Steem has fallen to 22 cents. And I keep wondering why the complainants have gone into hibernation, why they are not buying Steem. Are they waiting for a further crash?
I have come to discover that what most people do is to complain and keep complaining without taking the necessary actions. Tomorrow, Steem will rise again and the same folks will return to lament again, regretting why they didn't buy when it was cheap.
While I admit that there is no guarantee that Steem has finally bottomed out but the present price is a good entry point for those who see the opportunities ahead.
As for me, I have taken advantage of the present market price by investing in Steem on my road to hit 5k Steem power. Will you keep complaining or take the bull by the horn and turn the tides in your favour? The ball is on your court. Until I come your way again, I wish you a full Steem ahead.
