Why do I Keep Posting on Steemit With Steem Prices Plummeting?

I first got into Steemit around the end of 2017 when crypto currencies were shooting up like a rocket. I invested in a few coins and saw modest gains. I discovered Steem and loved the platform. I sold most of my other coins and invested the money back into Steem. Then I saw many of the prices drop like a rock. Prices went up again and now they have dropped again. It can be frustrating seeing prices drop, because rewards drop, vote values drop, less people are on the platform.

I could stop posting and wait for prices to go up again. However, I have learned something over 5 years of blogging. Consistency and determination provide results. Many people fail at business or other ventures because they give up when things get tough. It took me months before I saw results with my blog. But I kept writing and posting. It helped that I wrote about things I loved like real estate. I try to do the same thing on Steemit. I write about things I love which makes it fun for me.

While my Steem may not be worth much now, I still get a lot out of the site and I am here for the long haul. You don't get very far in life if you expect instant results.

I will keep writing and hope to help others out there. In the long run I think Steem could be huge.
