The value of owning steem comes from holding it as steem power,and getting curation rewards.For this to be profitable,you need to hold enough of it.If you buy in now at a low price,you should get a return on your investment in the long run.I plan to buy,I'm currently at 2500 steem,and I plan to pass 10000 this year.There is risk involved,but also possible high profits.I', ona very tight budget though,and will only spend what i can afford to lose.
