I have been blogging on Steemit now for about four months, and I am beginning to work towards making my first purchase with the money I have made from blogging. SO EXCITED!

Cashout Strategy

Currently I am just around 500 SP, so when I power down I get around 40 Steem. However, every week I make about 40 SP. Thus, I am able to continuously cashout AND stay at a consistent SP level.

I take this 40 Steem and convert it to BTC and hold it in my Trezor wallet.

In my opinion, this is a good strategy because:

• BTC > USD
• I keep a respectable SP level (I maintain a $0.01 - $0.02 vote)
• I invest in BTC weekly, avoiding chasing dips and peaks
