It Has Gotten Slow Around Here!

Is it about the money? Cause for me it's about the steem. See it doesn't really matter what steem is priced at but for some it does. See at the end of the day its same. Steem goes up, post rewards go up, earn less steem. Steem goes down, post rewards go down, earn more steem. Lets face it at the end of the day its all about how much steem you have.

See I am pretty sure that when we saw the climb of the steem price, we had some people that joined for the money. Now that the money isn't what it used to be, there gone just like a bad dream.

See they had it all wrong, it's not about the money, its about the steem. At this current moment your post are earning more steem per dollar than 3 months ago. With the SBD falling close to $1.00 its just about time to change over from 50/50 to Power up.

Here is the answer for you. You need to post, upvote, comment, then repeat. Stopp worrying about the price, its not any different then any other market.

Look at it this way, 3 months ago 100 steem would have cost you $400,USD. Today, 100 steem will only cost you $136.00 USD. So get out there and buy, post, vote and comment.

IT'S GOING TO GO BACK UP!!

hahaha I do like my steem more when it's worth $8 though lol

We all do, but now is the time to stock up

True that @cyberblock, but in a year from now $8 STEEM is gonna be a bargain basement price!!!

I haven’t been here through a summer season yet. Do you think the quiet is just the low rewards or is it that plus people out doing summer things?

I’ve definitely been slacking on the posting.

Not sure, it was the summer of 2017 when I started. But the rewards are a lot better than back then.

Prolly both D. I know I'm busy as shit in real life and my hour on Steemit tonight has been spent reading & commenting, as you (unfortunately) found out a little while ago.
:)

Thank you @raybrockman You just wrote what I was thinking about doing. Buying more STEEM. I am in this Steem thing until my last Breath...........

You and I both @stokjockey

I couldn’t agree more, it’s been way too quiet. It’s about interaction not the price per payout. The entire crypto market is taking a beating. It will come back.

Man I have seen steem at .80 cents, still way better than it was. But your right.

I remember making a comment on another post that is kind of pertinent to this one. It went like this:

"..........Just a few months ago my roommate and I were talking about some money troubles
that we were having and he reminded me that I can sell some of my Steem for the Euro and 
make up the rent. The first thought that struck me was the fact that I am here to earn 
Steem and not Euro, so why would I sell it to buy Euros."

Posted this as a part of a comment on this post: https://steemit.com/eos/@lukestokes/are-you-ignorant-about-eos-steem-and-dpos

From time to time I have sold steem, but I dont think I will be selling any more steem any time soon.

Agreed! It's slow as molasses round here. But I can't understand why people would slow posting because STEEM or SBD is low. Great time to accumulate. We are in the right place at the right time. I know for some of us that is usually not the case! But this time...it is the case!!!
Just stack that STEEM and don't look at the price, at this point, it does not matter. No guarantees, but if (WHEN) STEEM breaks out it'll allllllllllllllllllllllllllll be worth it!
:)

Well said @summertooth, plus you are earning more steem now anyways.

Great post @raybrockman. It's time to go 100% power up? Appreciate your advice.

Go 100% power up one the SBD fall to $1.00 or lower.

Thanks 👊

So what if the price is low now , I'm looking on that for long term sometimes the prices will be higher and sometimes lower

True, long term its still strong.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

I'm still here Steemin and Dreamin baby

I like that, we have come a long ways dude.

Absolutely, I will be buying some Steem this weekend. Perfect time to buy!!

Absolutely!!! Buy it up

I appreciate your enthusiasm, Im new to steem and look forward to exploring.

hahahahahah......lol

So true Ray! It has been slowing down a lot lately, but that just goes to show that those that are still here are in it for more than the money and I am glad to be apart of it.

I like my steem too lol, I try and keep up with posting at least once a day. I love this platform. xo

I am tightening my belt as regarding to spending my steem on raffles or steembasic income and going to just power up that magic

Yep, it has slowed down a lot. It's too bad to see so many people who get discouraged because their posts aren't getting as big of payouts anymore with the vote values down. It doesn't matter, just keep going and it will come back. When it does, those who have kept going will be in better shape than before. Good stuff, man!

Nice post, and don't think I didn't notice those Coins and that Piggy Bank along with the FRN's... Those Coins are what's going to save us... And you think it's slow around here, when you get 63 Votes in 3 hours...??? It takes me almost a Week to get that many... lol...

I agree, many people have un-assed the area over the declining price. I haven't been on in a few days because of life getting in the way and it feels like it's been a month lol.

According to my tracking number, it looks like the Bandito will be getting his steemit rounds today! YAY! 🙆‍♂️

Amen! 😁

I am buying steem and I will be very happy if I get it at $1 or less.

I personally like it when the price is down, it means more steem is earned on each post. When it goes up the less is earned. Yes my SBD might be worth more but I rarely take anything out, I keep most of my stuff in the system. I try to buy stuff through here if I can. speaking of which someone totaled my van and I had to get a new car, you don't happen to have any decals left for sale in the small size? If you do I will message you to arrange a purchase as I need new swag for my new car which I scored a STEEM Indiana personal license plate for.
