Aging STEEM roller...

For about a year my wife and I have been working to make money in the IM world: PPC, CPA, affiliate selling. All of them work, but all of them require a lot of work. I'm now 77, somewhat successful, but very tired. I believe in working to make money, have done so since the age of 14 - 63 years, and am slowing down.
Two years ago an acquaintance told me to invest in something called BitCoin. When I failed to understand the technical description of how it works, I backed out. It was worth less than $10 at the time.
Last May, one of my sons told me the same thing, and I took another long look; invested a total of $2,113 over the next several weeks. I included ether and ltc, and now the $2,113 investment is worth almost $3,800 without my having to do anything.
I found STEEM by accident while trying to find current information on trading altcoins, and am blown away by the double blessing: I can make money by simply blogging, AND hordes of others like me are joining up and purchasing STEEM.
What that means to me is that the value of each STEEM unit absolutely has to increase.
I understand that there will be bump/dump episodes, and I already know that these are more creative/destructive than in the stock markets, but I'm convinced that STEEM will continue to rise in value over the next decades.
Whether STEEM will equal FaceBook I doubt, but it will be one helluva contender.
I'm in. I intend to purchase the minute I'm approved. But at this time I want only to buy tradeable STEEM dollars.
