It is very inspirational journey and I would say, smart strategy. Rather than waiting on price to recover reducing the dollar average cost per Steem through blogging, contest even delegation is the game we can patiently play in this bear market. Crypto-market is extremely volatile and cyclic, both highs and lows are nerve crunching for investors. People can't sell at high due to greed of selling higher and buy at low due to fear of getting further down.

I have another #AskSteemit blog about possible low, high and price swing of Steem. You may find it interesting too:
