Hello there Acid
To be honest since I only joined Steemit in January, where prices were really high I couldn’t afford to buy. So a part of me was wishing prices to either continue climb or reach at 0.10$ for one day only. Since then a purchased steem and I will continue to do so because as you said on the long run if steem “delivers” then it will be Christmas for everyone. Actually I trusted tether on some occasions and it was a wise choice. In the end...persistence is what makes winners. Have a great day!
