You’re right. There is no point in stressing over other “crappy” coins. If they go up they go up. But having steem is amazing because like you say, you can use it easily. And it earns you money everyday whether the price goes up or down. I am in some of the coins you sold to try to make a quick profit, but I’m just getting started. Im banking on speculation to raise some the prices so i can get more btc. I’m done adding fiat money, I’m just working with what i got right now. Trying to grow it. Congrats on retiring from not working lol. That’s great that you have so much money and didnt need to work and now you can just relax. Congrats man. That’s the goal for everyone right there

You’re so right though. People hold these coins and dont use the platforms that were created with the coins. They just hold the coin waiting or it to go up. Steem is one exception to that and there are a couple others. But most of the Blockchais created dont get used or are useless. The coin is what people focus on and not the technology. And that’s backwards. I myself am in coins that i dont use the Blockchain for. Ill admit it. But i like that you are talking about this. Because you have a large voice and audience. People will hear you and listen. Coins go up simply because people want them to. Not for what technology they have. Good work man. Let’s show people the point of crypto again

so true haha

I definitely agree with you. My husband and I invest into altcoins for long-term that have actual utilization. Majority are still up and coming with development, but it'll soon enough have utility. When there's an altcoin that catches our attention, you research more into it, read their white to see if they have an actual product and speculate the future use of them.
"The coin is what people focus on and not the technology. And that's backwards." SO TRUE! People are getting into crypto simply due to trend lines. They get excited when they see upward growth, but get scared when the price decreases and end up selling. They need to trust the actual product and hang in there.

But they're good for day tradin'

Couldn't agree more and it's interesting how a lot of influencers in the cryptosphere talk about how this is going to make or break the crypto startups behind all these new crypto business models. This is what will allow them survive if there's ever going to be a bursting evaluation bubble. The size and strength of the community, plus the actual usage of the coin/token. Great comment @ginquitti!

Thanks Trevon.I saw your videos on Youtube and joined .I greatly admire your effort in crypto world.

Thanks Trevon, you're one of the first Steemians I heard about and started studying before diving in. I share your blogs and vlogs on Steemit and Youtube everywhere. Keep up the great work brother.

You're right!!

You are right, because of the big grows in percentage, people forgot what we started to invest in crypto in the first place: to change something and use a better version of what we already have.

Blockchain is a really great technology and we are using it wrong. Now it's all speculation and getting richer...

I bought some steem yesterday and I will keep buying it as soon as I got more money :)

In total agreement with you @iulianba and the best comment I've seen all day. At the moment, I'm reminded of the greedy boom and bust years in the 80s. Awful selfish greed and Ferraris.
Really sad the way crypto has been leapt upon by a new generation of traders simply out to make as much cash for themselves as they can.
I'm not a socialist, I have no problem with anyone making money but the more money people make, the more responsibility there is to share and empower others, not just have the pathetic goal of buying a Lambo.
Best wishes to you and thanks for this comment :-)

You said it! Everyone it seems is out to earn as much money as they can before their ticket out of here... most forget that with money and power comes responisbiilty - that responisbility is to help out others as much as possible. Lifting up our fellow man/women!

Thank you for the kind words!

steemit is part of life.I have seen several other intelligent people predict huge prices in the future per steem. I, of course really hope those predictions are right!

But we must never forget the responsibility we have now as this community to make a steem a welcoming and positive place. I think we are important for the future success of the steem blockchain, so we need to keep making a steemit a great place for interactions. i love steemit

Very wise decision @trevonjb ..."Came late but correct".

A little late yes. I got about 39,000 of my steem below $1 so its ok. I think steem can reach $100 over time as supply and demand kicks in.

It's never late here... i know you were here few months back.... Glad to see you back with a bang... I hope you will start your famous contests now on Dtube...

I wish steem will be 100$ soon :) btw i have some coins Now :) 2k RDD 100XLM 500 XVG Maybe i can sell them for steem ?

I wouldnt say its late....... the partys just starting :)

hah well said !

Agree I think Steem is going to be HUGE

yeah really it is a big true that it is only one coin which we use daily we can uploade videos, vlogs,family videos, photos,our thought and every other things in our life as you say and it give us more excitements to share these in this comunity
and also it is more wonderfull thing to listen that you have 2 millions crypto hope you will be happy and rich life with you prety wife and sweet and cute baby...wish you more success in your happy life
and its your good decesion to take a good step for rise your powrup and we also hope the steem give us a bright future @trevonjb

paid to play

I think steem will explode soon and it has so big potential ! I think thats a good place to invest your money ! Great job trevon we need more people like you in the community :) !

Seriously what would be the point in doing that? I'm curious because I could be a Steemit whale if I did that!

Keep learning about Steem and you will figure it out :)

Thank you sir. I will try and continue as much as I can!

hahahahaha, man!! You are freaking hilarious!! God daaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!

I am no trader man and shiat!! you hold a lot of coins there man!! but I'm happy for you because you took saw the potential and BOOM!! Now, you can make money rain :D

Anyway, the early birds always have the advantage, which is why this the exact time to do steemit and dtube. I totally agree with your point of view of why you should speculate when you can actually do something you love and earn something with it, which is with STEEM blockchain. This is truly a HUGE opportunity for all of us!! In my opinion, one day, steemit will be well known. I mean, now we already have half a million users on steemit and it's been only a year!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us man!!

Winny out...for now ;)

@congratulations and what a great decesion @trevon and i am you come back with more hope and more make good work here and also you work with dtube make it more good and also steem will be on high after some time and i think whcih of us take decesion now early who will be get more benefits in next some years when the steem power will be out of reach and will impossible to buy power in cheap

That's whats up, because Steem is the way!
