Vlog 292: Steem price + Is it still worth to start blogging today?

in #life7 years ago (edited)


Yesterday I was asked if it was still worth to start blogging today.

I thought about it a bit more and besides having FUN and meeting great people on here it's, in my opinion, also still worth it from a monetary perspective.

My reasoning:


Every STEEM I earned in the past I still have because I never powered down.

That means that 10 cent STEEM I was earning 16 months ago (and didn't sell) is now worth $3.80 STEEM.

So a .50 cent (2.5 STEEM + SBD) post back then is actually worth around $10, today. (I just didn't know it yet).

That's pretty cool.

Also, every SBD I earned went into STEEM from July 2016 till December 2017.

Now, If you believe that STEEM could be worth $20 or more in the future (which I think it can be in the upcoming 2-10 years)

I think yes, it is totally worth blogging today.

Of course, this mindset requires a leap of faith. I can't promise any of this.

But that's why this is called the blockchain of opportunity.

Everyone building on this blockchain is taking this same risk.

Investing their time, energy and knowledge in the hope it will pay off in the end. (Next to having fun!).

And one more thing.

Besides earning STEEM right now, I think earning SMT's in the future is the next big opportunity.

I talk about it more in my vlog (from @3:40)

Greetings, exyle

I also believe that. I think the steem and sbd currency may be worth more by the end of 2018, 2019 ....

I invested my money from other criptomoedas and bought steem power to have a little faster growth. It is a huge risk, but I imagine that in the medium and long term it can give me good results.

The steemit social network can become a holistic profession for many, if they are good writers and know how to deal well with the audience they attend here, having good relationships and exposing their texts well.

Could you explain better what those gains with smt ??? This I did not understand.

Thank you and good morning!

Nobody stumbles into wealth by accident, it is attained by deliberate and intentional effort with a very strong leap of faith. Don't blog just for the sake of Steem price.... adding value and creating quality should be on priority...happiness is more important, if blogging gives you that then it is totally worth blogging today.

Agree. There is a bunch (if not most of blogs) that are made clearly just to earn money but that add zero value. I think my posts more than once, trying to create real content. I value when I see the same in others. Also people that really reads or watch and makes real comments.

$5 steem would be better. ;) lol

@exyle Mark is absolutely Right. If you put in the Effort you Will Be Rewarded. Most times when I post I get $2.00 or $3.00 a post. When I first started on STEEMIT I had no Idea how this thing Worked. It does not matter when you are NEW to know how this Works because somebody on STEEMIT over the last 2 Years has made a Post to Teach how to do This. My Advice for what its worth Be Consistent and Create Content. If you have a Passion no matter what it is, People on here will Find You and they will embrace you and encourage You......Just Get Started !

I like this reply :) And this what I do... I try every day.

takes a lot of time/work to present this and is appreciated

Hold on the Steem and powering up, is something I know you of. which I have also learned from. It now my 9th month here on Steem blockchain which I have successfully build up my Steem to the level it is now.
Nothing goes to the blockchain in waste, which I also believe much on the blockchain.

Investing their time, energy and in the hope it will pay off in the end.

That the real fact behind blockchain

My biggest post so far made $350, when steem was 12c.
I didn't cash it out though, so that 3000 steem is now worth about $12,000.
More than 95% of it's value has been added since payout.

WOW! What a story! That's so cool!

Wow great story. Hold is it!

Wow, that's really something encouraging.

It wasn't at the time. People were leaving in droves because the price was too low.
You gotta put your long term goggles on :)

Thanks mate.

You are hitting the nail on its head!
When the price dropped the activity here was dropping but I keep on engaging. It was just easier to get noticed and to build up steem power.
Now I am glad that I did!
And yes, the steem price will climb! So every steem we earn now could be doubled by the ens of the year.
If one would start now with blogging, that ine will still be an early adopter because the mass is not here yet!

Hello @exyle if you think the 7kg of big and good steaks that you cooked for your birthday (28 april) in 5 years you can take 70 kg and with only one Steem is fantastic! :)

lol! Enough to serve everyone at Steemfest 7.

Ok I will arrive with a truck full of coal for the fire,I love grilled meat:)

Well.... having fun writing and curating is what counts most for me. I posted my first blog post after 3 months and guess what? I only have 8 votes and $0.97 (for some reason it was 0.97 and now it is 0.92).
Anyway I am so thrilled about it, even the 97 cents is something I earned and I really had a blast writing the article since it was a "journey" for me.
So whatever STEEM does in the market is OK with me for now.
I am just thrilled to be on board.

During my first year in steemit I only made two posts and made 25 cents. Guess what? After one year of having forgotten my account I opened it and saw I had about 40 u.s. dollars because of a pike on January with those 25 cents. Just keep on creating content of value and hold on!!

@exyle ik hoop dat de prijs van sdb terug zal stijgen, buiten het feitdat je een paar euro's kan verdienen met bloggen is leuk meegenomen , maar vind steemit nog steeds leuk omdat goede content beloond word en ik zo al veel goede creatievelingen ben tegen gekomen, groeten
