RE: RIDING THE CRYPTO WAVES ON STEEMIT - A LESSON TO LEARN
Buy low, sell high... such a simple concept that most know but oh... so hard to follow when your emotions join the charts on the roller coaster ride. Yes, I agree that many lost motivation for posts when steem dropped in value and suddenly the frequency of posts increased dramatically when steem rocketed recently. Hahaha... How realistic people are ;)
Yes it is, we've seen plenty of evidence for that! I noticed the changes in frequency too. Once, when a lot of people stopped posting due to a drastic decrease in post payouts, I tried to "lead by example" and actually posted more, as a way to show that post payouts weren't everything. Little did I know how that would work out in the end...
What a pleasant surprise when steem suddenly decides to take off ;) Although sometimes hard to adhere to but I really think things become a lot more fun when I forget about the rewards and just let nature takes its course. Interesting how people have no qualms interacting on other social media platforms when there is no real reward to speak of, except for engagement, interaction and socializing.
