STEEMIT ...I totally get it..!!
Looking into the Crystal Ball
When a "Burger Picture" gets +$20.00 and your great work is rewarded by a mere $0.01 it's time to dig deep.
I have been Investing for coming up to 30 years now and have seen some great opportunities along the way.
Investing is all about seeing what is the next big thing.
In the '80's it was Property and I did very well at that.
In the '90's it was the dot.com and that was very exciting and very rewarding.
In the '00's it was Property again along with Stocks and it was very difficult not to make money.
We all know what happened in 2008 and I have always been a believer that it marked the end of the Free Market as DEBT and DERIVATIVES took over.
We are now on the verge of the next big thing, only this time it is Global..!!
STEEMIT
In the coming weeks, months and years, "Paid-to-Post Social Media" will transform the landscape of Social Media and the timing of STEEMIT has been perfect.
It's not about what it's worth today or tomorrow or next week that makes a great Investment. It is what it's potential is worth in the coming months and years ahead that counts.
Last week I did an Interview with World Alternative Media and will be happy to re-post for one's who haven't seen it.
PIED PIPER
Having been once been described as the "pied piper" in the early 00's when I jumped back into Property for the SECOND time I am being asked constantly what is the "next big thing?".
We are currently witnessing an unprecedented shift with a new generation of Investors out of Stocks and Bonds and into CryptoCurrencies as the garbage story of DEBT and MANIPULATION is no longer believed.
CryptoCurrencies are the next big thing, but not just any CryptoCurrency.
Social Media CryptoCurrencies..!! .....and it's time to find your group.
FIND A GROUP AND JOIN IN
The key to STEEMIT is to find a group you like and join in.
Whether it's trainspotting, cooking, photography, sport or gardening, join a group of like minded individuals who share a common interest.
I am very interested in Blockchain, Innovation, Steemit, CryptoCurrencies, Finance, Stock Market, Derivatives, Debt, Commodities, Trade, GOLD & SILVER and would be more than happy to follow, share, upvote on posts I am happy to read.
The best Investment advice I can give is stick at it. Knock on the door and if there is no answer pitch a tent and wait until someone comes to open it..!!
Thanks for reading and please feel free to share.

I"ve been a little reluctant to jump on board crypto currencies. However I know this must be the beginning of an opportunity. Question is which one to jump into? Bitcoin is so pricey.
Do like Templeton. Buy everything that is priced below $1 and you will become rich.
I couldn't agree more. Don't forget Bitcoin was $0.10 in 2010. You couldn't give them away..!!
At less than $0.60 STEEMIT presents a compelling Investment and is probably on the best opportunities out there.
I agree. I'm just a student , and I've put a little money into stocks and bitcoin but that's it. I believe Steemit has the potential to take the world by storm. I would love to learn more from you about investing.
I am a little jealous. When I was in my early 20's and began Investing there was no Internet. You really were on your own and was like throwing a dart against a dartboard blindfolded and with both your hand tide behind your back. The best Investment advice I can give you is never stop learning. At the age of 50 I am learning all the time and will never stop researching what is actually going on. Happy to upvote, follow and read your posts. Cheer. Stephen
A senior IT colleague told me 15 years ago, when I was a rookie:
"Running code wins."
And steemit.com is running. All others (yours, synereo, etc) are vaporware at the moment.
We need apps with direct picture upload to get steem mainstream.
Here's a man who know's what he is talking about..!! I agree 100% with what you have been told. Thanks for the comment. Stephen
No wonder you always seem so knowledgeable. I know nothing about investment, but was trusted by a friend to manage bitcoins for some clients.
Personally, i feel that the blockchain technology will go very far. I'm not that sure about cryptocurrency. But there're a few markets out there that some of these Altcoins will make it far. Steem, Synereo AMP (If they really do something about it), Maidsafe (like AMP, if they do something about it) and a bunch or others like Ripple that will revolutionize the banking system, and also not forgetting the bunch that focus on privacies, Dashcoin, Monero and so on.
I might be overthinking it, but i feel that, if we invest in the right group of coins that will be the concern for crypto-users, or maybe even general public who doesn;t know anything about cryptocurrency, will it be a better way? At least this is how i feel for now. Hope to get some advice from you Stephen.
Looking forward to the post that will bring you to the top!
Thanks. One very important thing to remember in this topsy turfy crazy market we are in is DERIVATIVES. These financial instruments are dangerous if used recklessly. STEEM is currently the target of shorters!! That is traders who are SELLING $Steem even though they dont own a single one. Naked Short Selling as its known distorts the real price discovery. In this environment you have to have a long term vision. Mine is 5-7 years. Hope this helps. Stephen
Hi, I'm the same person who posted this question. I'm not that familiar with how people trade in the forex or stocks market. Looks like i need to read up more about them and not just learning about all these cryptocurrency.
But i get that naked short selling distorts the actual value. Perhaps its a good thing at the moment, so that more users can get in, and maybe buy in some SP for now for the long haul. I'll need to learn more about short selling as well, in order to get me some allowance to survive, haha. Anyway thanks for your insight Stephen. Would love to learn more from you.
No problem that's what I'm here for. We use a very powerful Technical Analysis tool that has taken nearly 4 years to build. To give you an idea of it's power it picked up on 18th Dec 2015 that SILVER had hit a bottom of $13.58oz. It is now over $19.00 and going up. When we called the bottom on 18th Dec while all the other experts were still in their pyjamas and did come out until around April/May and then started spouting on that it was a bullish buy. At the moment we are waiting for $STEEM to do the same and it's getting close to the bottom. Happy to follow and read your posts. Cheers. Stephen
Oh yea, i remember that silver craze when alot of investors were talking about it. I invested a small penny in it.
Perhaps too small, i spent most of the money away. I've always refused to learn about those Analysis tools that were available online or other place else. Sometimes I think I've really wasted enough opportunities to learn about other things. Recently i tried short-selling, and I'm horrible in it. Was a horrible sports gambler with some moment of brilliance, was hoping investing in cryptocurrency will change me, but I guess it'll take some time.
