Confessing My Steemy New Affair

I'm often asked about investments and what I would recommend for people looking to make a good return, especially now, in regards to cryptocurrencies. I've always given the same advice, which is that you should start a business that truly inspires you and then throw all of your weight into that. Even though I believe that gold and silver will be rising in value, I don't personally buy them. Even though I believe that Bitcoin will be rising in value, I don't personally buy it. Even though I can list off a handful of companies that I believe are destined for growth in the near future, I don't buy their stock. I don't buy commodities or speculative investments of any kind because I'm focused on my own business and I feel that any dollar spent on other people's companies is a dollar withheld from my own. Every second I spend on another venture is a second I'm neglecting the one to which I'm devoted... but having said that, I have to confess that I've recently found myself in just such an affair.

I came to terms with it a few days ago when I first sat down and seriously decided on how I'm going to allocate my steem payout on July 4th. When I first joined the platform, I had in mind that I would just cash-out and put 100% of the money towards my business, Fort Galt. Since then though, I've been lured into caring for this platform and its long-term wellbeing. I see and appreciate its potential and want to be a part of its growth. Because of this, my undivided commitment would appear to have been fractured. I've decided to divide my windfall in half, withdrawing some to put towards my business and powering up with the rest. I take my commitments seriously but on the other hand, there's a much bigger picture to consider here and it's my opinion that supporting Steemit is worth cheating on Fort Galt... so there you have it, everyone. I broke my rule for you. Don't let me down.
