Steem and SBD - Fall and Rise

Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
There are many different events influenced my post today. One of them is that the values of all the Cryptos crushed and many had losses in their investments.
As to Steem and SBD they were not preserved and “bled” like any other.
Have you sold your Steem and cashed it out or have you decided to stay and still Power Up?
Once again when talking about Steem, I would like to mention one more time, when you decided to invest in Crypto then Steem is one of the Cryptocurrencies that only you can influence.
It is not simple buying and holding the amount with hope that it will go up.
In case of Steem you can buy some amount and Power Up as Steem Power, like we did 3 years ago but then while posting and upvoting you will make it possible to grow.
We initially started with couple of hundreds of Steem and now within 3 years there are about 50K SP. But it is not only simply posting and waiting that people come. You need to be seen that means you need to look around and take active part in the activities that will make it possible to really earn Steem.
Like in real life when you want to earn you work or when you have saving account you will not withdraw your money for example because you need to have holiday money or need to spend for nice dinner.
You should make everyhting to make your account grow, even little by little.
We should not forget that Steem is not only a Social Media but this is Decentralized Finance:
- We can earn it
- We can support others
- We can create charities
- We can finance our lives
Steem, should not be a short term investment, if you want to harvest good profit then you should invest and Power Up and not immediately withdraw it.
Steem Power is very important, once having high SP, you can not only be easily seen but you will earn with posting and .... voting.
It was hard to see how Steem value after dramatic fall to below $0.42 on 23-24/05 and my thought was that it is the end of our wonderful raise.
But luckily it is slowly recovering and currently at the time of writing Steem Price is $0.656

The same time it was bitter to see how the Price for SBD went down to $4 USD few days ago, but luckily recovered to even $11USD.
By the time when I was writing 1 SBD= $9,23 USD

I think slowly but surely many users are posting on both platform. People post in Hive because of rewards from different trials. Of course at the end your reward looks good but think about the final earnings and look at the look at the screenshots


At the end Steem Value is still more stable and recovered quite quickly. Even if it looks like that you earn less, at the end if you convert both Crypto Dollars you see that with Steem you benefit much more.
- Hive Dollar 1.04
- Steem Dollar 9.23



Great post, fully support
Thank you and glad that we have the same opinion :)
Saya beberapa waktu lalu menjual steem saya, karena ada kebutuhan keuangan. Semoga nanti saya bisa power up Sp saya
Tq for sharing
It is always a dilemma what to do. For example now we think why we did not buy more Steem last year when the price was about $0,18-0,20, then now it would be much more. Now to buy it is too expensive. But in some situation there is no other choice.
Hearing that the price would be 60 cents now in May compared to the low of of roughly 12 cents back in December would make anyone happy it's the price swings in between that can make people upset short term.
Yes, the price is swinging a lot lately. I am glad that SBD stays quite stable and strong. That allows to get good exchange at the end :)
Nice and informative Post. Thank you! 💖
(I like your drawing, too.😄)
Thank you Stefany, glad you like my painting :)
In my case I did put in some buy orders (for other cryptos) on the dip, hoping it will go up again in future.
Nice post.
Yes, sometimes just need the time to wait till some of the Crypto will go up but it is difficult to predict which of them would be successful :)
Cryptos are always risky... always have been. Doubt that's going to change anytime soon.
I continue to just let it slowly build. I see my Steem as a kind of long term savings account. Hopefully it will have a nice balance by 2025!
You are right, like in the case of Bitcoin, it was enough just one expression of Elon Musk and the rate of all Cryptos went down.
I believe Steem is easy to earn and even investing little, it is possible to get more with engagement :)
Great post Stef. Thanks for sharing.👍
Thank you for stopping by :)
I just Joined Steemit Recently in May, and am sure this is going to be the future's most trending platform. I loved this as one can showcase his/her work and get Genuine rewards and comments from people who love creativity. Loved your Post and Your art is Phenomenal. Kudos to you .
When you are at very beginning it is hard to get started, people need to learn more people and communities. But after some time it will be easier :)
