I like it.
You can see so many people running out of the markets but if you believe in the project why would you sell. The prices are only reflecting the market trends not the true value of the product. Like STEEM I feel that the current price is a long way from its true value and where it will be in a couple of years.

Those quotes are amazing. I may never profit as much as others but as long as I only invest what I am willing to lose I will be okay.
Funny, it's no surprise that the cryptocurrency market is like every other financial market: unpredictable. All these quotes underline the fact that more and more investors believe that blockchain is here to stay.

We aim to simplify the transaction process in order to make crypto accessible to all.
