That feeling you get when you buy more steem power (but know you really shouldn't!)

Hi Folks

So: What with the price of STEEM falling in the last week...along with upvoting probably way too much, my steem power just doesn't seem to be having the same effect as it did two weeks ago! :'-(

Well, there's only one thing for it then: Buy moaaare steem power (right?!!!) :)

Actually, i feel a bit bad for powering up some more as I really don't need it. (As well it quite likely being a pretty crazy thing to do when you already have a lot tied up in it.)

But, conversely, if we want to expand the user base of steemit by 10x, then we probably need 10x more in funding to keep the same level of payouts. And the only way that can happen is if somehow we increase the market cap by a similar factor too (right?). And the only the way that can happen is if more people start buying STEEM and powering up! Right, so I don't feel so bad, then :)

DISCLAIMER!: The caption in the meme is supposed to be ironic. I.e., I'm not suggesting buying steem is actually a good idea - in fact, I'm hinting that buying steem power could well be a crazy/not good idea! The price of steem can go down as well as up. As well as going to zero(!) Do not buy more than you can afford to lose. Etc. This is not investment advice!

Making me want to buy moar steem!

I upvote!! I know it's not much, but i wanna help you to get your steem mate!

You are kind. Following you!! @bayrene, I am already your follower :)

Guys let's all circle jerk with @Bayrene here :P

Cool ;)

Steem price will rise as the time will past, it is already 10x as per my information and right now we are in a bear market, will see bull trend soon and steem will cross ATH and reach to $3+ this time. so no worries and yeh lets buy more steem power to equalize the money flowing in demand.

Let's all hope so!! Thanks for your comment :)

I guess thats the right way, i just cant afford :D Hard life

Maybe something to consider if and you do have savings. It's normally recommended to have a balenced portolio e.g. Property, stocks, bonds ... but along with that a small amount crypto could (or equally it might not) provide some return on your investment.

I understand what you mean my man... But im just some really poor student. I was shocked about this upvote, 14.44 $ for one comment? Mate who are you? Are you Jesus? You aren't or?

Just joking but.. To be honest, if you would upvote one of my comments with this amount everyday i would get more money then i actually have to deal with in a month ^^ So thank you and have some good night!

Hehe... I'm just a trader who was lucky to make a good return on the recent bubble in crypto! There are way richer people on steemit than me (and most of these didn't even have to buy their steem 'cause they mined it during the semi-secret launch, which was nice for them of course :) ). If you want to see the rich list, just have a look at https://steemwhales.com!

My current steem power is now pretty depletely so I think im going have to completely rein back upvoting replies after today (so pretty much on no more comments for a while). But since that was such a nice post I can give you one extra upvote for your last comment too :)

Well, sometimes you need luck! I'm really happy about your support brother! You don't need to upvote my posts.. im no greedy man, but im still happy ofc :) I upvoted all of your stuff but its just 0.01$ :D Thank you for showing me this site, but im looking for interesting people, like you seem to be, since you are answering my comments..

And its just awesome to get 16 USD on one comment bro, i just love you really much haha. And im sad to tell you, you wont get rid off me that fast, hope you can live with that ^^ gn8

Lol / thanks. No worries, hehe. Have a good day :)

Working title: Confessions of a STEEMaholic. Lol

Once I get a good return from my ico, I'll do this too. I think it is always a good idea to buy steem and power up. In the (still far) future it would be nice to curate ^_^

Hehe! Great!
Hope it all works out for you :)

I'm positive it would! Just a matter of 'when' (wink). Hehe

Haha, I had to do it. Have a nice day. ;)

Good for you!

And .... you put my name in the caption of one of my favourite memes! Cheers :)
Gotta upvote :)

Cheers. You made my day. :)

Genial, gracias por compartirlo lo tendré en cuenta :) @xaero1

Hey I think you're the first person that resteeemed me. Awesome! Thank you very much :D

De nada !! Esta bueno tu post, claro lo que pude traducir con google jajaja @xaero1

¡Muchas gracias! :D

Great analysis, xaero! I also see this community as a fascinating "work in progress" . We do not know yet where this will end. A year ago I was not even aware of how this could work and today I see brilliant posts and things happening in real life. We are talking about people, about conferences/steemfests, even buying islands together. WOW.

That is the reason that i wanted to give some trust to steemit. I also powered up by exchanging my bitcoin to steeem. I hope itwill work out.

I have confidence in the people, the writers, artists and commenters. Thanks!

Great comment! :)

Converting BTC to STEEM is what I've been doing too :D (and hope to do again in the future).

Thanks very much for your kind words.

Ok, see you around! Thanks for your sincere upvotes, like a real gentleman!

I give you my full, simple, small 100% vote. Appreciate your approach.

I've only been on steem a few days,I didn't really now what to think of it,so I started off with just buying £25 worth of steem and I don't regret it. Definetly buying more next time,I know it's hardly anything,but I'm sure if everyone purchased just a little amount,even that would make a difference.

Great comment!

Hopefully it will be a win-win situation - more people start investing and holding steem, ideally it starts getting used more and more as a currency (so people don't have to cash out) and moreover it's possible it provides a great return on investment through the rewards. Anyway, that is my hope and reason for investing but only time if this (radically new) economic model will work out!

Totally agree.

Thanks ,totally agree only time will tell

if i can totally afford to buy SP i would buy some... 😞😞😞
