I see some stress forming over HF19 needlessly
I know today is exciting due to the nature of the HF19 empowerment going around. We all worked hard here and finally seeing a push ahead from the amazing dev team and system but there is some lingering fears I am hearing as I chat around about this event today.
Right now POLONIEX has their Steem wallets down for maintenance due to the HF. This might be a little blessing in disguise to limit everyone from going nuts and cashing out in droves. Sadly though I went to Bittrex to see how we are doing and it appears people are dumping their extra earnings right now, I get it...sure that was going to happen but I hope everyone here for the long term keeps in mind a little stall to sell could help everyone in the community.
Right now we have a huge opportunity to add some Steem Power to our wallets which can build us up to the top if we view Steemit as a huge long term investment. If we treat this like a huge gold rush we could crash this coin for a bit and I would hate to see that happen. So as a public service announcement I wanted to post this and remind everyone to think in the long term, protect your investment and not low ball your worth due to the new found wealth showing up right now. There is more of that to come if we be vigilant and invest wisely with Steemit.
We all got to pay them bills
I get it though, we have bills to pay, I also have to slip out some of my earnings now and then to provide so its clear to me that we all have our own needs with our personal earnings. Just remember one thing, holding Steem Power is money in the bank as well, consider that your savings account and your huge factor in earning more down the road. I sure don't want to be the guy banking out and regretting it later.
Enjoy the excitement that HF19 provided but lets make sure we keep the Steemit dream alive for all.
