Is it time to be in "Panic Mode"? I was scrolling through Steemit this whole weekend and I see fear in the streets of people complaining about the cryptocurrency markets falling. π±
Should I buy, Should I sell..... "What Should I Do Charles, Help Me" I find these types of questions very amusing at times. ππ€£
If you are a "Real Investor"... price swings should never matter if you're in it for the long run. When investing in anything, pick your buying positions. That's all you have to do.
When I seen Steemit platform about 60 days ago, I wrote out a game plan to buy Steem anywhere from $.50-$2.20 picking up positions every week regardless of the price. πΈ
The reason I did this is because I believe in the platform so much and that it will reach about $10 in the next 6-12 months. When that time happens, I plan to take some Steem off the table. π€
"WOW Charles, Are you planning to sell if it goes up to $10? Isn't that a bad influence to your fellow followers on Steemit?" π
Not Exactly, When selling my Steem when it reaches my price target of $10... I only plan to sell about 13% per week, however my value of my account will not drop.Β
Let me explain, during that time... I plan to post daily and curating heavy at that time, creating more Steem power and SBD dollars to replenish what I took out. π¬
This is the reason, I don't care what the price is today... I don't plan to sell any time soon. As the price dips, Those are major buying opportunities for me and to my fellow Steemians! ππΌ ππΌ
Let me ask something... Do you have a game plan?... or are you just going day by day looking at the price of Steem and panicking?Β π
I believe that is just a waste of time... Instead of watching the charts everyday,Β start creating great content and invests the money you create into large amounts of Steem. π
Have a great week guys, be back MaΓ±ana. π€£

I agree, I was picking up in the last 60 days, as low as possible, and still buying.
Long haul, this train is going places; you gotta wait for the tracks to cross the continent, and you have to believe in the vision.. ;-)
Totally Right, Have a good game plan in place. I'm like, LET'S GO!! :)
The primary problem I see with the platforum is that new users will have little to no motivation to use a platform that won't reward them (even though it would be technically possible, it's not really feasable for most regular users to earn). There are also limitations with the site functionality that stand in the way of mass adoption. I'd love to see it work, I just have doubts.
I share these doubts especially with the vote power issue where people with hogh SP keep the power for themselves and don't help anyone else which causes a lot of people, present company included, to post a lot less than they used to. Its really unmotivating to get $1.50 on a post you spent an hour or two to research cite and post and see 30 people see it and only five upvote it and even then only at 1%. I always vote with 100%. If we got rid of self voting and made each upvote equal the platform would do A LOT BETTER! Great reply and Steem-On my friend, even though HF19 caused some trouble. But on the good news eSteem the app is getting a lot better. Not there yet but there is hope and I think a lot of people invested mentally into the platform. We can easily overtake Twitter and Instagram if done correctly. And no Censorship! No Ad-pocalypse!
I totally agree with this!
you just started... do you really expect major rewards when you're brand new. people who started a year ago are doing pretty good. are you gonna be one of the people still playing next year?
Well, the platform is only 1 year old, so yes, the people that started a year ago are doing well... I am going to keep trying it for awhile. I believe I will be here in a year. I've started to move some of my other coin here, so I'm not planning on quitting anytime soon. Still, spending a lot of time on a post and "earning" .50 is really bad. I get bigger adsense clicks than that.
I must be one sick puppy.
Currently drooling over the possibility of loading up on sub $1 STEEM.
Most people be running and panicking at $1 steem.... we will be saying, lets get the truck and start loading some steem lol
Just keep calm, use Steemit as before and keep earning till the tide turns around again. All the Steem you earn these days can become valuable in the future. Enjoy your time at Steemit while earning and over the long run it will be (probably) very rewarding!
Hitting The Nail On The Head... keep creating or even buying steem power weekly. Have no emotions in the game plan and enjoy life, You got it @michiel :)
Great post as always dude! "Real investors" and smart entrepreneurs feel no emotion when it comes to these swings...they're all just a normal part of the game called "variance."
Damn that a pretty meteoric rise to where you're at now on this platform! Congrats, you deserve it :)
Appreciate it @theywillkillyou, I took a look at it in AUG 2016 for like 10 minutes and forgot all about it. LOL
Yeah I decided to start like 40 days ago, tons of cool people here. Just getting use to it and learning tons of new stuff recently.
You should roll by my steemit fb group I just created, we have like 500 people :)
Will definitely be doing that today!
Good Morning stackin
$10 in the next 6-12 months - I like this sentence π π
a lot
@kam.ila
You like that @kam.ila? :) ... I could be wrong but guess what, if it does go to $10... I'll be praised as a crypto god haha
Agree 100% and i like your buy and sell position strategy. Crypto trading is a business and you need to take the emotion of of it to be successful.
Steemit as a platform is going to be huge - just look at all the new users this month - that's why I feel confident about accumulating STEEM during the dips. Steemit investors will be rewarded big time in the near future!
I see the same thing as you do, toooo many people are so emotional then make big mistakes. I 100% agree :)
I have been here since last September and plan on continuing to do what I do. I love this platform, corrections are always a healthy thing for something building a solid foundation. This is part of the process and an opportunity to get more steem all the way up. It's all good right @stackin we are enjoying this wonderful experience. Steeming on!!!!
I totally agree with you @sunscape, I am enjoying my 40th day on steem. I just need to buy more steem haha
Keep up the great posts, I love seeing them
Great perspective.
You are awesome @gringalicious ... do I have to go to your blog today? It makes me hungry every time I go there haha... fine, I'll visit it agian :)
Hahaha. So cute. Your scared view from the picture above is gold worth :-)
Just powered 1,5k steem up ;-) If the price is high I prefere to have a decent amount liquid but now it is more imprtant to have the full voting power to support my friends like you @stackin. Steem on.
Upvoted and resteemed ;-)
I had the scared look face ... I need to be charging my power like you :)
There is nothing to complement my friend! Steem on
I have to catch up comments, its getting harder and harder :) STEEM ON @homeartpictures
The entire altcoin market is sinking because everyone is withdrawing their bitcoin from exchanges in anticipation of the Aug 1st UASF fiasco. As a result, much less buy support and buyers in general on the major exchanges.
Totally agree bit 148, research is saying 80% agree... so, time to buy the whole month of july :)
That's a very good strategy, Its a good idea to just buy the dips a long the way. You will be rewarded!!
If it even drops to .80, I would be like load up the tractor trailers LOL
I would be smakin and stackin stacks at that price!!
I agree every time you buy below 2,50 is a steal (just like silver ounces below 20), always go in and follow your plan!
I plan on buying on the next dip (pricetarget 1,25 or so)!
It's getting close... looking good :)
Very well said! Thanks very much for the idea. This is a gem my dear!
I'm not gonna be curating or writing articles. I just love the community but yes, this is definitely a good idea.
Totally fine, tons of people just love reading :)
It is good you have a game plan for sure! Once a person gets to a point where they can pay themselves the minimum threshold that makes doing a post "worth it" to them it would be a great feeling. It takes so much pressure off hoping it gets seen.
I'm executing my game plan too. GO HAM! π· And bring home the BACON! π₯
You are going tooo HAMMMM :) ... I agree with you, to many people ten to quit to early before they see results, they will never make it without patience. :)
If it was easy, everyone would do it! It is survival of the fittest out there!
Great post and strategy. I also see STEEM hitting that target in that timeframe. When we had that dip last week or two weeks ago and everyone was panic selling I was buying just like I am buying Physical Silver right now. With STEEM I bought in at rhe start with $20 and it was worth like eleven cents. Should have dropped a bill and powered up but lesson learned. With Physical Silver I was buying at $20 and then when it dropped to $17 and everyone was going crazy talking anout selling everything. I even had a friend of mine who sold me his entire stack of around 40oz for under spot and even a few grams of Gold under spot and am now very happy that I did not have to pay any online premium to get that metal in my hands. I definitely see STEEM going up but still think the platform needs some key improvements to go mainstream. Encryption and the entire concept will be very foreign to a lot of people. I ppan on making a video and posting it here and on YouTube to help others get an account and start posting and investing so we should get some price hump when that hurdle is overtaken. The platform has a lot to offer and I think if the devs do it right STEEMIT will be here for years to come and that $10 we will blow right past and could hit $20 or higher in the next year as you get panic buyers drunk on FOMO. And totally agree with your plan of selling off new earnings and making sure you earn while you are divesting and taking profits. That is the best way to go. As someone who does not put in cash into the platform how do I earn the most in curation? Simply Resteem or is there something else I should be doing? I prefer leaving comments to posting but do both. Just wondering your thoughts on the matter. Just got over 300+ followers today so I am psyched! About to hit 1,000 posts as well! Thanks for the post and you got yourself another follower. Steem-On!
Great comment my man... silver is taking a hit right now also and people are seeing it going to $10-$12. I am like WOW, I still like silver the best, they don't call me STACKIN for nothin hahaha
Good job on your 1000 post! Followed back :)
You just wrote a blog about what I was thinking. Crazy! great minds think alike. lol
If you look real close at my profile picture you can see me winking.
You didn't know @captainbviou3 ... I am an Asian Mind Reader LOL
Too funny. on the real, I saw that you un-followed me. heart broken. We started at the same time...I thought we were homies...crying noises*
I have the same strategy with you @stackin. I'm not worried about the price a bit. All I tried to do is to grow my Steemit account. Because I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah, I wouldn't be worried about the price like most people are... i am doing this lol
Investing is a gamble, people should not panic or put their cards on their table just yet. Just put on your best poker face on and keep on playing!β οΈ
I am a gamblin mannnn... that's why I love in Vegas haha
Roll the dice baby, roll the dice lolβ£οΈ
Ah gotta love the markets once you understand the game your good to go. Been picking up steem on every possible dip so far goal is 5000 by end of this month!
5000! Better not catch up to me, you are going to make me work harder haha.
That's it Charles. My main focus is on steadily creating helpful content, networking with the big dawgs through commenting and sharing content, stacking some Steem, some Bitcoin and taking it from there. Like any venture, cowering to your fear over daily fluctuations/changes is an amateur hour mistake. Gotta have a vision to make things happen over the long haul.
Yeahhh, I like that. "Keep on Stackin". Forget all that noise out there and HODL! LOL
Just bought some steem a few minutes ago at $1.52 each. The real question for me is should I buy some TENX which was selling for $10 a couple of days ago and now it's selling for $0.85 with potential to go back up.
That's a nice price... I am going to look later. TENX, I have no idea... make it easy and buy more steem power haha
I happen to have written a nice post about TENX detailing everything. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jeezzle/is-tenx-a-dead-dog-or-an-investment-opportunity
No need to panic here. Steem is on sale. Buy, Buy Buy.
Whats up @wthomas... we think the same way :)
inspirational @stackin
It's great to have a plan and i love yours :)
I try @hahhahlicious lol .. It just has to pan out or I look like a donkey jk haha
haha :) positive thinking!!!
Yes, the price goes up and the price goes down. Should we panic? No, we should be blogging when it's up and we should be blogging when it's down. Remember if everyone stopped blogging on Steemit, then we should panic. So don't stop Blogging. We don't have time to panic.
You are right @david777111 ... what if everyone stopped posting on FB for free, goodbye fb lol :)
Price dips like this are the perfect opportunity to invest. The masses will panic when they see drops like this thinking "omg, I'm gonna lose so much money", instead of thinking "omg, I can invest and get more for my money, then sell later at a higher price."
Totally right @kurttasche! I lost 6 years of my life with facebook, instagram and twitter hahaha
The crypto markets will rise and fall day to day and week to week. I agree those fluctuations aren't important as long as key metric like new Steemit users continues to climb. Content is king!
100% agree with you and I have nothing else to top that haha
Everyday i buy STEEM on market with SBD and powering up.
i really hope that STEEM price will go below 1$, so i can accumulate more and more!
You sure you want it to go to $1, everyone on steemit will start complaining haha
Well, if you are investing on a regular basis (which you are if you're doing it weekly) then the price is actually completely irrelevant (Okay, unless maybe it 10x rapidly, but then you;d already hit your mark anyway so it would not be buying time ;) ).
This is easy math (Okay, maybe not that easy :D But it's math anyways :D). On average you will even earn more by regular investing regardless of the variation/fluctuation as if you were "waiting" for the right price, even if you will be buying for higher later down the road as the price keep going up.
It might be counter-intuitive but it's true :)
This all makes sense to me, trying to explain to 90% newbies here about that haha... there all emotional :)
Yeah, I know. Those humans with emotions, weird :D.
(Though I used to play poker profesionally so a small part of me actually genuinly finds it weird :that more people don't understand randomness and get emotional about their losses, and even wins :D )
Hey Charles,
From a real trader's perspective, this is an excellent post and deserved the upvote. You have a clear plan for the position that you're building and you have planned for price changes so aren't going to either panic sell or worse, turn your red trade into an 'investment'.
ALWAYS have a plan for what you're going to do with a position for all price scenarios. Up, down, sideways.
NEVER turn a losing trade into an investment. It is nothing but a losing trade, you just didn't follow your plan.
I wrote about why you can't turn a trade into an investment on my blog here and this echos that sentiment perfectly :)
Great points! People should follow your lead :)
Thanks mate.
All about having that plan. If you know the scenarios that will unfold there there is no need to stress. You know what you are going to do already.
Only a fool would panic and dump right now. Buy all you can while it's low!
There are a lot of fools out there πππ
Since I have not much stake in cryptocurrencies and even with the little I have, I'm holding for the long term so as you mentioned it doesn't affect me much although I must admit that it's still painful to see what I have deplete in value. On the same note, this also seems like a good time to pick steem and others up at a what some might call a sale. Yes, I also believe in Steemit and in a certain way think that it's only a matter of time that steem will rise in value.
I totally agree, just make it simple and accumulate small amounts per week :)
I honestly believe @steem will gain traction within a few months to come because its not the only currency that took hit
That's the truth... For a very select few, they want it to go down so they can double up :)
Yes, panic, sell everything, hide under your blanket until I tell you it's safe to come out and buy back in at a higher price :)
Have no fear lol
Haha! To bi-winning my friend!
Did some Charlie Sheen Action ππ
I freekin love this face tooo funny haha! Great post thank you :) @stackin
My fear face haha :)

It's happy time when Steem hits lows, I always get happy buying a bit more!
I am happy today haha
Full 100% and resteemed :-)
Always awesome reading your post especially when you open up your playbook and share with all of us. That's The question of the day do you have a plan? Are you really in it for the long-haul? Gut check and as newbies need to stop freaking out and calm down trust the process!
Yeah man, most people don't even have a game plan in anything they do in their lives. Zombies haha
I'm not really at a point where I have a huge investment in steem, but I feel like it is really going to grow as a platform and if you believe that then you should keep investing in it. When I talk about it to friends they love the idea of it, but I think the learning curve and unfriendly posting interface needs to be refined before it really takes off in the United States.
If they can't learn this and take a day by challenging themselves, they would of already quit weeks down the road lol Keep on stackin :)
you don't lose money until you sell your crypto
Exactly! You don't lose unless you sell for less than what you paid. And here on Steemit you should only buy in enough that you get good rewards and always buy during dips like me. That is what true investors always do. Like Silver. Now is a great time to buy as prices are very low.
That is plain facts :)
soon it will rise again, steem is one of the altcoin by this time.. better than eos..
I hope not, I want to buy more :)
Always buy :)
Yes sir!
It will be interesting to see how it goes. I just wish I had more cash to invest now.
What you can do is start creating awesome blog posts and get steem for free :)
Great post my man and wholeheartedly agree, earned a vote and resteem there bud.
Appppppreshhhh boss :)
You're right man, why panicking? The future is just ours! :)
LOAD IT UP!! π π―
How much haha
@stackin π― hahaha
Keep picking up that steem! In it to win, scared money don't make money π°
I totally agree but just lost some, oh wells... i'm going to make more haha
When it drops, I see dollar signs. Great time to jump aboard!
Cash Money LOL
