Now, the thing that happens with this is an investment mindset, that this is not something to just make a quick profit on today, to take it out and put it in our wallet, and celebrate, but that this is a long-term investment, that we serve on Steem, and we contribute to the blockchain on Steem.
Thanks @jerrybanfield for this.
I think I need to tweak my mindset to see investing in Steemit platform by using my posts payout to get steem power an important investment.
I've read everything you said using @joeparys account as an example and I clearly align with you on this. Truly, it's better to invest instead of rushing to cash out.
The importance of investment first comes into play when you see that those that invested are doing good and at a certain point they tend to recover from their investment - showing that their investment finally paid out.
Seeing the growth of steem, how steem blockchain seems to scale well, performs faster transactions, gets more applications built ontop of it and solves real life and world issues; without doubt I will say that those who invest now will reap the benefits in future - **just like those who invested early on bitcoins.
Long term investment always pays off
We are likely to make the investment of a lifetime in ourselves and in Steem by taking our Steem Dollars earnings, trading them on the market to buy Steem.
This sums up everything
Thanks once again for this eye opening and educative post. I remain grateful.
