buy half steem now and half in a bit maybe.. I don't think everything will steady out one way or another until after the hardfork, so we may see another drop before then, who knows.. And I would suggest you look into antshares if your going to look into any other coins.. It is apparently big in the east.. And you just get the antshares wallet and stake the coins. I can show you where a calculator is that shows you how much you would stake over time.. Let me know
