Sometimes all you need is a good night sleep to feel much better and positive.
I've started to buy more STEEM and powering that up.
Just a little bit on top of what I can earn everyday.
In the end I figured if a million users bought just 7 STEEM each there would be no more liquid STEEM to go around.
I believe that all the projects build on top of the blockchain will make this place grow, by adding more users and that STEEM will be more wanted in the future than it is now.
I'm also guessing this will not happen gradually.
I bought 5000 SBD and using that to slowly buy STEEM everyday under $2.
I also never powered down in two years! Every Steempower I ever earned and bought is still here.

wow that is awesome. I admire you for not powering down for two years. How much Steem power did you have when you started out here?
And that is how I started.
This is amazing and for two years you have more than 100k SP. Really great job my friend
Greetings, great exyle
I see clearly that your strong belief that steem platform grow and most importantly, the steem currency will appreciate. I also bought some steem power. Not like you, that are powerful, but, to a middle-class Brazilian who works every day, I was able to buy a decent amount. In addition, there are those who won here with my posts.
With this immense fall of bitcoin that makes other currencies fall, I'm afraid to be just falling and never go up or never reach the top record. What do you think about the hight of the criptomoedas this fall?
Also, I know it will be released the smt, in addition to other projects. You know when that happens??? I'm looking forward to seeing the increment of value and that listing will flip steem.
Thank you for posting and good afternoon!!
small part not long ago. Your timing is definitely better than mine!Good morning @exyle. Great post to see you have elected to invest some more in our Steem Community. I did my
As one of your followers, may I make a request on this post? Would you please take some more time to explain your thought process in investing like this? For example, when I wanted to buy more Steem Power, I just bought it through the link on my wallet.
Instead of that "direct" approach, you reference buying Steem and powering up to Steem Power. Is that approach more advantageous for the rest of us to consider in the future?
Any details on how you choose to invest in the 3 different "crypto" options woudl be most welcome. If you (others) have covered this topic in detail on some other post, a simple link to it would be fine. New to our Steem Community and simply want to learn all I can.
Thank you in advance for your help @exyle!

If you just want more SP then just buying SP as you did is a good way to go about things. I guess you used blocktrades.
If you want a slightly better deal (but more hassle) you can also buy STEEM on an exchange. Send it to your wallet and power it up.
I choose to go the SBD ---> STEEM ---> Steempower because.
I like to buy gradually.
An SBD is always worth $1 worth of STEEM (convert function in the blockchain). So even though I bought a lot of SBD I can be sure it won't loose much of it's value (max $1.25 (current value) ---> $1).
The markets are bearish. So If STEEM goes much lower I get more bang for my buck. (example if STEEM would go 0,50 cent I get 2 STEEM for 1 SBD).
If the markets go up SBD would most likely go up with it. (If STEEM goes > $2 I stop buying).
This is my reasoning based on the investment I already have.
For me, buying the SBD first and slowly converting it to STEEM is more of a hedge against falling STEEM prices. If STEEM goes up (>$2) I'm happy with what I got.
I hope this made sense.
For what it is worth @exyle, from a "minnow," I am following up on my commitment below to let you know I have now cast one of my 30 votes for you as Witness.
OK, agreed, not exactly a "world record" follow-up / response time, but in the "real world" I take voting very seriously, given what it represents in "blood and treasure" in the history of my country ... I wanted, therefore, to be more clear as to what my vote represents. Still a long way to go in that, but here I am ...
Why have I followed through? From what I have read so far, there is a lot of "passion" amongst the various witnesses and witness “wannabes” discussing matters "high over the head" of most of us. From my limited understanding, not "knowing" any of the personalities involved, I support your philosophy written down for us all to see.
The toughest part? While “new in here,” I have a lot of experience in the “real world” with business and the all-important, fundamental issue of human nature. The key to me, therefore, is personal integrity. Very simple definition to me – “… do the actions match the words? …”
So ... How would I know? Where is the accountability? There is the heart of the problem for me. I simply do not know. What I am left with then, is simply taking a man at his word. Personal integrity …
I can only hope, until I learn of options for confirmation, that you have it @exyle! All the best to you, then, in your resolute support of all of our efforts to build our Steem Community.

It absolutely makes sense. I asked, as I figured you had some well thought out strategy, so was hoping to learn something. Thank you for sharing!
Beyond that, while still new "in here," I have seen enough to make a decision on a significant next step. I am going to respond to your request for support in voting for you as a witness. A lot yet for me to learn about what exactly this all entails, but you have my commitment here that I will be supporting you with my vote.
That said, leadership carries with it a significant responsibility. I can see from other posts that our fellow Steemians have been let down by others whom they supported as Witnesses. Don't let me down!
All the best to you @exyle. Response upvoted 100%. Keep up the good work!

Yes, please @exyle. I would also appreciate your perspective on this and understanding this important part of being a Steemian better.
Mark @exyle I dropped @jerrybanfield as my PROXY and I immediately Voted for @blockbrothers myself. I have no qualms with Jerry I just figured it was Time for me to Put on my Big Boy Pants and not leave the Witness decisions to someone else........ @stokjockey votes for:
aggroed blockbrothers blocktrades curie jesta klye lukestokes.mhth netuoso pharesim reggaemuffin teamsteem themarkymark utopian-io yabapmattI love the idea of voting for a witness
and drop it when necessary.
I know that is not democracy.
Got to do with decentralization
Blockbrothers are there for true steemians.
a very bold and wise decision
That's a good one, taking so steem off the market will reduce it's liquidity and might eventually take up it's price.
I have never powered down, I just hope I continually making enough sbd and Steem so i don't have to power down.
Post regularly.
Being happy is one thing and doing what you like to be the best is another, in the life determination and consistency matter, I respect your decision on this, if we could have more people like yourself contributing their total for the evolvement of steemit, we will all have a course to feel relax since our future here is does certain. #$100 steem in couple years.
@exyle, I added @blockbrothers to my vote for witness
Thanks for the support!
I have been gathering small amounts here and there daily almost too. This is the time I think. There is no point looking back wishing you had gotten in when it was this price in future. Even little bits here and there all add up!! :OD
That's how I see it too. All that 10-20 cent steem we earned is now $1,60. Given enough time I can see double digits.
Me too. And that gives a happy shiver!!
I’m also trying to power up as much as possible, during bear market trends I think it’s good to focus on Steem, because even though the value of the crypto market is decreasing over all, you can increase your number of Steem by posting on Steemit.
While many stop posting during times like this I think this is the time to be the most active. When we see another bull run it’s going to be well worth it
You are 100% correct.
Morning @Exyle. I haven't cheked the price yet today and I will be travelling all day so won't be buying right now.
Please would you explain why you bought SBD rather than Steem directly? Is that for the reasons you said in your recent post?
so, you're not saying you bought 5000 SBD to exchange to Steem but you had already bought 5000 SBD and you have now decided buy Steem with that to steadily power that up?
Why don't you just power up the SBD on the internal market?
If you cover this in the video don't worry about answering. I can't play it right now. I often have problems with DLive. Just let me know and I'll try and listen later. Thanks! 😁
I don't cover this. The reason I bought SBD to change to STEEM is that I can do it gradually over time (my style). If STEEM goes lower I get a better deal. If STEEM goes much much lower I can convert SBD to STEEM with a function in the blockchain. If STEEM goes above $2 I can wait and see.
Great. Thanks @exyle.
So is your SBD sitting in your Steemit wallet? And, if so, are you powering up there or do you get a better deal buying Steem with your SBD elsewhere?
With other crypto I usually use blocktrades for convenience. (but bittrex gives a slightly better deal). SBD I just trade on the internal market for steem.
So when you trade SBD for Steem @exyle on the internal market, do you not mind that you get a lot less than 1 Steem for it?
You already have my vote. You are one of very few witnesses I know who also invest in buying Steem Power. So keep up the great work. I'm a big fan of steemify.
Thanks for the continued support for @blockbrothers. And glad to read you enjoy Steemify!
I love the positivity @exyle! I could use some of it myself after getting a bit frustrated with the bear market and some of the fundamental issues with steemit at the moment. Thanks
Glad to hear you found your direction and vision for going forward. The markets can be depressing ,but the way we look at is just keep pushing forward.
Just followed @blockbrothers :-) Considering the great job done on Steemify, that's the least I can do.
I go to upvote you as a witness thanks for create good content and believe in this platform.
I like the idea of buying SBD and it is cheaper.
Good advise for all steemiansGood call, I did buy some #steem too. You have been around for ever (since I join #steem)
I realised that STEEM blockchain was going to be big earlier this year, and now I wake up everyday thinking how much I´ll love to collect my "fruits" from being a relatively early adopter.
"Feijoada" is a very traditional food from Portugal and Brazil _:D
Portugal vs Spain was definitely a big surprise, especially the amount of goals, but the most incredible thing for me was Ronaldo getting back to score from a free kick, its been a while.
You are doing great, this is a good time to buy more steem. It may be the last time we see such low prices. I voted blockbrothers as witness sometime back , I support the good work you guys are doing and your amazing steemify app. Well done :)
Thanks for the support man!
Great work in a very beautiful time.Youhad brought sbd in the minimum prices so that you can be benefited if the price of steem will be down more.Very intelligent work ,good luck dear.
That's one Of the good thing I learn from you friend
I just buy some steem few days back to power up too, much more are still coming.
I have cast my upvote on blockbrothers some months back, you guys has really done a great work up there.
Dear @exyle, I supported you a few days ago voting to be a witness to @blockbrothers and it is a pleasure to be able to collaborate with everything I can. Greetings.
You are getting it at discount prices! Especially since SMTs will probably increase the demand, i doubt we will ever see it as low as 1.7$!
I hope so.
Your doing good. :)
I do also believe Steem has some great future.
It's a great plan and analysis,steemit and it's future is based on people with your attitude
Awesome video. So informative
what an amazing place this is! Just amazing.
Cool... I all time but 50% back here what I not take out.
Pretty cool you have been powering up from a long time that's just great and that just shows the confidence you have in steem project which is cool right time to accumulate some more :)
Good to hear you are bathing in positivity and I have just voted @blockbrothers as witness today (I was surprised I wasn't already voting this way having met you briefly in London and watching various vlogs)....yes Portugal vs Spain will be difficult to top.
It sure is a great time to be buying Steem. While that is indeed great to know about that you have never powered down.
While congrats on the achievement of 2000 W.Votes in blocktrades.
just followed :D
Great video! Keep it up!
Very cool that you are continuing to buy into the platform that has been so good to you. I am slowly working on powering up any rewards I get and moving them into more SP. I am hoping the climb from 200 to 500 goes faster than the one from 25 to 160 has been, but I have a feeling that won't be the case!
