People are buying BTC hoping that it will jump up after the SEC approves the ETF. However, today the SEC announced that they will delay the announcement till 30 of Sep. People loose their hope and sell for a loss. That's pretty simple and predictable in this market.
Steem is a long term play, you cannot see it jumps up to $5 - $10 in this year, that's for sure. But in the future, who knows?
I'm taking your advice and going to leave.
I see a bigger return on Staking pools so will diversify.
Yep, that can be a way. Otherwise, you can consider to delegate or to lend your SP.
BTW, would you mind sharing your pool?
