That's right..
- I had more than 4500 SP at the time I decided to power down.
The thing is, that I had a few rough months so I had to do it. - Especially when I found out that I could cash out a few extra hundreds per week by doing it.. - This money have made tons of things easier for me so I'm still glad I powered down. Otherwise, I would've had a much more difficult time, so it basically saved me. Steemit saved me.
However, I still feel like a stupid moron.
- And why?
For the past few weeks now, I'm been following my passion, 101%. I stream and I share gaming related content. I work tons of hours to build an awesome "community". - And if I could've powered down today instead, I would've been able to purchase this:
A webcam, a green screen and a professional studio microphone. That's my main goal today. - That's what I'm aiming for. To improve my stream.
I love to stream and I love to interact with my audience. No matter if it's followers on my twitch channel, casual viewers who's stopping by for a few minutes or friends and family. I love to socialize. - That's also why it's important to me to improve my stream as much as I can.
- And that's why I feel like a total moron when I see things like this:
Don't take this the wrong way..
I love to see how much the value of Steem and Steem dollars have grown and I wish it will skyrocket even further obviously.. But at the same time.. I kind of hate myself, because of my stupid decision to power down during the time it was worth less.. - That way, I've lost way more than I would've done if I powered down today.
- Luckily, I've never been on Steemit because of the money.. But I've always seen the rewards as a huge bonus.
The rewards can and still will come, as I'll continue to contribute.. - But sometimes, life get's in the way.. And sometimes, you'll do things you'll regret. - I don't regret my decision, but I'm really sad over the fact that I had to power down.
If you've done something similar.. - Don't fear. You'll be back in no time. It's never to late to change things! - And Steemit will help you reach your new goals!
Do not get bad dear friend @hitmeasap you have done for a good cause, you have not overdrawn the money but to fulfill your needs, things happen for some reason, you will see that everything began to flow. I wish you good luck dear friend @hitmeasap
Thank you very much, I appreciate it :)
Lesson learned I guess, but it's still early days for steemit, and you can reinvest again soon hopefully, good luck with it all.
Thank you and yeah, lesson learned. The thing is, that I always knew that it would be a pretty dumb thing to do, to power down that is, but I couldn't find any other reasonable solution, so I literally had to do it. - Any how, it was a sad thing to do, but it wasn't like the last nail in the coffin. It's still the early days, just like you said. :)
I wouldn't say idiot, just learning, we learn the most from mistakes. cheers
Well, I didn't learn from this, I knew what was about to happen actually. Long before I started to power down... But I couldn't find an easier, more suitable solution for the problems I faced, so a power down was more or less inevitable at the time. I just wish I could've found a better solution. Thank you though, I appreciate your comment!
It might be best to do the equivalent of dollar cost averaging. If you want to power down, say, 5000 SP, do it 500 a time, once a week, for ten weeks.
