well said.. :)

Thank you for motivating and helping people to give you information

Great investment tips
The market is really bleeding

Stimme die absolut zu, was du in deinem Post schreibst. Egal wieviel man hat, sollte man ein bisschen STEEM kaufen. Ich persönlich mache das immer einmal im Monat. Da kauft man mal teuer, mal billiger, der Durchschnitt macht's aus. Würde auch mehr kaufen, das geht sich leider nicht aus.

@modernpastor thank you so much for this motivation. As I was also busy somewhere in my Family Matter that's why I was not much connected here. But Now I am Back and I will take advantage as much as possible.

Though I may not buy steem i this current situation,I do keep creating content instead.
I have invested money and more time.
I do believed that sbd and steem soon will make a race with other crypto.
I am looking at steem reputation on coinmarket cap. It is doing well.

I completely agree ! Like Buffett says;  “ Be Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” This is the ultimate recipe for success and now is the time to be the most busy planting seeds

Thanks boss, I've taken Note of this.

I have to say I have seen quite a few larger known accounts starting to power down over the last few months; whereas I keep powering up when I can (to delegate to communities. groups and pages on the platform).

>The low price should motivate you to hit the accelerator

This is my time to re-organize my page, personal goals and get myself in a position for when the market changes again.

@modernpastor I actually like this period, It helps us separate the serious from the unserious. I've made a lot of friends committed to building their SP as I am during this period that just gives me so much hope for great times during the bounce back

Ait i love posts like these. The main reason why i applied myself not long ago! Already uploaded some cool content!

Like usual you are spot. Now is the time to make connections, to place comments and upvote other peoples post. See it as advertising for your account. The effort will pay off and if it doesn’t maybe to have made some friends along the way!
But don’t forget to write own posts, because nobody will be interested in following you without own content!
Cheers,
Peter

I am trying to push out at least one post per day because like you say now is the right time for that. Accumulating Steem Power should be the main goal for all Steemians right now.

I have never been an investor as I make my money here but at the next market bull run I will put funds into FIAT and be ready for the next bear market.

I added 500 Steem to my portfolio, and am accumulating to average my cost. 
I don't wanna regret when we again turn back to all time highs.

Good counsel but so sad am among those powering down from my little steem power because there are needs to be attended to in school. Can't help it. 

I wish I could invest 😭

Well to be honest I was chatting with a Steemian and the issue he had with the low payout for now was keeping him away for now but like you said this is no time to sit back and watch rather give your time and make the time worth it and there is always light at the end of the night !

The market have been like this ever since BTC dropped but it rose again and it fall again but we were able to withstand that affect than we can sure go on with this.

Well like you said no one knows and one day we might wake up and see Steem at those prices that you mentioned and it sure is possible but today but someday !

Now is a great time to invest in Steem and power it up, when the prices are low it's perfect to increase your stake because they will climb again and then the investment will pay off.

So much is just around the corner in new developments that will improve the community aspect and help everyone earn rewards - many Witnesses like myself are trialing [v0.19.10](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-19-10-officially-released-appbase-rocksdb-unlimited-content-editing-and-more) software that enables additional features like [unlimited editing of old posts](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-19-10-officially-released-appbase-rocksdb-unlimited-content-editing-and-more) which will help ensure posts can remain upto date and relevant long post the current 7 day limitation of editing. It will not fully roll out until enough Witnesses and nodes support it

It's the worst time to power down, but unfortunately some have to due to circumstances.

The future is bright, keeping working towards retaining people so they don't loose out is key right now. It's obviously on many people's minds because my friend @steemflow covered this same subject and so did @bala41288.

Well it's not accurate. As the $ value of Steem went down, our voting power went down with it, so I also accumulate SP at a slower rate than before. For us this is a double blow; my voting power went from a whopping 0.03 to 0.01 with more SP available to me to vote with :/ It seems to me that the only way to profit from this down turn is to invest cash. Greetings!

Really I can now realize the power of accumulating day by day. I have never invested here any money from my pocket, I have always posted here, interacted with people and now I can say I have done a great job here in one year period of my steemit journey. I am very serious about SP and every single % of it really matters a lot to me. Although in India it has become really very difficult to trade in the cryptos because the Central Bank of India has put a ban on cryptos and we cannot deal in it.

To say it in the words of Warren Buffet, “<b>Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful</b>".

Like you say, it's much easyer to earn steem when less people are posting and the price is low. The price is nearly completely linked to the entire crypto market and it should be a matter of time before it goes up again. What is much more frustrating is how the devs don't really seem up to doing what is needed to get Steemit to the next level and faith in them is quickly going away.

Congrats with the 0-2 win and taking the first place in the league last weekend !

I bought some btc when the price was lower but missed the past two dips to buy Steem because the first time I was waiting for it to go below one dollar. And the second time I was just waiting for it to go lower than it was.

Consequently, I ended up buying 0.  😂

This time, finally, I bought some Steem yesterday and the day before and I shall probably buy a few more this evening.

I might even buy a few more more bits of btc if it come down a bit lower than where it is now.

I'm finding the trading part quite difficult to be honest. Even though I'm only buying and not selling. 😊

I support 100% every word of you. I think this is a time to invest ... of course, I can not currently, but if I could, I would do it, this low will not be perpetual ... in a few days it will rise and you will have made a large investment ... Our situation country does not allow it now, but then, when the whole scenario changes here in my country, we will take advantage of opportunities like this, to invest ... That is my perspective.

Makes sense to me. I am a newbie but today I added about $50  in Steempower to my acct. The price is low, so this is a good time for me to do that. Also helps me as a newbie to build my acct. Cant wait till I start to see to see some results! Gotta go create my 2nd post now :)

I think many people don‘t quite understand that the $ amount of the posts you write now will rise belated as well when the price rises again. If you don‘t plan to cash out to FIAT soon, the current STEEM price doesn‘t really make a difference - the only huge difference would be made by a higher SBD price.

This many people forget. That they will get now more STEEM out as when the Price is high. Lets see how many people will come again when the price rises. I saw many coming which I knew from other platforms, like instagram and youtube, but as soon the prices went down, they run away.... I am stying, thats shure

The only thing I can say:

I love it!

**The best time is always now**

Great post @modernpastor , but i still see so many posts paying 0 and if bots are not used my posts make generally under a dollar, so even if theres more in the rewards pool it will just go to all the whales upvoting their posts into the hundreds of dollars and self upvoting with tons of accounts. the circle jerking also never stops . even though I mostly agree with what your saying and I love Steemit for over 2 years now, we need things to change on the platform for people to come back or stay ,and not just the price of steem. I am also one who mentioned *Mass Exodus Of Dolphins* recently who were the only ones upvoting that counted. and both my sons have left pretty much as well. ***I would be more likely to invest at least a bit in steem when I could afford it , if things change on here., its getting depressing and not fun anymore for anyone., nobody even upvotes anyone.*** Thanks for sharing , I really hope things change for the better. upped and resteemed👍✌💕✌💕👍

Right
I am powering up all the time.
Buy Steem is also on the way.
Thank you @modernpastor
Peace

Thats why a lot stay but also a lot are leaving Steem... the prize some say okay lets HODL... thats the Investment way... i stay because  Steem-IT have an amazing community no second around... 

Schau mal in Steemit freut sich jeder für den anderen was man so in keiner anderen Plattform findet... ebi den meissten  sind die HATER ganz oben und trashen dich mit deren unzufriedenheiten voll... 

Steemit ist da eben anders Du verlierst nichts in dem Du jemandem anderen etwas gutes tust uund das ist der FLOW  was es so besonders macht... 

Ich liebe Steem-It  und deswegen bin ich auch hier und bleibe auch... ich habe nichts zu verlieren ausser vielleicht etwas Zeit die ich sonst anders verblödelt hätte ;)

Very good point bro, you are correct

Sorry for discovering your blog so late , after I read @uwelang blog I checked it , Gratz on the win btw.

well. steem is about community. and it will strive from quality content. then quality content is steems currency. lets build on it.

Gratulation zu Eurem Sieg gestern!
Ein Steemian deutscher Fussballprofi, wow!
