I don't know. I just feel like buying more steem with SBD after the recent drop

Very informitive! 
I did not know this.

So basically if Steem dollars drops to .50 and you transfer money to Steem in your wallet, you double your money ?

@brianphobos, isn't it a wonderful time to buy more steem today?

Time to buy more

Good advice as ever, Brian. I am wondering if when my BTC purchase clears on Friday whether BTC will be more down than Steem. It seems that when BTC is somewhat down, smaller coins tend to be down farther. I am hoping this is the case because  if Steem falls relative to BTC I'll be able to get more Steem than I planned. 

I am a bit wondering about why the whole crypto market seems to be continuing downwards this week, whether it has to do with the upcoming Bitcoin soft fork or just a periodic downturn. If this were the stock market I could go read dozens of analyses and opinions (most of which would likely be pure speculation) explaining what is affecting the markets this week/month. With cryptos it's all a bit mysterious. 

By the way, what do you make of PlexCoin?

Interesting that you were buying real estate in Arizona in the 2010/2011 housing downturn. I bought my two Scottsdale rental condos in 2011 and 2012. My Mom still lives out there and I went out and stayed with her for a while when I took a break from New York. I was sitting on some cash from a previous job and ended up buying 2 properties for cash. Those two have done quite well for me as rentals and have appreciated nicely, though as you say, were not enough to make me a millionaire. However, and I hate to do "coulda woulda shoulda," I wish now that I had stayed at my job and taken out loans because I could have bought around 6 more units if I had financed these purchases. Each of these places is now worth around $150k so I would have had around $1.2 million in units by now, each one cash flowing nicely. Coulda woulda shoulda. 

Well said Brian! :)

I believe in this platform, I'm new but I'm having fun. Thx for the post

Ok, I'm starting to get it. My econ major is coming in handy. Thank you for raining truth on us.

hahah first off, love that you are talking to us in your pool. I saw the whale in the background... subliminal messaging... I see what you did there :P 

Thanks for the info. I'm still new to Steemit, and I didn't know that they did have interest rates on Steem dollars in the past. Keep up talks like this, love being educating and learning what to do with the money I receive on this platform.

i find your post informative as I am still new to steemit and want to learn more about it especially about investing in steem. I am sure you will continue to post with more information about steem

Wait WHAT??  STEEM IS UNDER A DOLLAR??

I'm new to platform but feel it will definitely blow up over the course of the next year.  It's definitely a currency I'm going to invest in and hold onto it while it grows.

With prices as low as they are I decided to buy a little tonight.  Steem Dollars are currently at 0.96 and Steem is $1.02. I bought 300 Steem Dollars. Did I make the right call or should I have bought Steem?

Dropping gold nuggets on us like it's Christmas time! You gonna do 100% power-up posts here for a little bit, or just stick with 50-50 for now?

Ah, it's a very bad news for newbiews like me we are getting less amount for good work.let'ts hope this will up soon.

Today you can get both SBD and Steem on sale, what a great day!
Just back up the truck and load up, steem is just refueling the rocket to the moon.
