These Times Make You Wait & Watch!
Around 2.5 years ago STEEM currency value mooned to over $4 before making its way down to 7 cents. It wasn't easy watching it go down but it did. All we could do in early 2017 was hope for the price to make a reversal and it did. 

Over the course of that last year and half, Bitcoin has touched $20K and dipped down to $4K and so has STEEM gone up from 7 cents to over $8 and is down to 36 cents.

That's the nature of the market. There's nothing one can do. 

If you are worried about the price then you're not going to get a lot of sleep. It's a good idea to let go of your worries and focus on the present. There's no point in worry over things you have no control over.

Cryptocurrency markets are manipulated and you have to play the game by staying here for the long haul.

The prices may be down but they'll go back up eventually. There's a lot of positive things happening on Steem blockchain and the cryptocurrency space in general. 

There are large trading funds interested in getting involved in Cryptocurrencies. There's a lot more money to be made for everyone. 

Personally, having seen the prices go up and down then back up then down I know that this cycle is likely to repeat itself. I don't know for sure if the prices will go back to the previous ATH or let alone go beyond it but the market is anything but dead. 

Hold on tight because markets always go up or down. Don't panic, Steem might have had its issues but we're still a great blockchain with some everyday use cases. It's likely that we'll continue to improve in the months to come. 

I've been asked these a lot recently with some new users interested in investing but worried about the shake up on Steemit. I can only speak from my experiences in this space which has largely been positive because I have persevered through the hard times. 

I hope this post will give you some hope if you were feeling down because of the markets not recovering fast enough. It's the same for us all including myself or anyone that's invested anything in this space; time, energy and ofcourse $$$$$.

That's very true and even more, this 'boring', sideways movement might even continue, if compared to the one in 2014.
[I've made a detailed forecast based on the 2014 trend, check it out!](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@aezakmi/the-ultimate-bitcoin-forecast-based-on-the-2014-movement)

Good positive read for the morning. It means we still have lots of time to invest then. We need not worry even if the price goes to 7 cents. We can keep accumulating Steem until then.

@firepower, Absolutely true words brother and this is the time of **Patience** and we know the nature of the **Cryptocurrency Market** and any financial market in general, so we don't have any control upon the Cryptocurrency Market so we have to let go our worries and have to put our focus towards something good which will give us productive results.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Roller coasters highs and stomach wrenching lows— that’s the name of the game. Lock and load while you can, Steem and the rest of the crypto market will surely bounce back in 2019 and beyond 🌪✊🏻🙈

It is more than that. Other cryptocurrencies spend a significant effort in getting their coin on all exchanges. Steemit Inc philosophy is "Build it and They Will Come". Well, this field of dreams philosophy doesn't work. We have slipped in rank using that philosophy and are soon to be out of the top 50. I'm tired of waiting for Steemit Inc to do something. I want to build an exchange that pairs STEEM and SBD with everything else. It will be the first marriage of social media with an exchange ever.

I for one will ride out this downturn and see this as a buying opportunity. 
Within the last several days I have purchased close to a 1000 Steem to add to my portfolio. 
I will continue to be an active member of this community as i am a true believer that Steem will only  be stronger in the future.

It might be different for people who relied on their earnings from here or for those who invested a nice chunk of money when STEEM was over 1$.

But for someone like me with a small SP I am as optimistic as ever. And I actually like that at these current prices I can trow in a couple of bucks to increase my Steem Power. I think that we are a great community and that people who stick trough these hard times will have a lot of reasons to be happy sooner or later. The thing is, good thing come to those who wait.

I wish all reading this the best of luck in your Steemit journey!
