So what if the price is low now ,  I'm looking on that for long term sometimes the prices will be higher and sometimes lower

I agree, many people have un-assed the area over the declining price. I haven't been on in a few days because of life getting in the way and it feels like it's been a month lol. 

According to my tracking number, it looks like the Bandito will be getting his steemit rounds today! YAY! 🙆‍♂️

I like my steem too lol, I try and keep up with posting at least once a day. I love this platform. xo

Amen!  😁

hahaha I do like my steem more when it's worth $8 though lol

I haven’t been here through a summer season yet. Do you think the quiet is just the low rewards or is it that plus people out doing summer things?

I’ve definitely been slacking on the posting.

I am tightening my belt as regarding to spending my steem on raffles or steembasic income and going to just power up that magic

I'm still here Steemin and Dreamin baby

I remember making a comment on another post that is kind of pertinent to this one. It went like this:
    
    "..........Just a few months ago my roommate and I were talking about some money troubles
    that we were having and he reminded me that I can sell some of my Steem for the Euro and 
    make up the rent. The first thought that struck me was the fact that I am here to earn 
    Steem and not Euro, so why would I sell it to buy Euros."

Absolutely, I will be buying some Steem this weekend.  Perfect time to buy!!

So true Ray! It has been slowing down a lot lately, but that just goes to show that those that are still here are in it for more than the money and I am glad to be apart of it.

Nice post, and don't think I didn't notice those Coins and that Piggy Bank along with the FRN's...  Those Coins are what's going to save us...  And you think it's slow around here, when you get 63 Votes in 3 hours...???  It takes me almost a Week to get that many... lol...

I appreciate your enthusiasm, Im new to steem and look forward  to exploring.

I am buying steem and I will be very happy if I get it at $1 or less.

I couldn’t agree more, it’s been way too quiet. It’s about interaction not the price per payout. The entire crypto market is taking a beating. It will come back.

Great post @raybrockman. It's time to go 100% power up? Appreciate your advice.

hahahahahah......lol

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Thank you @raybrockman You just wrote what I was thinking about doing. Buying more STEEM. I am in this Steem thing until my last Breath...........

Agreed!  It's slow as molasses round here.  But I can't understand why people would slow posting because STEEM or SBD is low.  Great time to accumulate.  We are in the right place at the right time.  I know for some of us that is usually *not* the case!  But this time...**it is the case!!!**  
Just stack that STEEM and don't look at the price, at this point, it does not matter.  No guarantees, but *if* (WHEN) STEEM breaks out it'll allllllllllllllllllllllllllll be worth it!
:)

I personally like it when the price is down, it means more steem is earned on each post. When it goes up the less is earned. Yes my SBD might be worth more but I rarely take anything out, I keep most of my stuff in the system. I try to buy stuff through here if I can. speaking of which someone totaled my van and I had to get a new car, you don't happen to have any decals left for sale in the small size? If you do I will message you to arrange a purchase as I need new swag for my new car which I scored a STEEM Indiana personal license plate for.

Yep, it has slowed down a lot. It's too bad to see so many people who get discouraged because their posts aren't getting as big of payouts anymore with the vote values down. It doesn't matter, just keep going and it will come back. When it does, those who have kept going will be in better shape than before. Good stuff, man!
