Fakebook, ScrewTube & Twatter have sold out to the evil forces. If Telegram stays censorship-free, they have a VERY bright future. I've already downloaded the platform (speaking of which, sorry I haven't replied to your steem.chat, but it won't load).

I'm getting leery about Smartcash- it sounds like a good idea, but I signed up for a Cryptopia account and they say that the Smartcash wallet has been under maintenance since the 9th, so you can't buy it. Also issues with the Smartcash wallet itself. Just let me know when Telegram is good to go... I'm locked, cocked and ready to rock!

Now that BTC is under $15,000 it's a great time to get some! As for religion... I go straight to the source- If Jesus didn't say it... fuggitabboudit!

And thank you for yours, my friend! Bruno says Hi and Thanks (I'm just about to do a quick post about him)!!!

I'm no millionaire (yet) but I started just over a year ago with nothing and I figure that conservatively, I've made $75,000. Not bad for being flat broke, having to beg for a place to live! Will check your video!

When I came to Steemit, I didn't have the proverbial pot to piss in! Now all totaled- maybe $50,000 in a year (not counting what I've spent) I owe it ALL to Steemit. Now I'm branching out in to a little speculation, now that I have my Bittrex acct back. When I got locked out, I had about $200 ($226, to be exact I think) Now it's worth about $1500.

It is very hard to doubt anything that starts at $.08 and goes up to over $18,000 in value. I do not know how it will end if it ever will! But, it has been one heck of a ride! Blessed 2018 my Friends! :)

Buffet is a scumbag disguised as a nice old man (he's probably molesting his grandkids). He paid off half of Washington to keep the Keystone Pipeline (1000's of jobs) from happening because all the oil is shipped on the railroad he owns. He also donated a fortune to the Gates Found. so they could buy bogus vaccines to poison African kids! Jesus stop me lol!!!

Great to read your experience and I'm thrilled that you're finding success as a blogger. Mining with your mind. As far as investing it's a tough call. I've earned almost all of my Steem and I bought 1.2 Bitcoin long ago and have held it.

My biggest love and what I'm still investing in is Bitshares it's another Graphene based blockchain and I wrote and article about it a few weeks ago. I believe it to be a sleeping giant for reasons that I outlined [here.](https://steemit.com/steem/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-explains-why-i-believe-that-steem-and-bitshares-will-be-dominant-tokens)

I'm holding steem and converting SBD to BTC... That's my strategy long-term. I believe once the big "Korean Panic of 2018" is over it will shoot back up to $20,000 in no time flat. With SBD high and BTC still relatively low (under $15,000) it's a no lose situation. Of course, I wish I could have gotten in when BTC was $100 or even $1500 like last summer. But I'm still looking at it's growth potential which I think is great. Like I said, it's already hit over 80% distribution- the only way to go is up!

I'm like you, I owe it all to Steemit. When I came here I was broke (and I mean BROKE). BTC is the benchmark... it is used everywhere and most other currencies have to be converted to BTC before fiat. At least for now. That will change. However, BTC is the stablest, even if it is a bit on the expensive side. I'm not an authority so take what I say for what it's worth (free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it!) Here's what my crypto portfolio looks like... I've got 5000 + steem power (I'm powering down to make a loan) that's my base. In my BTC wallet I'm closing in on 1/2 (whoopee)- that I can tap when I need to for my Bitpay card.  In my Bittrex acct I keep 4 LTC (I bought at $53) Those I keep. I have 1000 Dogecoin in hope they break the $0.01 barrier lol. I have a BTG (gold), about 50 Ripple. 110 Lumens, 100 Verge. That's my little "play account". When I went into Bittrex I had $200- now it's around $1500. Thanks to Steemit, good friends like @kus-knee, and God, I've managed to write a book, live fairly well (with a couple of sticky spots) and have in the neighborhood of $45,000... all from nothing and in a year! I'm a pretty happy camper!

It's also a good place for the patient... BTC will go back up. I figure it will be pushing $20,000 by sometime next month (if not before). This whole deal with S. Korea smacks of manipulation- I smell Warren Buffet... he's a big enough scumbag to buy off some crook in the govt, just to depress the market. My strategy is to keep a BTC base (right now I have almost 1/2). Then I keep a bit in Bittrex to "play with." I had about $200 in my acct when I got locked out. In 4 months it took to get verified it turned into $1400 (thanks mostly to LTC). If I hadn't gotten locked out I probably would have blown the $200 lol!
