<h5> I understand that people are possibly sad right now - the BTC price has gone down, almost all alts are suffering (including Steem and BTS).</h5>

This shows how easy it is for little things to change market sentiments and make prices fall.

I have seen it happen time and again (ever since I first got into BTC in 2013) - markets are bullish and then a small fall, becomes a bigger one as panic takes hold.

The best thing I have found in these sorts of situations is to HOLD and not panic sell.  In the foolish times I have done this, I have regretted it later.

The one thing I have learned is that the general trend is upwards as long as you invest in projects which have something useful to offer.

We are still way above where we were a couple of months ago

<h5>We may have come second in the poll but we made a good showing.  There is no reason for us to be ashamed.  There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.</h5>

Big things are coming for STEEM/Steemit and our whole community.  

We just need to be patient.

Sitting and watching the market prices is not a productive way to spend your time.  Going out into the real world and doing real things is a great way to put things in perspective.

<h2>So in summary, my advice is to get your mind off the markets and enjoy real life for a bit - you will feel better, gain perspective and you won't be tempted to panic sell your legitimate coins for magic beans.</h2>
