I can relate, @exyle. I've taken the same rollercoaster ride since July of 2016 and kept pushing through the worst of it. It can take a toll on you emotionally. You have been such a great proponent for Steem/Steemit the entire time. 

Seeing the Steem price drop this week while nearly every other coin increased in value was disappointing to say the least. If we only had a crystal ball. The inability to know what the future holds is the hardest part of investing in this space. 

The most important thing is to not blame yourself when an opportunity is missed or a bad decision is made. This part isn't easy. The longer I'm in this space the more I realize not a single person really knows what's going to happen with any coin. 

I've cashed out a fair amount of Steem through the years but will keep what I have left. I still believe in Steemit as a platform and plan on keeping most of the Steem I have left in my wallet so I can continue to curate and make some kind of a difference. If innovation continues to happen here the price of Steem will undoubtedly bounce back but I'm taking a very long view (years.) 

In the meantime I'll still be here, doing what I do.  Enjoy the weekend, man!

I'm still a big proponent of Steem and what it can become. I am however coming to terms that it will take a little longer than I thought. I do make sure I stay well invested.

I don't blame myself too much, I did well taking a good profit in the best times but like so many, yes, I could have done much better too. But hindsight is 20/20.

What I have done is gather a ton of experience in markets and how people operate in them. I have made it a mission to document my thoughts and feelings at any time during these 3 years. Remember what I felt at the time and why I made certain decisions. I think these experiences will do me well moving forward.

 I'm also here every day, doing what I do. I still love this place. You also have a great weekend man!

I still am a believer as well! You do learn a lot after having been through a couple of these bull/bear cycles.
