I was feeling a little guilty powering down my STEEM, but I believe the goal is still sound. Many coins are down but I have been able to diversify my holdings. Some of my holdings I will keep in other coins, others I may "cash out", and the rest will be used strictly for powering back up (if those coins recover).

Nobody should keep their eggs in one basket. Funny enough it seems many crypto's are in one basket when compared to Bitcoin. I however am thinking of the future. Blockchain technology is here to stay. I think many of the messages from Bitcoin's rise to power is convoluted. There are different kinds of mindsets; some are about opting out of the fiat system, others are speculative to get as many gains and to cash-out, and last but not least is of course a belief in the technology.

So whatever path may be correct, once next week is over; I'm going to spend the next 3 months POWERING UP. I am not sure if 50/50 payout is the correct choice, but I will continue to do so until SBD goes down in price. I have really seen a change in how I treat Steemit over the past 8 months. I have become a crypto-enthusiast but reserve judgement on how this game will play out.

I think it's fitting to spend the rest of my time powering up as it's been close to 8 months on the platfrom. With that, I wish all of you luck no matter what you decide to do. It's time to stop shrinking and start growing again.
