**I notice today all my blogs are paying nearly double what they where yesterday. The price of Steem was around $10 last night, and i cashed out 59 Steem for 0.028 of a Bitcoin. The last time i cashed out some Steem, i thought i was getting a great deal at 170 Steem for 0.031 BTC. Amazing how my perspective and expecatations adjust with the price rise, somehow i feel like i deserve this current very high price now. 

Of course if Steem where to retrace to around $1 in value i would of course be disappointed, but i have to realize that this is a long term game, and any returns are a bonus. Compared to other Social Networks, at least with Steemit we are all earning something while enjoying ourselves here. 

I will be hanging on to all my Steem Power for a long time now, and i just cashed out a couple of times to learn how to do it, and make sure i have something to show for my efforts.
