Market movements, for one moment I thought that it became all of a sudden the dominant factor for Steem. Activity coming from trade, the most important? Yet, I know that it is part of the Steem realm. The internal market of buying and selling, and also some external markets. Even noticed Steem on BitSquare. Decentralized market, nice user friendly interface, fast peer to peer network. But that is not why I got into Steem. It was because of Steem It.
So what the Steeming blog is going on? Noticed some changes at Steem It, 12 hour payout rounds, then a cooldown period of 4 weeks. Do not know what good it is supposed to do, haven't figured that out yet. But I did have some rushed feelings somehow, watching the market move, what is happening? The build in Market for Steem is doing fine. So what is wrong with the figures at Coinmarketcap? It seems like there is a lot of difference in Steem price between the markets. And also Steem Backed Dollar {SBD} seems to be far below where it should be, as far as I understand. Looking at those numbers and figures, makes me nervous. Thought that at least I could hold my SBD. But actually, I do not really want to be alert on that all the time. It is bad for my Steem moral.
Not a speculant nor a marketeer, so I'm probably making a big mistake
Allthough my intuition, as far as I can claim to have that, was going beserk, alarmbells where going off and also others told that it may be better to sell. But I was going numb, having no clue what to do. You see, I do not trust that what tells me to sell, it is no intuition, I think it is just fear. That makes me almost lose the joy of what I have, by rising doom scenarios where there is nothing left. Well, it is just zeros and ones, and nothing changes that. And also, the last times that I listened to that little annoying voice inside, it proved to be wrong. Like all the times before.
And I do not want to be alert on those kind of things. It is a part of the Steem realm, true, but the more attention I give it, the more it gets a grip on me. Won't I ever sell my SBD then? No, I will sell, but not driven by panic caused by markets that are enthralled by the demons of Etherea. My guess is, as far as I have an insight in that matter, that this has to fade out a bit. Had a little peek into the current funnyfarm called Ethereum and decided to step away from that as quickly as possible. Also the days that I'm able to write productively almost have come to an end.
So why worry, it is only virtual, and so I decided to relax and just Steem It...
