I have been thinking about this for a while and why I wont play the likes of Magic Dice and whatever else comes along. I just can't gamble with the Steem I have earned,as it is just too valuable. This may sound crazy as Steem is hovering around 29 c today.
My account is not the value that it holds, but the time and effort it represents. The time I have put into the account is nearly a year of dedication. I haven't had the luxury of investing and powering up yet and when that happens maybe I will think differently. I was asked today when Steem eventually breaks out of it's rut what price would I be happy selling .I have no price as I can't put a price on it. You are asking me to put a price on a year of my life in an around about way.
I know I do things differently to lots of other users as a lot of thought goes into the growth. With accumulative growth you can forecast where you will be in two weeks time and you know what it takes to get there. When I look at my account sitting on 2875 SP I know it is two weeks away from being 3200 SP or hopefully a little more. When you work to your strengths and can calculate your growth properly the place becomes a lot easier to understand.
I think that once you understand the account growth you will enjoy the blogging and curation side that much more. This has taken time to understand and working on a strategy that works for you is what is important.
If you are sitting on 2000 SP then there is no reason why you can't get to 10 000 SP and then 20 000 SP. The more you have the easier it is to grow and the growth will be quicker. Accumulative growth takes time to get to grips with, but the sooner you understand it the better off you will be.
