I just read your post. They weren’t in my feed for a while and I wondered what happened. But glitches happen.

In regards to your post. I also haven’t powered down in quite a while, I think I powered down to buy Steem-Engine Tokens. But with the bad vibes everyone was giving off about the Token going to zero.., I hit the Power Down Button. I hate to admit it...but there it is....the prospect of getting caught by the 13 week power down cycle and not being able to swap to Tron worried me, as well as losing my entire investment. ... So I can relate to what your saying. I felt and feel the same way.

But I thought it over. This has never been about a small gain. It’s been about a life changing nomad soul existence. Anything less doesn’t pay off my bills and change my life.

Besides what has really changed my life is writing, interacting and evolving into a me 2.0 from all that I have learned about the blockchain.

So I stopped my power down. It was tough. Fiscally imprudent and maybe irresponsible, but like @newageinv said, these are like lottery tickets to a better life.

Steem on straight ahead into the unknown to either the moon or crashing in a ditch, life is not a destination, it’s a journey, let’s enjoy the ride!

Yep. Some people will take the something over the nothing and by doing so, miss the everything.

Do you find how affected we are by others? This is actually a good thing if we can find people we trust enough to be affected by. I think many are affected by anybody - and this is the internet :)

Yes, glitches do happen.

Yes. I am definitely affected by others here. Normally I don’t react on here and think carefully about my response. But the initially overwhelming negativity by people I read made me feel like Powering down for the swap was the best thing to do....I actually thought all was lost. I figured I better start because it takes weeks.

You convinced me to stop it. You reminded me of my underlying reason for being here. A life changing experience, so I stopped my power down.

Just don't blame me later :D

But, as we have both concluded, cashing out now doesn't really do much long-term for anyone. As someone said yesterday, in for a penny, in for a pound. =)

No worries. I am responsible for both wins and losses. Freedom gives me choices, but as my dad said, the freedom to choose my actions come with consequences, and I have to own them both. 👍
