The down market seems totally intact, looking at this chart. Maaaybe it's starting to flatten out, but then again, maybe not!?
I sure hope we begin to recover now, though. We have put in a lot of time and effort, made sacrifices, and taken risks.
Together we now have 600,000 Blurt. If it goes back to the old alltime high of 0.11 USD, we could exchange it for $66,000 USD ($88,000 CAD). That's not a lot of pay for 10 years of fulltime content creation and investment, but it would allow us to put a downpayment on a house. At that Blurt price, our articles would be pulling in about $100 USD ($135 CAD). 25 posts per month would bring in $3400 CAD, which would pay the mortgage and buy the food.
Wouldn't it be amazing to earn a living for working full time doing something you enjoy and find worthwhile?
FINGERS CROSSED
I hope so. If Blurt can get to $0.1 then I will buy my wife a new medical device (USG), as a replacement for the one she broke a month ago.
Oh trust me, fingers are crossed. Toes are crossed, eyes are crossed, even my balls are crossed! (ouch...)
Few couples have worked as hard as we have, year after year, to create real content for these blockchains. We also put a lot of time into curating properly, and have re-invested all our earnings back into the platform. All we're asking is to earn a decent living by working fulltime creating material on important topics that people value. We missed the glory days of Steem because we were homeless at the time through no fault of our own. Back then, people were posting photos of booze or beaches, and living the high life with $500 posts. Now, we work 6+ hours for a $6 payout if we're lucky.
Let's enjoy this coming bull market, and be ready to finally cash out some of our earnings to pay our bills.
