This Bear Market is Helping to Build a Steem Middle Class

Hi Friends!

For those who missed @pennsif's State of Steem Forum last Thursday - I would dare say it is a must watch for any Steemian. Even if you just put it on in the background while doing some work - it would be worth your while.

During the forum @aggroed made a comment that really perfectly summed up something I've been thinking about lately - he just put it in a way that made even more sense. That's the idea of forming a Steem Middle Class.

One of the biggest complaints people have with Steem - is that there are a few people at the top and the rest of us are fish in the sea hoping to get noticed by whales. This bear market is opening doors and giving the opportunity for many Steemians to become self made dolphins.

The easiest way to do this is obviously to invest fiat into Steem - but even posting during these low prices can yield some pretty impressive steem returns. @tarazkp just wrote a brilliant article earlier today outlining this very topic. It is definitely worth a read .

I hope you guys enjoy this vlog and hearing my thoughts on the subject. I am obviously no financial adviser, but I'm personally looking at ways to increase my stake during this bear market. From posting, to turning all my liquid steem and SBD to SP, to investing fiat where I can. It's a pretty exciting time because I know that the investments I'm making now will be so beneficial for years to come. Despite everything that has happened the last month - seeing the community come together makes me even more bullish on Steem than I was before.

Ps... the next State of Steem forum is this Thursday. You can check out the announcement post HERE for all the details.

Love you guys!
