RE: Do you think bitcoin/cryptocurrency can be your gateway to early retirement?
I doubt Bitcoin will retire me earlier. I still consider that I made a good decision investing in crypto but the boom from 2017 may not repeat itself any time soon. Glad to see more type of posts like this one as nobody seems to have patience anymore in reading long blog posts. I am in the same situation. Regarding attention, it seems it's all on auto. People have their curation done through steem auto, authors get their tokens and so on. Not much interaction anymore...unfortunately.
We've seen the low but looks like bitcoin stabilize around 8k$. We are all hoping for the next boom but looking at how hard it is to get new users on each cryptocurrencies project, I doubt we're seeing that happening soon. Much like you, I doubt it's going to make me retire early but I am in the long haul. Finger crossed!
I know a long blog post is good, perhaps in the past. But these days, not so much. If you want more engagement- the key is caring about what people have to say. It's nothing to lose for me because I get more knowledge instead of just being auto-voted, thanks whoever put me on autovote. But the essence of steemit is engaging as social media. It's difficult to get people engage when we're only offering one sided conversation.
