I've been thinking lately if there is a smarter way of approaching this whole craziness we've dubbed volatility. I mean, all of us want to be exposed to the coins going up, to mooning as we like to call it. But, maybe it's silly or naive to have that strategy, to play everything on the moon.

STEEM's Advantage that I'm not using

We actually have an asset that is designed to stay around 1 USD at all time. Ideally for proper commerce, it stays there, and it get's spent as it should. But, since the blockchain stopped printing them I've been powering up everything and I do mean everything, so I've not taken part of this advantage.

What do I mean? Well, yes I will admit, this account has grown, in "theory" I'm doing so much better than a year ago, when I first started my crazy little journey. However, It's hard for me psychologically to sell these tokens. They are STEEM tokens, not unimpressive SBD (silliness added for effect). It was a lot easier for me to put some in the piggy bank when they were just SBDs, not STEEM.

As a result, there's no piggy bank, at least for me that is. I've not been converting STEEM tokens to SBD to put some aside to pay some bills, and if I'm to be completely honest, I can't afford to be that stubborn about it.

Buy some SBDs?

Is that the answer? And that is the question I'm posing here to my fellow steemians, my small, crazy, yet amazing community. It seems reasonable at least to a point, to be buying some SBDs, exit the volatility of the STEEM token, and make the sailing a little bit safer, just a little bit.

More and more I'm starting to understand the dormant whales that sit on thousands of SBDs seemingly doing nothing with them. I think I've been looking at that behavior wrongfully thinking they don't want to put those funds to work, yet maybe they were thinking the whole time.

"Oh... here we go, 400 SBDs for my piggy"

I'm sure I won't get an answer from them, from the ones with the eye popping wallets and that's ok. Still, I would like to know what my fellow Steemians think. I wanna know...

Do you have a piggy too?
