Today I am not voting for anyone. I am saving it for @jznsamuel.

Taking the wheel for a bit and voting in my stead.

Winner of #takemyvotes 9

Note: I will be focusing more on giving to the minnows

The other day I let 10 or 15 minnows all vote at the same time. They had a blast! I want to continue with that from here on out so more can experience higher powered votes. I used to be in the top sixty on steemwhales, and I had planned to keep powering up. Now my power has dropped by over 300,000 and it will drop to 30,000 Tuesday as I near the end of my power down.

I am planning to stay but it may be a while before I reinvest. It took way too long for @dan to take action against abusive whales (as rumor has it that he recently did). I don't talk about it much, but the welcome I got here, was less than warm and is not easily forgotten. Three times, I was smacked down into invisibility for doing exactly the same thing that you see me doing these days.

I am of the "wait and see" opinion when it comes to hundreds of thousands of dollars invested on a platform where that can happen. I hope to reinvest big if things continue to blossom here on Steemit. Just not yet.
