This is a steak  (in this case a metaphor for voting stake)


No matter  how many times I slice it (10 or 40) It will weigh the same and have the same amount of influence. 

                 *yes, I do know they also changed how they weight stake, but that isn't my point


Let's say it is my stake, and I can do what I want with it.

If I have an limited amount of Stake, if I use it all on Monday, I will not have any left by Friday. 

If I take my stake and eat it at a table of hungry people, at first it might generate some interest.

"How did you get stake?"  They might ask, "Can I get stake?"

If I start to give away bites of my stake more people might gather hoping to receive some.

If I give away too much my new friends might wander away, since they only wanted my stake.

If I silently eat my stake making it obvious I will not share, many will wander away to seek other foods.  (ETH Stake perhaps)

A few might continue to try to figure out how I got the stake

If I eat my stake while explaining how I got my stake some may learn how to get stake



What should I do?  


In my opinion there isn't a right answer it all depends how you view stake.


Mind your stake.

I do love analogies :) I believe is the easiest way for people like me to learn a bit about this crypto world/trend so thank you for sharing your thoughts about the stake :)

This was a very great comparison! So perfect. This is exactly how we need to think about our voting power :)

It could have gone on and on. ;) I had fun with it though

@whatsup steak'n'shake, baby, steak'n'steak

Well, there you go. Have a little slice of my stake.

I've just been trying to make sure I don't end up starving...

I am still trying to figure out how to balance my stake.

I agree. I say it is your stake. You can do what you want with it. I will mind my own stake.

Wake n' stake. :)

Looks good, I just had it today. I just post it on steemit. 100% upvoted from @chanthasam

Use it right away. a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

:) Well, we know who is going to be hungry or hunting on Friday.

I dunno man, you've bought me with that picture. No need of words with a steak on the table, awesome analogy though!

YUMMY

Love steaks, love upvotes, way to work that post haha
