May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day 22: What Is, In Your Opinion, A Worthy Post On Steemit? A Post That "Deserves" Its Payout...

Aong with everybody else on the SteemIt platform, I can use my money, my steem power, and my investment to upvote whatever I like - under the current rules. Different people like different things. One is not "better" than the other, except for whatever meaning different people decide to place upon them

On SteemIt, you can actually "reward" somebody who you think has created "good content." Ironically, the next person who comes along may be violently offended that you liked it. They may even abuse you, financially, because you don't like the same things that they like - and they'll start downvoting all of your posts and comments.

A "good post" would explain how you can avoid financial violence and coercion on the SteemIt platform, under the currently adopted and accepted rules - which currently allow for violence and abuse, so long as you have the money to pay for it, and accept the fact that the next biggest investor in Steem Power may or may not decide to come along and abuse you, with financial violence, because you have - unwisely - chosen to allow your financial instruments on SteemIt to be subject to the whims of others.

Anybody on SteemIt who thinks they can tell me how they think I should be using my Steem Power - can go suck down a big bottle of StupidWater:

At least, that's my opinion. It's also why I WILL NEVER POWER UP MORE THAN 100 STEEM POWER. It is absolutely the most stupid idea to invest in a platform where your returns are subject to the whims of Circle-Jerking Whales and groups of trolls.

That's not to say that STEEM coins are not one of the best investments to trade, on any given day. I will short trade STEEM coins whenever it is profitable for me to trade them. Powering up means I would have to wait for 13 weeks to get my money away from the SteemIt trolls.

I find it highly ironic that the whales on SteemIt all like to talk about "Anarchy," "Freedom," "Peace," "Voluntaryism," and "Non-Violence" - but will turn around in a heartbeat and employ tactics of economic abuse and violence (downvotes & flags) just as soon as somebody on SteemIt says or does something they don't agree with. That is definitely NOT "voluntaryism."

Get rid of the downvotes & let people have true freedom on SteemIt. Free to upvote themselves 100%, or give away their money 100%, and to say what they REALLY think - without worrying about getting flagged by somebody who has $500,000 in Steem Power. Then, it would be more interesting to power up. Unitl those changes are made, I'll stay around 100 SP, say whatever the hell I think, and not worry too much about the flags. My freedoms of speech and private property are worth more to me than losing a few SBD's every month.

"A Worthy Post On SteemIt," is one that sheds light on the truth - whether that truth be incredibly beautiful and fun, or tragic and brutal. When it comes to providing for my family and making money, the relentless pursuit and acceptance of REALITY supercedes everything else. If you don't have a crystal clear picture of how to invest and trade, or say what you want to say, it's best to keep your money and your words in your own pocket and wait until you do know. If you're going to be taking on RISK, you'd better know exactly how to react to changing conditions. If you need to protect your delicate sensibilities - stay offline - or you're bound to be disappointed.

Don't "RISK" your future: buy and hold real, physical gold and silver. Cryptos are good for learning, playing around with, betting, speculating, and maybe even making a ton of electronic money. It's not real unless it's something you can hold in your hand.
