Comment of the Day #9
New rules added:
I will also nominate comments.
Forgot to add: The users submitting the winning nominations will receive a shared reward of 20% of the SteemPower these posts generate as SteemPower onto their accounts.
Still same % votes on all nominations
Now Top 5 Comments
Guidelines
-Quote the comment you feel is worthy of a bigger reward (can not be your own)
-Add a link to the original in the same comment (you get a permalink of the comment by clicking on the time next to the username of the comment)
(example: 
)
-Vote for your winners and feel free to change the weight of the vote when checking other's suggestions as well
-I will vote up the suggestions with the same % (currently 5%) as to not interfere with the decision of who wins but reward the effort
Comment of the Day nominations will now last 1 week so readers can vote and nominate the winners on a wider timeline. That means the decision of which top 5 comments won will be made after the posts payout in 1 weeks time.
Feel free to add more comments to the older ones starting from #4 with the day of the comments on the right posts and vote accordingly on nominations.
Also the voting from me on the winning comments which was thought to be an "added bonus" after the won Steem Dollars might be removed or lowered since it uses up a lot of voting power and the SB the winners receive might be enough.
Reward Split
Top 5 daily comments will be rewarded by the posting rewards of this post and by a vote from me and my curation trail.
-40% of the SteemDollars will go top comment #1, 25% to top comment #2 and 15% to top comment #3, 12.5% to top comment #4, 7.5% to top comment #5
The users nominating the Winning comments will receive 10% of the SteemPower the post generates. (might increase over time)

I'm going with @tavirvins today. I saw a ton of very positive comments, but this guy is new and he made a thoughtful and witty comment about a story about a baseball player making a huge donation to charity.
"(Baseball) Hats off to Anthony Rizzo! Even though you might say he's a professional baseball player, whats $3.5 Million to him, let me tell you that is a huge chunk of cash! This story brightened my day!"

Great article @hanshotfirst - as a sportswriter it was always fun to be able cover the positive side of things at times. Editors always wanted the clicks of the bad stuff though.
The bad stuff sells. It is a business... but here we are free to focus wherever we choose. I love that!
A great response from @sevinwilson on my Crypto Deserted Island post:
