The positive side of Hard Fork 20 ! ''Think Rich & Stay positive''

---

Just after this hard fork, I was surprised by not being able to post or do anything on steem blockchain. As almost a full time steemian I was sad because of all the situation. I thought that all the hard work I've been doing here for more than one year was for nothing and my power will not help me to be active here unless I will buy more steem and power up.

But after asking a lot of people in discord communities I started to understand everything behind the hard fork. I realised how exactly steem blockchain will work and I calmed down. I even learned a lesson from that, it's to never lose hope in steem and to understand that we are here in website where we have to respect all the rules. If the team decides that it is right for all of us to be like that, so let it be. If top witnesses accept this, we have to accept that as well.

Now steem will be more interesting for investors because the current system makes people care more about the quality. Not to post useless stuff and make it hard for newcomers to find something interesting. Of course the upvoting bots will be still used, but even those who use them will think twice before posting because we all gonna have limited recources.

I like the word recources, it shows people that it is limited and they can't use them forever. Especially those spammers who post things like ''Nice'' , ''Good'' and useless data to the blockchain. If someone wants to post a lot, he should pay for that or just wait when his recources will be much better. It's an awesome organisation of content.

The thing I understand now is that the voting mana is just like the voting power before and recource credits is the bandwidth that was extremely huge and not everybody used it. Also the recource credits will reduce depending on the steem power we have. If we have small steem power, we will lose them fast. With a bigger steem power we lose them slower.

This new system will also make people care about powering up to be active and to not power down everything and reduce the rewards pool. So if you are new to steem blockchain, you need to know that the new system we have here is to make you understand that you have to care about the community and show it that you are useful for it. You have to learn more about steem and how it works and join communities and make closer relations. If you are wondering where to find those people, just join https://steem.chat created by @firepower. There you can find a lot of very active steemians to be in touch with. You can also join discord servers, and we have a lot of them, you will always find support there.

You can also check what the witnesses are doing for steem and vote for them here : https://steemit.com/~witnesses

The witnesses I vote for now are :

@gtg , @timcliff , @jesta , @good-karma , @aggroed , @ausbitbank , @roelandp , @blocktrades , @curie , @anyx , @cervantes , @utopian-io , @drakos , @pharesim , @teamsteem , @blockbrothers , @arcange , @firepower , @fyrst-witness , @adsactly-witness , @justyy , @steemgigs , @helpie , @stoodkev , @krnel , @blockchained , @mahdiyari , @scottcbusiness , @jrswab , @brandonfrye .

Most of them are doing perfect work for our blockchain and I'm glad that the top witnesses accepted the hard fork 20, I think it's the best hard fork for now.

You can check the apps they are working on, you can join communities they are building and just vote for them to support them. You can also update your votes anytime you want, I always update if I see that a new witness is better. Сompetition makes perfection.
