RE: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsability
Good informative post. Thanks for writing it. The best thing is the news that the whales aren't controlling content as much, largely by their choice. I don't think I have enough SP to have a slider, but lately I haven't been voting much at all so you could call me discriminating (or lazy) about voting. I only vote on posts that I read, and that won't change. To me, voting is about expressing my opinion that I like something. I do not expect much in the way of curation rewards.
Thank you and you're welcome!
I'm with you about the whales not voting. I do wan't to give them 'props' for doing this since they are willing to lose out on curation rewards for the prospect of increasing the Steem share price. Seeing anybody being willing to forego dependable short term returns for a longer term gamble is really quite refreshing.
Ah, yea. You'll get the slider bar (as of right now) at 480.786 SP. Just in case you were curious.
Personally that's similar to what I'm trying to do from here. I'd rather read more, even if it means voting less. While it's definitely open to debate, I sooner view giving tons of votes without any reading to be more lazy...even if it is well intentioned.
YES to this!
I was curious. Thanks for the exact amount of SP needed for the slider. Guess it's a good thing I'm participating in the #powerupchallenge :)
No problem. The amount of needed SP varies a bit, but you can always see it here: https://steemd.com/distribution
I do really think taking part of the powerupchallenge is a great idea, especially for new users. I powered up every single thing I earned for my first 3 months on here. Then I had to pay a couple bills and recently took a bit to start crypto-trading..just to try it out.
So is steemit your first exposure to crypto currencies?
Yep. Prior to this, I'd heard of bitcoin, maybe litecoin, but that was about it.
Then welcome to the cryptosphere :) I've been around the space since early 2013 so I'm "seasoned," you could say. If you're looking for some great other coins to get into, here are ones that I hold: Diamond (DMD)--this one mints at 25% APY and is a very stable coin; XEM, DNotes. All of these coins have great developers and communities. They're all buy and hold. I don't "trade," per se, just use the exchanges to buy or sell what I need. This isn't financial advice, and you have to do your own homework, but I think you'll be happy to have heard about these coins :)
