RE: Greedy Minnows Chasing Whales – First impressions after my first week on Steemit
I don't know...some whale just took away their votes on my posts. They dropped 8$ overnight...and the one where I'm swimming as a mermaid with a whale shark is pretty crazy. Right now I think I want to leave. I don't like the high school popularity contest dynamics.
With respect you just have to get over yourself and get involved if you wanna be involved. If you want to have a bigger stake, either earn it by interacting with the community, or turn yourself into a bigger player by investing actual money in the platform to increase the weight of your own voting and vote for yourself and your friends. The system is open to 'abuse', okay, but it is open for anyone to 'abuse it', so is it really abuse or just the way the system works? I am sorry to say it, but this sounds like whining from where I'm sitting, forgive me if I am mistaken. I hope you stick with it and spend time working out what the platform is about, what it can do, and most importantly, what you can do with it and for it. We are all stakeholders, ultimately.
I find it interesting that posts like these begin with "with respect"...and then "get over yourself". I don't actually have to read further because just that has unmasked your character. I did of course read it and I disagree. You obviously haven't bothered reading about my experiences here. It was unethical and rude.
Steem dropped overnight. The amounts on your posts and in your wallet will fluctuate with the market. It's just the way cryptocurrency works. I don't fully understand it...I just know it fluctuates.
