Congratulations! That's an exciting mile stone. I just powered up to get above 20k, and it moves faster now.
Wow thats cool. Your full upvote is now worth over 1 steem.
I may get more again soon. Was planning to wait for SMT, but u know fomo...
@abitcoinskeptic
I had to read that twice to be sure I wasn't seeing things... ;) THAT was hilarious
That aside, you make some interesting and valid points. I know there was a reason to come back here - and I had this open before I saw it was today's suggestion in PHC.
I have only managed two posts in the last while, no three. Largely because things have been pretty hectic outside the Steemit and virtual world and because as the previous two posts suggest, there has been "stuff" in my head. One got me one of the biggest payouts I've ever had and the one posted a week ago, exceeded expectations. I have no idea why because it was a "hello, I live and breathe" post. Returns on curation - I've just looked at Steemworld and Steem Supply - for me, are negligible.
I take three things away from this post:
Steem reward into which I shall look more closely (with my huge 1k head of Steem :D
The value (not) of comment votes and curation for me. I have long preferred to respond to a comment than vote on it although I have, of late, got lazy. Now, I'll say something or not at all.
More importantly, as I said all along when I heard about HF21/22, the blockchain needs content creators. Now, with the demise of bidbots, we are seeing the benefit even if the rewards are split 50:50. If my post of a week ago tomorrow is anything to go by, then my sweat equity will be rewarded in ways it hasn't been up to now. It also may be to my benefit to post less often and to spend more time on crafting what I consider to be more worthy posts.
Thanks for the confusing (not) ramble

PS I'm calling over @blockurator and @quillfire because your observations may be of interest to them.
The porn thing was a bit of a joke, but there is actually a token for it. There's a legit reason for an alt account.
I've also slowed down posting as I deal with other stuff. I'm engaging and curating more too which takes up a lot of time (glad the rewards were increased).
1k of Steem is more than enough for a top 10000 account. Think about what that will mean if there are millions of active users.
We definitely need content creators. Focusing on higher quality posts will certainly pay off. I hope the trend of bigger rewards for quality continues as it is really encouraging. Hopefully, we can stay above the curve in terms of quality if this is the case. Now that bots are gone, next is vote trading.
I don't miss voting comments at all. I only voted this one because it is very thoughtful and I appreciate that you put in a lot of time and effort. I'll still upvote these kinds of comments.
A token for porn? Well, it takes all kinds, even old fuddy duddies like me! lol
The comment vote is much appreciated as is your taking the time to read and comment.
Vote trading: now that's a whole new thing that never entered my head. Of course people always find ways of working the system. It's going to be interesting.
I hope you're right about the price of STEEM going up, and I hope the bidbots are gone for good. Or, at least, not dominant.
Bid bots are like telemarketers they won't go away they will evolve. But, they will be less dominate.
Steem will rise 80th place doesn't suit it. It's top 30 at least.
True about telemarketers. I hope you're right about STEEM. I can see the potential for a bounce back, but there's a lot of competition now. Some good coins in the top 100.
I agree there are a lot of good coins in the top 100. However, just like having too many good companies on a stock exchange, having too many good coins is going to be great. It was sort of embarassing when you couldn't get much past the top 20 without running into coins that had no history or information. It is becoming much harder to get into the top 100 now and this is good.
However, it could also mean bad news for Steem and I am certainly biased towards supporting Steem.
Sadly, since I got involved in Steem, I've had less time to study alts. So I just stick with coins that are at least 2 years old and usually 3 to 5 years old.
Yeah, good points. It should be hard to break into the top 100, and especially the top 20.

Redfish support or plankton support is for you. However, you may have to explain your low rep and acknowledge how that happened.
I have to agree with you @abitcoinskeptic, i have been gone for a while and am happy to be back with all the possitive changes. I fell victom to the use of bidbots and ended up hanging myself on the Steem Network...
Buying Steem is probably the best crypto investment at this srage and will most definitely be more rewarding than before. #NewSteem now offers an equal opportunity for all to grow...
Bidbots were a neat side effect of delegations combined with a general distaste for downvoting since it was a waste of curation rewards and coting power. However, it gave the impression that Syeem was rigged. With ROI around 10% it took a huge bid to make any meaningful return. No one wants to see people buy their way to trending. The effect is a normal trending page and more rewards for everyone.
I agree, it's a great investment now. It's still 2x its all time low which is more than 95% of crypto.
Awesome, yeah because one day you get major upvotes, the next nothing. Worst of all, no one ends up reading the content all in a rush to earn curation rewards or a quick buck.

I like the environment but I dislike unsolicited advertising. I'm not going to watch your video.
You should also avoid writing comments without any context.
#newsteem has really given the economic impetus for some decent changes in behaviour... I'm curious to see how it lasts and turns out, after all, it is a new game for some people... and in time, the exploits might show up. Anyway, until then... it is a remarkable change!
I'm plugging away to reach dolphin, congrats on the double dolphin achievement (Double Dragon....)
I also question how long it will last, as some are dividing and reducing their stake or already gaming curation.
I've noticed a disturbing trend of people offering a service or a charity while thinking this somehow deserves more rewards than taking pictures of your cat (the community decides, not the author).
It will take more work for less reward than before for the people only interedted in income without quality.
It's going to be good for creative bloggers with reasonable expectations for the time being.
Thanks for the encouragement and making my Steem experience more enjoyable. I think ultimately if people like it, this will be best. Hope you get to dolphin soon.
Virtue signalling... it's the best form of self service....Sigh... hopefully this sort of thing is outweighed by the good things that the new system introduced.
