Dang.... I have kicked myself over and over and over again for not sticking with steem years ago when it was new and I had the chance stock up and build a better rep.
but there is no real point in regret about that anymore - lesson learned and stamped on my forehead. SO I have to work twice as hard, so be it.
I see it this way: I am here at the dawn of a newer era of Steem. I am not in the position I would like to be SP wise but I am here, a little older and a little wiser. There are massive opportunities to explore and options to invite in.
besides, this is far from the last hardfork of changes. right?
The distribution percentage actually hasbn' changed at all, there is 100% in the pool. Where it may end up has though. There is still heaps of Steem up for grabs through content creation and at 65 percent going to content/curation, over the next 12 months that is something like 17 million Steem.
Good to know there will be plenty of steem to go around for those willing to earn/create for it.
