Purchase Delegation - Purchase Whale Votes

Whatever you do, don't purchase Steem! then watch it fall!

There probably are many reasons why the price of Steem is dropping, while Bitcoin is going through the roof.

Us minnows no longer need to purchase Steem through Blocktrades, there are so many services now where we can purchase Delegation, Whale Votes, Mass Bot Votes, Community Trails, Resteems, etc. to get ahead, but at what cost to Steem?

A couple of weeks ago I invested $1200 into Steem, and after 6 months of writing posts, have learned that it just doesn't pay off anymore (unless you got that Whale in the family tree). So, back to purchasing Upvotes.

Since HF19, it appears less likely to get a full Up Vote or Resteem, although the odd 1% upvote is as satisfying as a fish slap.

What is worse, is the new trend of a higher rep account commenting on your post, no upvote, but a ton of bot trail upvotes on their comment, which makes more than your post, another slap in the face.

Will Steemit have a future if it continues down this path?

You might say that the number of accounts is growing, but so many are probably multiple accounts or Bot accounts set up by individuals for Trail/Bot Curation.

This week I did actually attempt to purchase with 50 Steem some delegation by minnowbooster, the delegation never happened, nor the refund after almost 6 days! What a bitter taste left in the mouth, probably from the Fukushima radiated tuna.
