Bare cupboards and full pools

Waking up to more red in the markets isn't fun but, it is what it is, what can be done? Well, I think it comes down to attitude. I was talking about survivor or victim status yesterday in a comment chain and when it comes to getting through the other side, the survivors do better.

This as I see it isn't because the attitude necessarily helps, it is that survivors look for opportunity to take advantage of while victims want someone to blame. There are opportunities in adversity and perhaps more so since there are a lot of victims standing idle.

On Steem I think we are better off because even though we are affected by the market moods and the bears leaving the cupboards bare, we still have other things to do. Rather than sit in forums eating FUD cakes, we can be here spending time with community and content.

Even though prices are low, there is Steem being released every day and content that can attract it. Instead of sitting idle, we can produce and vote and use this time as a chance to improve ourselves and distribute Steem. I hope those with spare SP to vote and a will to improve the system use it instead of letting it sit dormant.

That is their call of course and everyone does what they do with the stake they have. The draw on the Steem pool however works on staked vests and you only lose vests if powering down. Those that don't use their stake to vote, leave the pool to those who do.

The cupboards may be bare but the pool has Steem in it at the ready for distribution. Use it on those who deserve it and will use it well themselves. Empower them for a better future and let those who are only here for the good times, go.
