RE: Reputation. Is it really just a number, or maybe not?
In a great economy, you have spenders and savers and investors.
There are many talented people who maybe live close to the edge financially.
In a tough alt-coin economy, many who live with Steem are supplementing their income with Steem and in terms of Steem's value that is an expensive thing to choose to do.
As the alt-coin markets heat up and we start to see some marketing reach... We will stop being so fussy about some people choosing to spend.
However, I do tend to support those who are invested with finances and not just time. Mostly due to the depression and the idea that those who are needing an income may not survive the end of this altcoin depression.
Oh sheesh, I am editing to say this comment was a response to those who might have a high rep and a empty wallet.
While I agree, there are some points where I also disagree. Like this one.
Reaching 78 organically is an achievement. That means thousands of thousands of steem landed in your wallet. It's one thing choosing to spend a portion down and another to have a completely empty wallet.
Empty wallet means also: Hey keep upvoting my stuff while I will contribute to no one around here...
On a side note...would it be a good idea if we could raise some funds for those who are proven on the edge? I would happily contribute.
I know that there are people who live close to the edge. I wish things were better for them. I really do. I wish things looked better for each and everyone of us. But almost all fiat economies are broken. Literally all...
Excellent point. Level 78 and no steem is milking. :)
I agree. I was thinking at 70, there might be decent reasons.
By the way, I also was 69 FOREVER. 70 went by quickly. Weird how that works, I almost wonder if 69 is broken. :)
Damn...and I thought I was the only one who had that feeling
On second thought...69 is #sexy! :)
HAHAHA after reading all the comments I think this is very good for a good laugh ..
