RE: #BonsaiNews: Bonsai is such a niche market on Steemit - I made a plan
That's a very altruistic statement @imagendevoz.
Please skip me, if you haven't already done so. If possible, I prefer to support the lowest earning constant quality producers of the categories you mentioned. For many of them, 1 share of SBI is worth more than a single self-vote, and that counts for a lot, and goes a long way to ensure their longevity here.
I try to search the #bonsai and #gardening tag for NEW content every week or so. I would really like to support original content from people providing knowledge and photos that can teach and empower people to become better stewards in growing a greener world.
Oh darn, I actually started with you since you were first on the list. I thought that it would be fair to start with the first handles. If you would like me to not repeat your handle please let me know. I realise that there is a reputation structure to take into consideration but I would like this to be as fair as possible and not have this not include everyone but then again, I understand your take on it. I think, at least for me, I would like to give back to everyone, and this includes you since you have supported a lot of the newbies, myself included. On a side note, I also try and find new Steemians who do the same, I am quite shocked to see just how little there are but it can only continue to grow, so here's to that at least. If you find anyone please let me know that they are free to join, despite us not having an actual joint platform - maybe one day Steemit might consider implementing groups or something although I think that would actually go against what Steemit is. Who knows.
Oh well. Just ask me, if you are going for another round through your list. My reputation doesn't really mean anything. My vested shares simply mean that I have more to offer than most of the others in our small community.
I am not sure how often you will be able to get through everyone. Once every month or two, I might be okay with that, and might even offer to match your donation if I earn more than 1 steem per month myself. Once a week? Wow, you would have to be rich with the current economy, or our group would be very small (which is a great incentive to them to produce more content).
My economic strategy currently is I am investing all of my post earning into my SP to improve my upvotes. Any Steem I earn on the side, I save to purchase/donate more SBI to those deserving, and those choosing to invest in me. Any SBD I earn, I am saving for future delegated SP leases, when the prices are easier to afford. That way, I can benefit from the Steem Effect to improve the value of my own posts and the posts I care about.
One day maybe we'll have a tech wizard interested in making some kind of bonsai Smart Media Token for us to distribute. Will they ever release those things? How much will the help? Will they be easy to implement? I have no idea. I would love to have some kind of custom benefit for the oldest active bonsai cultivators to be able to generate the most wealth for themselves and others, just like it is with real bonsai. I would even offer to sell and trade my real bonsai trees for tokens if I felt like it could be done safely. People can submit their ideas on the possibilities on what can be done with SMT's when we get to that day.
Will keep that in mind next time. Yeah, it is going to take quite a while, but as it happens, the payouts will also increase as each enrollment takes place so, this will eventually speed up I assume. I am hoping that by doing this, that we might be bale to motivate some bonsai writers and gardeners etc to produce more content as you mentioned. It would be great if that works and perhaps one day, we can even run competitions as well - all of this will of course require a great deal of in-depth planning but then again, all great things take time. Not sure I would be keen to sell one of my actual bonsai though hahaha. I love my trees too much and they all have a story - even some of the purchased ones. I nearly broke my neck for a seed last month and at long last, it has started to sprout - that tree is going to have a decent story.
