You have nailed it exactly, I will probably direct people to read this comment for further explanation as to why it's a waste of time.

That was definitely a wise thing to do, there will be some corrections like the one we're going through with steem, but eventually it's going to blow up. I know it. And starting out with some steem power tells people you're serious about being here, which is always a good thing.

Nice to meet you @shawnfishbit, I will definitely check out your blog when I get a chance :)
