$7,500 will get me under 4,000 Steem instead for 100,000. Of course, that's not comparable because I only get it for 1 month, but maybe in 1 months' time there'll be massive growth, whales will start voting, other curators will start curating with higher strengths etc. Right now I know I have a competitive advantage, and I know it won't last very long. So I want to make the most of it. :)
