Being a member of #steemsilvergold has nothing to do with how much $ you got in our account. I started off with 200 STEEM x18 month ago and have around 2000 in my account and about 1000 withdrawn when it was around $5. Im still no whale and most members are not either. We use curations trails, auto-upvote each other and have 'PRECIOUS' all geared toward building your account as a group. All i did was blog everyday and build relationships with people within the community. The MONSTER RAFFLE is an event that happens every 3-4 months and there is completely no pressure to use your wallet for raffle tickets when you could be using it to grow your account. At #steemsilvergold , we would much prefer an active member than a dead member with a big wallet.
