hi buddy
thx for your reply and upvote but try to keep your valuable upvotes and keep upvoting posts (not comments). cheers ;)

Hi @crypto.piotr

There you are. I was wondering what happened to you. Yeah, I just figured it out that the upvotes are limited to 10 or 11 a day before they begin to drain our voting power. I had gotten carried away as a result of a video I saw one of the steemian whales from several years ago encouraging to upvote everything you like, including your own posts. I'm guessing that is one of the changes they have made since. When I figured that out it was down to 25%. So I have been really trying my best to not upvote unless they really deserve it... It's like detoxing from an upvote addiction :) LOL... given I do that all the time on the other social networks. Thanks for the headsup ;)

oh wow. I can see on https://steemd.com/@positivesynergy that your voting power is pretty low :)

slow down. once you will have 500 steem power then you will be able to give so many more votes. until then ... just 10 a day :)

ps.
ps.
I would love to stay in touch with you a little bit closer as I value your knowledge and your input. And we could support each other.
Plus you're very responsive which is absolutely great.

Perhaps you could send me short email to [email protected]

Yours,
Piotr

Yeah, I only did one so far today... It's back up to nearly 53% now. When I'm here, as I'm doing like 3 or 4 things now, I'm trying to focus more on adding posts and content, as well as reply to comments, given so few (maybe 5%) ever reply it seems... I'll try and send you an email sometime today. Have a good day :)

Indeed not that many people seem to be responsive.
Im doing my best to build some contancts with people like you. Who take time to reply and are serious about this platform :)

ps. did you ever try any bots or auto-votes?

I'm a bit hesitant on the bots, but have looked some at minnowbooster, given so many whales speak so highly of it. It seems to be very limited though. Are you using any?

At this stage of my learning curve my answer is: yes, I just tried ones. I used 10 bots, 3SBD each. I will measure results and try again. I want to learn as much as I can about them.

At the same time Im trying which way "big whales" are shaping this community. If using bots will be available and acceptable then I will continue using them until the point that I will not need them any more to be visible. There isnt enough bots for everyone out there so we must learn when to use bots and when to give up.

Would you agree?

Absolutely ;)

I was curious to see your replies on several comments and questions I made above discussing crypto regulation. Thanks for the email address. I'll keep that in mind, but don't use email that much. Plus, we can both gain more here with other's comments and input as well, as was the case in that other post.

It does seem that the "compromise" at the G20 was only a bit of a delay and plans are still moving forward by some towards more regulations; and now that the market seems to be digesting that, it, along with probably mostly all the markets in general selling off, seem to have pulled back the reigns on any new rally for the time being.

I'm still really curious what I asked above, "Can you explain better what sort of specific regulation you actually feel the world really needs on crypto that we don't have already and how you feel those specific regulations would help the growth?" These sorts of questions and discussions are going on everywhere now and maybe someone involved may see our discussions too. You never know. All the best

Hi buddy

Im doing my best to reply all messages and I hope I will not miss any. The truth is that steemit isnt very user friendly and it's easy to skip some comment.

I would love to be able to keep in touch privately as well. Perhaps you could find me on facebook: Piotr Leib (Im with my little dog and my malaysian partner).

Im always trying to find a way to keep in touch privatly with those that I value. Hope you dont see anything dodgy and wrong about it. No pressure anyway.

I think I replied about my personal view related to regulations. As trader or investor I would like to know how to pay taxes and I need to feel confident that I wont be surprissed out of the blue.

People like me do not need any specific regulations, but we want to be able to build our businesses in safe environment. Or at least as safe as possible. Without threats that our efforts will be jeopardized within few month with another wave of fear and panic sell caused by another attempt to regulate this market.

What do you think?

Yeah, I know what you mean on steemit not being very user friendly.

I hear you on not wanting to be surprised out of the blue with tax regulations. That really seems to be the biggest problem. I've seen in many articles where supposedly governments had surprised people on that without any clear warning at all. That to me is their biggest mistake and where your desire for simplicity resonates the most. A big part of that is also the way what we used to call "news" has become more a game of polarized propaganda that often seems more like tabloid gossip than anything else.

I still think something similar to the 90's general "hands off" moratorium on the internet would be best for this still very young market and they should make very clear for X number of months/years, but if Y, then Z taxes would be due. I just think it's a bit of a pipe dream to reach very much global consensus, given the differences and complexities each nation has. In a way G20 is much about the whales attempting to dictate what the smaller fish do. Simple Clarity should be of the highest importance for markets to really develop.

All the best

The problem with news agencies in current days is that they are being influenced by different powers.
So like you said, news = propagands. Luckily we have youtube influencers and more content builders. This surely will help to some degree.

"I still think something similar to the 90's general "hands off" moratorium"

Could you tell me more about it? Im not sure what are you refereing to.

Very true on the battling "powers" behind the propaganda.

On the other question, they basically said to the world they were going to leave the internet tax free under the Clinton years, which I believe was a key to the way the global economy really grew in those years and played a big factor in the build out of the internet. Then Bush came along, 911 and so much began to change very dramatically around the world, which had a negative influence in so many ways ever since. I'll have to dig in to get more specifics for any post I may make on this subject.
