I don't think he's a lost cause. I think he was trying to be helpful to the blockchain but I don't think he is an expert on the bid bot area really. All I gotta do is open your wallet and wow 10,000 Steem. How much of that did the bid bots earn you? Like 1,000? lol
I also think he should know that you are buying steem and not transferring it out. I REALLY think you should be allowed to use the bots and perhaps even be eligible for a free upvote if your post was underpaid. @acidyo
You might have bought at a good time. It sure is an interesting time though. lol #buysteem ???
