Have you ever let @abh12345 know you'd like to be in the weekly accounting for the CEL contest? That is, are you already on his list? If so, I would think, given your passion for good comments, you would do well.
From what I know, those who win, like @wakeupkitty, are just prolific commenters. She could tell you what it takes, as she has actually won!
As for the fate of our Steem blockchain, it is hard to say. I know there is a great deal of talk about a hard fork. With the hope that sufficient numbers of Steemians, like us, would follow the "old guard" into what would likely be a major rebuilding effort ... The current blockchain, now controlled by TRON / Sun, would theoretically then be an "empty shell" ...
Yes, I am included in the list already. And I make it to the top list, too. 😊
And oh yes, Kitty is very efficient in making comments. She's a pro. She even had her entry an the first day that the Proof of Engagement was out. Very quick fellah!
I cannot comment on the Steem's current standing, as I really cannot understand what is the implications of what is happening. I see people powering up. Others are powering down. Chaotic environment nowadays. I don't know what to say. Le sigh.
I am.not a pro and it's still a miracle to me what it takes to win. Look st the list. It's not about commenting only, posts, upvotes count, the amount of words, etc. Each day I try to read, commment, read some new people bit it's clearly not enough..It's a combination of all factors given. This besides of the fact it takes me 10-16 hours a day with my slow connection and mobile phone. That's for sure way more hours the rest invests in this plstform. 💕
