Yeah, I had a look at your wallet and see some movement there.
It makes sense to stake, but at times (a long time ago) I moved some to exchanges and traded...then moved it back and staked. The curation I earn tells the story I guess, that's earned through staking and voting others. If people don't want to do it that's their choice...they'll not be getting my votes.
New users...yeah, I'll not support those who don't stake and the takers, especially if they post many times a day are more likely to get a downvote from me. The same for those who delegate 100% of their stake as you mention.
People seem not to grasp the fact that they have to give to get, like your comment about reciprocation. So, they can do as they like but so can you and I and others with stake. We earned the stake the hard way, it didn't come easy to me and I started with no investment other than my words and images and my engagement...others could learn from that and yourself and others like you.
I totally agree. My hope is that after this next bull run I am going to be able to do one really large power up. Then I will just keep plugging along powering up like I have been as I can. I think I should easily be over 100K HP by this time next year.
Power up a lot, that's the only way to build a decent stake unless one is inclined to buy it and power up in one go.
I've bought some hive with outside funds here and there. Some of it came from WAX, the rest came from my stake on that other chain. Fingers crossed I play my cards right in the next year and I don't screw up too badly.
