You are one of the most prolific and generous people on the blockchain, and as much as you put into it, it is no wonder that you want to protect that. It isn't just a money thing....it is the time that is also invested. I understand some folks need to take sometimes to survive and in fact, I have been in that situation before. But for skinners and farmers I have no love.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go power up my .002 ;)
Thank you, and yes there's a lot of time invested as well,but this is about the blockchain generally, it needs support and there's people out there doing that...but many who simply take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take...younger the idea.
I figured a few would comment with the "got to live" scenario, but here's the thing...give a man a fish and he'll eat, teach him to fish and he'll...umm...eat way more. You know?
I have to live to you know...one doesn't have to live in a third world country to have struggles. Others have to live also...Hive isn't a bank but that's how people see it. This post, and others like it recently, will not change things...but I'll not be supporting those who take all the time...I'd rather give my vote to someone who supports and if they need it or not...I don't care, I feel they deserve it because they're out there supporting everyone with their own power ups and votes.
Edit: Lolled at your 0.002 comment.
It also matters not to me if a person needs the upvote or not. I will say that I have not been as sharp at judging merit as I should be, but it's getting better the more I exercise the voting.
It takes a little more time for sure, but I'd rather invest the time and support those who feel beholden to the blockchain and want to support it by staking and voting others. Whether a person needs an upvote or not never enters my mind, I vote on merit and commensurate to how that person engages, the personality, effort and passion they show.
