A very interesting and fun personal story that might help a lot of newcomers if they find it and will have the patience and dedication to read it through.
However, one thing "poked me in the eye."
A 100% vote from @bdvoter is worth almost $250!
That's actually not so! - Their 100% vote at 100% Voting Power, at the moment, would be worth $34.67.
You may check that here. 🙂
Thanks for showing me a new hive site :) I made the edit and appreciate the information!
