Thankfully you've gotten a hell of a lot of comments man! That's awesome, sorry for not stopping by sooner. Too many damn things going on and it's hard to keep up posting and commenting lol first world problems :D
I hear you dude, it's a little annoying when I see posts with minimal effort getting wild rewards. That's the nature of things though, some of those people get on auto voters from people that used to be incredibly active on the platform and for one reason or another they are now largely inactive. I get a little annoyed but then remember that building a stake in good times and bad times is how things go. If we can manage to power through the difficult times, when the good times come around like they usually eventually do, we are able to churn out some serious content and rewards.
Think of what that 4.3k HP will be able to do when the price comes back up to 1.50 or 2$ per Hive. You'll be in a pretty good position! You'll also have probably a decent amount more HP at that point too, so it's certainly all timing.
I know you got the good graces of Marky which was awesome and I think that has seriously helped you grow your account but what also makes it difficult is when things like that change, it gets discouraging lol I used to get some good votes from bigger accounts fairly regularly but then things happen and have fallen off a bit. It's good to have both situations occur, getting the good benefits as well as when those benefits go away for some reason. We can appreciate and work on growing what we can!
I think you're doing great man, I know I've seen way more comments on your posts than most people get and I think that's great. Eventually those turn into some good rewards, so let's keep on building together my friend!
Thanks for this quality feedback man.
Ya I hear you man, it can be hard sometimes to keep on top of everything. Just have to do our best and keep buiding as you say.
I'm delighted with all of the engagement it stirred up and after reading through all the comments, I'm seeing that I'm doing just fine. I think it stems from having those Marky upvotes for a while and then losing them that got to me a bit as well. I was thinking they were there to stay and was projecting my growth accordingly, but in hindsight I was lucky to have them as long as I did and it definitely helped me to grow.
I'm going to keep building and have 500HBD savings coming free tomorrow and plan to convert to Hive and keep 500 liquid and upgrade the rest to HP... When Hive and HBD hit parity again, I'll buy back the 500 HBD, that's my plan anyway!
