I get the UpGoat , and i get Resheep, but what play on steemit related words is Swallow?
And i have a question about renting Steempower. I rented steempower once and couldnt even make enough self voting to pay for it! maybe I didn't use up all my power but it was difficult to get a good ROI back, maybe I wasnt timing it right
I wonder how much you can make off your steempower ...And if you should consider it as just more money that you have control of ...
I am wondering about the people who end up wasting their steempower by buying it and then not making enough upvotes to drain theoir vote power
but when your vote power is getting low, it seems to diminish faster, is it not smartto upvote untill your vote power is drtained to 0? or is that the only way to use it all up/ How can I make sure I am using up ALL of the money thats coming to me, how an i make sure i USE al the steempower that my steempower allows for? like how do i make sure, (its hardto get this out corherently bevcause its something my brain isnt used to thinking about) how can i make sure i dont waste the MONEY thatmy Steempower Allows me to give out? Like I want to make sure that every 5 days I dont end up NOT using some of the steempower I COULD have used....
An sjhould we consider thats teempower as OUR money? I consider Self Voting at 1/3rd and voting for others 2/3rd as fair, but if your hurtinga nd NEED to make money u can 100 percent self vote, seems like ity wouldnt be so bad, i mean you ID buy the steempower right?
But thats nly if your enot making money i mean, for me, i get much more out of using my steempower to upvote others, and then that will make me friends, and earn me followers, and get me enough on my own posts from others trhat i dont ned to self upvote!
anyway just had questioons about steempopwer, i hope someone can tell me thir opinion as i understandthere might not be any right ansqer to these questions, who knows if we should consider the money frm our upvotes as Our own money, bcaiuse it IS possible money, (Like potential energy vs kinetuic energy!) but should we consider it OURS because we can give it to ourselves if we want? Wont everyone in teh future just self vote with like 90 percent or more of their voting power>? Seems like people who are desperate might
BUT the answer probly is that peopel who have enough steempower for self vots to raly be profitabl should end up being able to earn ALOT of friends, and followers, like if u can upvote $5 at a timeu canmake A LOT of followers and make A LOT of friends wo will love you! and the more followers u earn the more upovotes and steem u earn!
Anyway thank u so much for your grat program! Im about to send $5 for an upgoat! Im glad i rtead this first! But i notcie when u acicently send more than ur alowed it autopmaticaly refunds you now! very cool!

In my opinion SP is worth it for the social element. People notice your vote, they notice you and get in touch with you. If you can earn your investment back and how, that is something I don't know.
If you have any questions about how voting in general works, please join discord, that would be too much for a comment.
On the self-voting aspect: I believe everyone has the right to do what they want with their SP. so it is your decision if you want to selfvote. I personally vote my own posts but not my comments.
AHH its the FOLLOW swallow! Nice! cant believe I didnt catch that! Hey and thanks for the reply its cool to get to talk top such an important steemit uer, and thank you for helping @bania and supporting steemit team africa, we will make helping steemitmmebers in Africa a whole meme in itself! And youre work is VERY important and youre gaining many many fans believing in minnows and beliving in human potential!
yes i always use my upvotes to gain fans because if i like a post on trending by a whale or dolphin or even minnow, ill upvote everyone inthe post, so very comment will get a fw cents uipvote by me, and thyll ALL notice the upvotes all by the same guy, and it REALY Works especially when you then announce it with a screenshot and say "I upvoted everyone here!"
and yeah its realy fun to imagine the ADVERTISINg value of stempower in teh future when we have AL the yeeballs wen we have millions or hundreds of millions of users like reddits 240 million users, we can show brands that they can buy steempower to promote their OWN posts by self votying them to the top of trending! And because theyl have to buy steempower to do this (and to silence critics of theior brand) the price of steem will gp up[!
Now we should probobly get peopel ready for this and try to get people to hold back on any ort of criticism of flagging of big corporate brands, we want big brands and big companoies to feel safe buying steempower and know that we will accept them as part of the steemit commiunity if they self votetheir own posts OR USE the promoted feature BUT i fel the ide aof just self voting yourpoststo the front page will be a VERY powerful and cost effective tool to get EYEBALLS and if we convince big brands to drop a few grand or a few hundred grand on steempower as a long trm investment they an use to self vote thgeir posts to the front page of trending, then we can get a lot of potential adevrtyiosers to buy up A LOT of steempower!!
OR WE CAN EVEN sell posts from the Steemit Account @steemit which has a lot fo steempower, and we can offer a service where we Upvote your post if you rent the delegated steempower from a whale account OR we just offer the ablity to send a post to the front page y buying an upvote from a powerful whale account! that way the brand advertisers wont need to buy steempower themsevs, we can just let them pay in Bitcoin or Steem to have a whale account (maybe a special AdBot account or something named AdBot or SteemitAds or something, and u can send it SBD and it will automatica;y upvote your post to the top....anyay i should make a post aboutthis to prove to people ho we wont ever need seperate ads and tyhat the ads will be within steemit themselves OR whales can SELL SPACE ion their own pots at the bottom!
Hey thanks fopr the reply! it always an honor to get to speak with you directly! You and the other whale/devs will be seen as your own zuckerbergs and bill gates of your times, becue steemit is going to become much much bigger than most peopel can imagine but I know you are one of the few who can see the potential (But tht we must work for that potential every day and night to manifest it! My own struggle is with my own laziness and how comfortable myt life has become now tht I had gone so long without money and just enjoying growing my plants and not neding much to make myself happy, but I see how selfish it is now, and how theres too many peopel who CANT just chill like that, and sop I have to work hard for not just mydelf but for all thepeopel who cant relax yet, and I have ben trying to double my work on steemit and I will be trying to just focus more on steeit africa and i believe there is a huge reward for all of us who believe in the potential of Africa, My goal is to help the people become paret of a massive cyber middle class, but the BONUS will be the money we will be able to make off helping a billion humans around the world in poverty, Imagine all the money theyll make once theyre all well fed and housed and able to ork to thir full potential! It will be a massive win win
