RE: Life Ain't "Fair" and Neither Is Steem. Deal with It and Self-Vote Away.

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

I already did, it composes maybe 25% of the total that I got from powering down.

I consider promoting my own posts with votes to be both redundant and egotistical. So I don't do it. But I'm in a minority, and always have been with this. This didn't stop me from working my way up, without sacrificing my at the time, non-existing capital. I used my time, and my brain, instead.

The solution is not going to be either obvious, or, probably, as complicated as some think. I am continuing to use my brain to explore options, as you can see in my latest post. The changes in HF19 were not completely thought out, and the evidence is available for everyone to see.

Also, I think it can be debated extensively that sacrificing time and brain power is more costly than risking an easy to calculate amount of surplus capital monetary resources. It also happens to demand of the player, in this situation, more rigorous logic to defend the initiative usually born from a simple hunch, than the simple economic calculation of profit, loss and risk, simply because it is a far more complex set of variables. These are the things that our brains have evolved to solve, and the simple economic calculations are a product of that, not the computational process of our subconscious minds.
