I guess I don't get it, upvoting others would be more profitable in the long run because a healthy ecosystem would attract new users, and growth = value.
Because he's not an investor. He hopes to ride the wave and trade out at the first opportunity, but all of his lofty predictions have failed, so he's going to stick around.
He's not interested in truth...he never has been. Even irrefutable truths prove to be beyond his ability to admit. He will never bring up the rancho situation himself because he holds guilt for it. He tried to dupe the Steem community by colluding with someone else and got caught. Now he's imprisoned by his lie. He can never tell the truth now.
He loves the thought of himself being the victim. He claims to have only downvoted in self defense, but that is not true. Early in the war he downvoted me on several occasions for simply disagreeing with him and presenting unflattering, yet true, facts.
There's a reason why people end up turning on him. @Dan first upvoted haejin before downvoting him numerous times, @done did the same thing...even @berniesanders upvoted @haejin 3 times before he ever gave the first downvote. The guy is a parasite and he knows it, and so does anyone else who follows his actions with an objective mind.
