I think you are missing the point of this...
A large part of the reason you are having a hard time getting to 500 SP is because so many people have used it as an ATM and powered out. I know it is hard and that is why I am trying to do something about it. The argument amount starting a new account is invalid because, I don't have to start from scratch because I powered up which allows me to help others. If more over the last year had done similar, there would be many more like me and people such as yourself could grow faster. Understand?
Don't knock us for helping others bro
You think that I have not helped others...
Ok I get your point now, I misunderstood. Dan took out a few Million, I guess others have also, as I am fairly new you will know better than me who and when, keep up the good fight then.
It is much harder to get to 500sp the higher steem goes.
When i got a 20sbd payout at .10 usd steem i got 100sp, now at 4usd steem i get 2.5 sp.
Dont let goldenboy fool you, he is one of them or he wouldnt have been allowed those rewards.
Bloody hell I really did miss the boat then.
Yep, unless we get one more dip in the price buying stake is going to be pricey.
