The great thing about Steem is the ability to earn passive income even when you are away. I take advantage of @smartsteem and use their whitelist to sell votes when I know I will not be curating for a few weeks, like recently when I was gone for the last two weeks for the holidays. Sometimes the whitelist misses a few people, so thank you for pointing out the quality of content I was upvoting. When I am not on vacation, I spend most of my upvoting power every day manually upvoting, FYI. However, when you spend over 1 million dollars of your money on Steem, what attracted me to buy that much in the first place was the fact passive income was here if I choose not to be active on Steem.

Appreciate the great feedback. Wasn't sure if the passive income option was part of what made you decide to invest in Steem, but reading this puts a smile on my face.
Now regarding the user - feel free to blacklist each user you don't want to sell your vote to. In this case, I've gone ahead and added him to the general blacklist of Smartsteem.
Term "passive INCOME" IMO doesn't really make sense for not stable-coins, because it doesn't matter that if you had 100 STEEM and now you have 110, if a price of Steem was $1.00 and later it was for example $0.90. Despite earning through passive income 10%, you actually lost money.
First and IMO main concern of all investors should not be how much of tokens they have, but how to increase value of them.
From my point of view, basically... people earn money always when they can predict the future. And IMO the easiest way of predicting future ... is actually creating it.
Steem has a great community and Steem truly belongs to all users. That is why I am pretty that we will figure out all the problems sooner or later :) We will create our future Steem together :)
Sure, the possibility to earn passive income is great. But with great power comes great responsibility, so it would be cool if you could checked the highest sold upvotes from time to time and contact @therealwolf in case you see crap getting upvoted, so that he can adjust his blacklist :) Or you even can set your own one!
