Many thanks to you, your post are vital, well articulated, concise and straight to the point.
As a newbie, I found this post as a manual to run with on this platform.
However the key points I extracted from your post will serve as a moral lesson to me. Which includes: "ADDING VALUE" it is something I can't trade for anything if I must succeed on this platform.
"FOLLOW MINNOWS AS WELL AS WHALES" It talks of humility, In steem, everyone is important in which is a great virtue in which I must apply.
"BLOW YOUR REPUTATION AND YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME". This simply implies that pride goeth before a fall.
I will run with this key points listed above. That is why I make bold to say that there is nothing intrinsically wrong that I am a member of STEEM.
Thank you so much!
