Something I will definitely be looking into. Thanks for the kind words @rok-sivante (Every time I write your name I have a new appreciation for it.) Thanks again for sharing the story behind it as a post, and not a reply in the comment section. It allowed you to expound in a way that comments would not have done justice to.
One of the few places where comments actually carry extreme value. I try to take the time to carefully create my comment (even though some are probably too long), but I feel it is respectful to show:
1.) That you took the time to read the article
2.) To say what you liked or disagreed with
3.) To help that user with ideas that may benefit them regardless of whether or not it has a direct effect on your wallet
And fringe benefits to valuable comments:
1.) Earn respect
2.) Earn money
3.) Gain followers who appreciate your time and effort helping them
I think this is one of the very few sites that I am unafraid to share my beliefs out of fear someone will post hateful/derogatory comments to me. Those that do have their voices silenced and don't wind up hurting me so much as themselves.
Thanks for all the hard work (@sirwinchester) and the impact you have made on my sons life (@bendjmiller222). He has told me about your conversations on Facebook and I'd like to wish you a safe time in Germany and wish you continued success.
This is my second comment ever and I decided I would share all rewards with my son since I am now retired, but I look forward to seeing more of your work even though I am usually not very visible on here and mostly enjoy reading the articles and seeing much of the photography (which is one of my passions).
thank you for your comment! It makes me smile to know that I have inspired someone's life and that your son even talked to you about it. What is a whale compared to that feeling ?!
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate all your kind words. Glad to hear you enjoy using steemit :)
I feel so honored by your post, no upvote money or whale could compare to the feeling you have when you've inspired someone.
Thank you so much for all the effort you've put into writing this. Of course all the profits are yours, as a reward for your time and effort you put into creating this article.
It's crazy how many new people I've met during my short time here on Steemit, and to read those kind words from you and @stellabelle means a lot.
Hearing that I have inspired people motivates me to continue posting and creating more content!
Again thank you for taking the time to write this, wish I could upload more than once ;)
That actually brings up a good point. Why can't we upvote more than once? If we upvote twice would it not still use the same amount voting power? I would figure that the system was designed this way for a reason, but it would be interesting to hear exactly why.
You just have to keep on doing what you're already doing @sirwinchester you have whaledom written all over you
Thanks! I wanted to make sure that people knew I was doing this because I really like where he is taking steemit and not because I want to profit off his success. I see the long term value over short term gains.
Yes people working together and inspiring each other without a sense of greed or trying to cheat them is a beautiful thing. @sirwinchester is also confident in his abilities, but not cocky or arrogant. Very approachable down to earth guy. I'm honestly impressed with what he has accomplished in such a short time frame.
Keep networking and commenting/learning from those that are on their way up and are willing to take time and help you. Too many people focus on just trying to get a whale vote. Whales are very busy, but aspiring minnow should be happy to help if they have the time. The whole ecosystem only works when people help each other.
He does seem like a pretty cool cat.
Great intro to the dude, and expression of appreciation.
You are an excellent advocate. (Will make sense when you get into the Ultinate Investment Plan CD set).

I consistently find comments/replies turning into new posts/stories of their own... a steady stream of fresh inspiration at every turn... ;-)

Couldn't agree with that more, nearly a third of my posts were inspired by interactions in the comment section.

While this story by @rok-sivante is fascinating and well worth the read Origin of Rok Sivante's Name
I also go into a bit of detail about my own in the comments if you wish to read there as well.

I love to see how friendships form on steemit! very nice what you did there for him :)

Truly inspiring Thanks for this post!
Hopefully that takes your own content to a new level :) We should always be striving to get better not only on steemit, but at anything we do.
i couldn't agree more - always be your best - is there any other way???
That's good news to me- as i am a hard worker!
