Your thinking mirrors mine, though I'm a minnow in every way. I've had to stop voting purely for curation rewards, lest I have no power to give to others. The fun part is being able to actually give something tangible away. I was at .006 before HF19, and now I'm at around .20. Small potatoes--your gains are far and away bigger than mine--but still, I can see the effects when I vote, and I'm trying to make sure those effects are concentrated for those that are doing the best work.
Thanks for the post. I'm following.
