I think the new strategy is 1. becoming a whale, 2. creating an upvote bot where people send you SBD for votes, 3. reap the rewards of everyone sending you SBD for "Free Votes", 4. reap the rewards of your bot by sending SBD to it yourself (then sending the SBD back to you in a big recycling of your own SBD), 5. destroy the future of Steemit (check out my link in my previous post for a slightly more detailed viewpoint).
Strategy for everyone else is 1. develop a following, 2. develop content that people will read / upvote, 3. pray that people actually look at your content and upvote you .. a much more difficult endeavor ...
two questions...what is a what (how much SteemPower) ...how does one become a whale?
