I'm glad you went meta, on us all :)
I don't mind spending $100 to boost my blogs, because right now, I see Steem as being incredibly undervalued.
This is a very effective way in profiting from the platform! If Steem moves from where it is today, to $1.30 where it has touched 500 times in the past 6 months... Every dollar you make today, would effectively be worth 30% more.
And this is also why I think its equally as important, not to power down. Anyone that is powering down, or sending Steem off-platform is losing a lot of value. A lot of their sold Steem, came from a time when Steem was worth $1.25-$2.00... I guess they don't realize they are losing 25+ percent.
And never forget, charity starts at home. The more we make, the more we can give
