I Just came home from work and I've just found out that 'Hard Fork 19' already took place!
Because I was curious about what this change would do with the value of the posts who did not received a payment but where already posted before the HF, I did check them out...
I couldn't believe my eyes... 15$ became 74$!
My post, about securing your passwords and secret keys, who did not had a pay out yet did rise in value A LOT! (To be honest, I put a lot of effort in this one, and I wasted some money on the promotion of it, which had almost no effect!) This post about encrypting your USB drive was worth 15$ before the hard fork, now it is 74$! It's amazing! This makes me happy!
The same happend with my brother's first post
I convinced my brother ( @woozelwazzel ) to join this amazing community, and this week he finally joined! It seems it was a great moment to join Steemit! He made his first post two days ago, his introduction post. It was worth 9$ before the hard fork took place, and now it became 50$! I think he will be really happy and will be extra motivated to share his creativity with us!
(He knows a lot about stocks, he is a great musician, he makes nice paintings and he makes beautiful photos & I love him so much. We call each other "best frothers", which is a combination of 'friend' and 'brother').
Even my comments are now worth something!
Yesterday I asked @jrcornel or he knew what would happen with the value of our existing posts who did not yet had a pay out... It seems he was right that my post, who had it's value from upvotes from "mid sized accounts", did go up in value! For the fun I said to him "This post may be a good experiment for that", it seems i was right. My upvote who was worth 30 cents, became 2.14$ in value!!! (edit: his post was about the hard fork, I enjoyed it, take a look if you want, the title was "I'll see you all on the other side", and yes, it is a whole other side!).
Are you enjoying the hard fork to?
Damn, this feels great! I did bought me some more Steem to make a little profit ("buy the rumour, sell the news"), but I think I'll keep it and power it up! I think a lot of people are enjoying this hard fork, just like me!Let me know in the comments what your experiences are with the new hard fork! I'll upvote your comment, with my empowered votes!
Enjoy your powerrrr!!!
Yeah it is great isn't it
I love it! Thanks for your reply!
Thanks for posting this.
This seems very interesting - but I am wondering, where do the funds for all this come from?
The reward pool i guess? Maybe it's "filled again" after the hard fork? I have no idea to be honest! It seems my upvote is now worth 8 cent! I love it!
This is indeed good news. Newbies are able to fill their Steem Power stack soon enough before the 'starter pack' is removed and more people will invest in Steemit long term by converting Steem into Steem Power.
Thanks for insights. Seems we all experiece the same gains. And honestly these gains are much higher then i expected.
Upvoted n followed now.
Thanks a lot! :-) I wish u the best with this new distributed rewards!
@skririm interesting post brother :)
What does hard fork mean? Please explain. Did the Steemit creators make this hard fork decision or it was done by some algorithm?
