I must say, a big thumbs up 👍👍👍 to you @davemccoy for putting up this very informative post. I had to read and re-read it, cause it contains somuch information that can transform the life of any minnow here on steemit who comes in contact with it - a true manual for minnows. Surely deserves a resteem.
On the discussion of your reputation and why it matters, I love a quote by Warren Buffet:
'' It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently. ''
It sure takes time and effort to build your reputation here on steemit. There are no short cuts, your money has little to do with your reputation, that's why you can find people with alot of steem power, but yet have a reputation of 25. Only your hard work and midnight candles determines how high you rise in reputation at Steemit. Depending only on the quality of your content, other users, preferably higher-ranked users, will read your content and decorate it continuously with more upvotes.
I use www.steemd.com so much, because it has helped me monitor not just my reputation, but also my steem power, those who upvoted my post, how much steem power was allocated to my post, and so much more. It's really an important weapon you should have in your arsenal, for an effective steemit experience.
To answer your request, a topic I would like you to discuss is '' Understanding the difference between Steem, Steem power, and SBD'', cause during my first days on steemit, I got really confused on the difference between these three.
As a final word, I'll like to state that from what we have learnt from @davemccoy, we should keep one thing in mind as we contemplate the overall importance of reputation score here on steemit : A rich person can very easily become poor, but the hardest working person will always be the richest!
So keep building that reputation and who knows? One day, you might just be the first Steemian to get to Level 100!. Thank you.
omgosh @stellastella that is so awesome of a reply I don't even know where to start... I know I don't really have to say much about it, because its like our minds were already synced :)
First,I thank you so much for finding me (I want to be connected to you FOR SURE). And thank you for both complimenting me and validating the information. The more that others understand how this works, the better for us all. And I can tell by your understanding you will be one of the mentors to many others.
I love the quote by Buffet, it is so true... And I really loved your quote:
"A rich person can very easily become poor, but the hardest working person will always be the richest!"
Again thank you so so much and I'm very excited to be your teammate going forward!

Awwn. Your words are so kind. Thank you so much, I really appreciate. Thank you for the link, you truly have a heart of gold, can't wait to get more posts born from that heart of yours. All the best. I'll surely participate.
Ditto to you too @stellastella... I look very much forward to staying in touch with you! :)
Also, you are the first I've noticed that has learned how to "bold" words inside of a sentence... If you could give me your secret (if its not patented) that would be awesome. I could use another tool to get my points across... (I think people get tired of seeing too many of my basic emphasis tools, so adding bolding might be a little easier on the eyes) ;)
Sure that's true. Okay, if you want to make a word or sentence bold, all you have to do is put two asterics before and after the word or sentence. Example ** hello **, make sure to remove the spaces between the asterics and the 'h' and the 'o'. I left the spaces to emphasize the asterics. I hope this helps. All the best
thanks for the lesson, now I'm going to see if I can follow directions... Hope it works
😊 awesome
thanks teach!
awesome, you are a good teacher! Thank you @stellastella :)
