"Upvoting Sharing Is Being a Better Human, Not A Loser"
i bet alot of scarcity mentality on Steem comes from a place of insecurity about self-value, possession and a lacking in a human-made concept/idea called money, or comparison to other humans, etc, etc
maybe Steem should change the word "Upvote" (which when i first heard of it, honestly it sounds like something going up the arse - or when you support an arsy politicion w/o knowing any better.... Ha! the 2nd part just came to mind now) to something more meaningful like "Reward"....i mean we already call it the reward pool neh?
So it's now, we can better build a communities and our ecosystem by:
reward giving
reward sharing
reward earning
or just whatever, being a self-rewarder
This comment's quote was by me....because imitation is the highest form of flattery ;)
p.s. personally, we should just fork Steem ( ;D ) and create a new form of reward mechanism and call it "Cheers" .....check out these Rad Ideas i'm just throwing around to mind-fcuk shit up :P
