RE: Where My Engagement / Votes Went In 2018. Where, Who Did Your Support Go Too Last Year
It'll be interesting to see how those pies change by the end of 2019, @wolfhart, because, as I you allude to, the folks you were upvoting as minnows who are now dolphins (of which I am happy to be listed among :), will alter who you've been voting for to some degree, even if you don't change who you're upvoting for (if such a thing were possible as much as people come and go around here).
That said, your pie was a little more upward tending than mine, and I don't think that's a bad thing. One, it means you're aware of some dolphins and orcas who actually post, and two, in doing so, you make yourself known to them. Whether that pays off or not for you, obviously, is up to them, but the folks upstream need to continue to build stake in order to be there to curate the rest of us downstream.
So, glad you did this post, and kudos to @priyanarc for giving you the idea. :)
Some of the dolphin post and engage a lot. And it only takes a few to influence the data. Even Asher became a Dolphin in 2018. So I agree that as time goes on we will engage with dolphin and orcas more because we were raised with and they have become friends.
Hence the foundation reference. And it is the same in life as we grow older and we and our friends become more influential.
I also think that the dolphins and orcas do more downstream supporting then any other time. Or at least for the year I have been here.
I still hope the price stays low so I can make it to Dolphin Statues. If the price goes up I might miss the boat.
Well, it would seem that if STEEM is going to become more than what it is, the window for investing at below $1 USD is going to close at some point, right? It's been bouncing around $0.40 here for a solid day, I think, with some relatively high trading volume, too. So, anyway, I've done what I can do for now, but if things were to drop lower than the $0.20 or so it managed a while back, I'd be back in the game. :)
I agree as far as engaging with more dolphins as time goes by because they'll be us. Orca status is a stretch still, but anyway, the more of us who can take advantage of the lower prices to build stake, the better.
Yea I am about tapped out myself. I was hopping to do a little buy-in in February but that is not looking to good. I will see its still 10-15 days away. The price is giving me some concern.
It will go up . I have increased my stake during this period, it will never be as high as I would like. ; )
