RE: My week as a Dolphin

in #steemit7 years ago

I could be off, but if I feel like I’ve upvoted more than 10% large accounts I cool it and save some for other people.

That wasn't meant to criticize your count, but because I was hoping for an easy way to get one of my own. (I think you knew this but just in case.)

The thing is, I have capital and I'm willing to use it. My experiment is still a long ways from complete, but I'm reasonably convinced that I could do well both for myself and for the platform even if I never got a vote that I didn't pay for. (At least as long as that one whale is selling me his votes at a huge discount.) Votes on top of that are great - but probably more meaningful to someone else. I feel like I'm almost telling you not to vote for me now, and that isn't my point. It's your vote.

But your understanding of my goals here means a lot more to me.

Sort:  

I didn’t fully realize you were buying your vote although I suspected with the high payouts.. I’ll probably still upvote for you sometimes because I like you but knowing that, maybe I’ll save some of my votes for you til after you stop buying votes. I’m not really a fan of buying votes but I can still be friends with people who have different opinions of it.

I think it's more important that we agree on this part:

My long term goal at the platform (aside from just doing my thing) is to create as many responsible dolphins as possible, get as much of the wealth towards the middle as possible, particularly in the hands of people who will continue to help others with it.

There is a method to my madness. It may take a while for me to be able to communicate it though.
