Put your money where your mouth is
At least that's what some people say when someone is very loud and vocal about a topic when there's nothing at stake. It's easy to be supportive or positive about something when you are not risking anything.
Wether it is time, effort, knowledge, money or creativity, everyone on steem has something at stake. The price of the coin affects us all and, at least I like to think that way, we all care about our platform's health and community's overall behaviour.
I'm loving the New Steem, I'll tell you why in just a few bullet points
- Bid bots are beginning to do manual curation
- People who used to delegate to bots, removed their delegation and are curating again
- High quality authors who once left are coming back to Steem now that the economic model encourages content discovery and manual curation (although I hope curators also remember who stayed during the dry season).
*High quality content creators are being rewarded while spammers/low quality authors are not enjoying themselves under the new curation system. - More people are buying Steem because now, holding and powering up Steem actually represents a good return of investment.
- We can flag now without stop earning money in the process. Whales are now actively downvoting content they dont' agree with reward wise.
For that - and some other reasons - I decided to buy 20k Steem!
For some whales out there it might not be much, but for me it means growing the Steem I own in 40% , from 50k to 70k! I'm really happy and I expect so much from this #NewSteem that I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
greetings, @anomadsoul
Excelent idea, man!!!

Nice one. The last time I made a major purchase of Steem was exactly the same amount, at like $2.50 lol.

I bought at all half dollar prices starting from $6. Lol. Not proud about it. But now bought about 40K. Will see ;)

You are overexposed because you started early:) That aside people in your community loves you though as you are very supportive. Especially steem over there is considered a big deal, and much of a social experiment. Here in US, where it’s born, even in its hometown of Austin,TX nobody knows what steem is!

anomadsoul , estimado te cuento que aun no entiendo mucho steem y como se relacionan las compras con las publicaciones de "buen contenido".Soy artista y quiero ganar y que ganemos todos ,hasta a veces imagino que esta plataforma podría ser menos humana , me gusta esa idea, que los usuarios sean quienes son simplemente y nos alejáramos de lo humano,bueno pero volviendo a las compras atractiva la frase de poner mi dinero donde este mi boca y tener 20k Steem y no se ni lo que es ¡¡¡

So you let the downvoting do by whales? They need to do the job? How about you?
I think if we are all a part of Steem we should all invest in this platform and take the risk to be yelled at.

The downvote by minnows and dolphins has always happened and I do it quite frequently myself, but it's the whales that can actually make a difference towards giant wrongdoers ;)
Which is exactly why I see whales downvoting as something very positive, because it was rare to see it happening as it costed them money to flag people.

yep, there is a counter-intuitive process that happens when you start drying up liquidity, and Steem has a lot of liquidity for this point in time. You'd think that more people powering up would cause everyone's upvote strength to diminish, but the drop in liquidity (if there's a demand) causes a rise in prices, which in turn bumps everyone's upvote value higher than before, despite the pool of steem power being larger. Right there with you, if there ever was a time for people to buy cheap steem, its now or never.

Yes, that's true that bidbods (or maybe only promotion bots) started manual curation. But what's not good is the occurrence of downvote bots.
