No, I was in no way trying to disagree with you or disrespect you. None of that. I was just trying to get some rationale behind why people may or may not vote. Like I said, I've just started here and with the markets the way they are, I moved some crypto into Steem. That had the unintended benefit of boosting my votes. I'm happy about it. But after spending a couple weeks here, I just think Steem is a good investment. And now I love the platform.
I was in no way offended. In fact, I was worried I might be offending you. :-) Anyway, thank you very much for replying to me. I now understand your rationale and it's a logical one to have. I personally still think that unless you're spending hours and hours on here, I'd just vote for what you like and don't worry about whether it's still 100% or not. As you pointed out, the difference between 100% and 50% of $.03 is pretty small. But at least I now understand your logic. So thank you again.
Incidentally, we're having this conversation because your original post was really very, very good. In fact, it was my first official resteem. :-) You've got one more follower. Steem On as they say....
It's all good, man. I was not offended at all. I truly enjoy the discourse. Last month my upvote was only worth .01, so I am still getting used to always having something tangible. I pretty much do upvote things that I like regardless of how much I have, but will abstain from voting in order to get close to 100%, but that usually means abstaining from steemit. But since I don't upvote comments, I try really hard to at least reply and acknowledge what people are saying to me.
And like I said, there are good incentives to be more liberal with your upvote. For one, it helps to build your network because people will remember you. It also makes sense from a monetary standpoint as you will earn more curation rewards. It is also probably a more efficient use of your influence over the reward pool.
I just like the idea of being able to give someone that 100% full power vote as a way to recognize really exceptional pieces. That will be a lot easier once I get past 500SP.

I see that. It's looking like sometime in the next few days might be a good time for you to get started on the cryptos. Bloodbath right now....
