My SteemAuto Fanbase Settings

While the social strength of my network here on the Steem blockchain is growing exponentially on a daily basis, my financial worth is stagnant, and due to the current downward trend in the value of the Steem token, I've even noticed a slight decrease in my own net worth already, which is surprising, being that I am not normally very vigilant about such things. I'm not an economist or accountant, and I don't spend vast amounts of time studying the graphs on sites like CoinMarketCap.com or similar.

As I may have mentioned before in previous blog posts, I'm just a sickness beneficiary with too much time on my hands, and not enough liquid funds to sink into efforts like investing in $ˢᵗᵐ. That is why I love the concept of earning crypto through creation and curation. While my health situation means that I can't realistically do much these days, I certainly can create content and upvote & comment on other people's content.

 

I can be a bit of a victim of my own success sometimes, being that people here seem to routinely miss the fact that I'm still very new to the Steem ecosystem. I often get requests for delegation, or donation of "a small amount of Steem/SBD, such as $1-2ˢᵇᵈ worth". I've never had more than $5ˢᵇᵈ in my wallet here, and even then that was from a prize for a competition which I had entered! If I had more spare cash laying around, or lost down the back of the couch, I would gladly invest it in $ˢᵗᵐ to boost the value of my account, and even power it up as Vests (SP). But unfortunately, that just isn't realistic in my position.

However, one thing I can do is ensure that some of you people who have engaged with me here on the Steem blockchain are appropriately acknowledged. Even though I am using @steemchiller's SteemWorld.org site and @neander-squirrel's @ginabot notification service, I am still n00bie enough here to not really know yet how to use them effectively. I'll learn, over time, I'm sure. But in the meantime, I tend to miss a lot of what is going on here on the Steem blockchain. As I don't like to skimp out on recognising and acknowledging those who have helped me achieve what I have here so far, I am going to do what I can. I know that I can't delegate anything to your favourite pet project yet, but I can ensure that you at least get upvotes from me!

That is where SteemAuto.com comes in handy. Over the last few days I have started setting up some auto-upvotes on some of the Fanbases that I follow. I already had two of these established for @teamnz and @anzub, my fellow antipodeans from the AUS & NZ Discord server. Those people have helped me a lot to establish myself on the Steem blockchain. I was even offered some extra delegation from them in my very first week of being on Steem, but I was so new back then that I turned down that kind offer until I could understand more about what "delegation" actually meant in terms of Steem. Now I am a grateful recipient of their ongoing support, having eventually grasped this concept.

Are you on my "nice"  list? 🎅

I have added another 11 accounts to my auto-upvote list over the last few days. These accounts will start receiving automated upvotes from me, as a way of thanking you for your input into my life here on the Steem blockchain. I have singled out the @steemmonsters, @chibera, @steempunknet (and the associated @steempunksnet) accounts of my favourite Steem-powered games for some extra special love. They will currently get up to three 100% upvotes per day from my account. I am also auto-upvoting my two sponsors, @ryivhnn and @lemony-cricket with one 100% upvote per day, to say thanks for helping me to get started on Steem. The other five (so far) who will receive one 100% auto-upvote per day from me are mostly the giants of the #steemmonsters community, from whom most of my current collection of SM monster cards have come, including @coruscate, @isaria, @reseller, @littlescribe, and @clove71.

This is just my little way of showing my appreciation, thanking people for their help and input into my life here on Steem. I will be keeping a close eye on my Voting Power over the next few days, to see how much these auto-upvotes affect it. Depending on how things go, I may need to adjust sliders up or down, or even add or remove some from my list. I am certainly hoping to be able to add more people to my list! We'll have to see how it goes.

I am a proud member of the AUS & NZ Discord server. My thanks to @cryptonik for making me this cool #TeamNZ banner. Kia Kaha!
