Hradfork 19 pre-release @ @steemitblog/pre-release-hf19

YVhXDJ = 3% discount @ genesis-mining.com

Every person is right where he or she needs to be in my world, not lost.

1% of my time is worth more than all the people and things in all the places where I can ride my bicycle at 2pm, when the 99% is at work.

If I imagine something greater than my mind, it's still in my mind... Craig :)... read more

This fork looks like a huge value boost to STEEM Hodlers.
I just added my Steem address on Genesis Mining. Pointing all ETH hashrate at STEEM for the entire 2yr contract.

very nice indeed

craigemslie (50) · 8 years ago

Craig, first of all, GREAT NAME! haha

Thank you for all the info, I'm new to the Steem community, thus your video is invaluable to me!
Thank you and...
STEEM ON!

tfeldman (65) · 8 years ago

Really well thought out. Totally agree that these changes are going to be great. Anything to increase steem power investors....trapping that money for just a little bit...so people don't sell right away...giving time for the price rise to stabilize... Steem to 10 bucks! I think voting for yourself is totally okay...it is your stake! Still appreciate your generosity throughout your time here. Cheers man.

avarice (60) · 8 years ago

@craig-grant I've been on the platform for a while, but watching your videos I've learned some really insightful things. I feel like I've missed quite a lot of opportunities to grow my stake in the community through my own ignorance, but from your videos I'm learning more about the mechanics of the platform that will hopefully help to speed up my growth.

Blogging is mining

I hadn't really thought about it this way, but you raise a very good point.

sevinwilson (65) · 8 years ago

Thanks for your clear explanation on this! I think a lot of people will reduce their vote percentage, but I am curious about this!

Blogging is mining!

I think it is a good idea that it doesn't matter when you vote!!

kanedizzle08 (54) · 8 years ago (edited)

so why don't you vote on just regular people. you don't just go around looking at stuff and just vote on stuff that you like? The votes are to let people know that you think it is good content. I think we should vote on what we like. yes its cool to upvote your self of course, but just to say you don't vote on things unless they are new or is weird to me. If everyone just voted there own things the site would be pointless. I like your videos that is why I upvote it. Keep making videos just wanted to know why you only vote on them two things.

craig-grant (75) · 8 years ago

right, most people are not like me, and that's why I can do what I do with no problem

ladycrypto (51) · 8 years ago

Sounds like a good time to stock up more Steem power before June!

maryfavour (63) · 8 years ago

Absolutely @ladycrypto!

lenatramper (67) · 8 years ago

hey craig, I thought about to make a curation trail, are you also interested to make one?

craig-grant (75) · 8 years ago

a trail that follows my votes would be great, but not my vote following someone else, because I use all my votes by voting manually everyday

lenatramper (67) · 8 years ago

ah ok cause I want to do one

kanedizzle08 (54) · 8 years ago

whats a curation trail?

craig-grant (75) · 8 years ago

you can setup your votes to automatically vote what someone else votes, you trail their votes

kanedizzle08 (54) · 8 years ago

really how I never saw that before

Craig, I have a question if u don't mind helping me out; do I always need to buy BTC first and exchange it for steem? Or can I purchase steem outright from an exchange?

craig-grant (75) · 8 years ago

steem is not available on any exchange for USD purchase

steemon (45) · 8 years ago (edited)

man, thanks for the video explanation of the fork... I'm pretty much out of the loop of all the changes of steem. though I'm a 'early adopter' I never really figured this whole system of voting power =)
I think its #goodforsteem to change and adopt, right?

EDIT: resteemed your post

maryfavour (63) · 8 years ago

Fantastic one as always @craig-grant! Three major lessons learnt. (1) Get more steem power before hf19 happens. (2) Work hard to improve my reputation. (3) Learn to be prudent with my votes, since that is my 'mining equipment'. Thanks a million!!!

I only recently joined Steemit so your videos are really helping me discover how it all works, so thanks!

natevegas (53) · 8 years ago

I like the future of Steem because its hovering just north of a dollar right now and has a platform anyone can interact with it, trade it to another user, vote and grow channels they like, and even transfer and sell some extra. You can't do that with Ripple, Bitcoin, or many others. All you can do with them is either buy, hold, trade, or sell that's it. This steemit platform lets the "common" man or woman produce and participate in intellectual ideas, thoughts, blogs, pictures, videos, jokes and on and on.

oluwoleolaide (68) · 8 years ago

What's the correlation between Hardfork and the Reward pool? Cos i wouldn't let it affect my -CRYPTOTHERAPY

rangertx (65) · 8 years ago

I think we should make it impossible to use your voting power on yourself. While doing that we should make it more rewardable to use the voting power on other users. That would change the energy on steemit. Just my point of view. Thanks for the video! I liked it more than if I have to read about it :)

craig-grant (75) · 8 years ago

this would be ok for power that was earned, but not for power that was purchased

arsenal49 (63) · 8 years ago

Yes, very true! Didn't think of that.

freedomlover (33) · 8 years ago

thank you for the knowledge on voting power.
I've only been on steemit a few days and it is very time consuming trying to figure this all out, but it's quite fun!
Btw
I found you through you tube 🍻😎✌️
