Steem Price Has Dropped, Lets See How Good It Is Together

This is a simple way to prove my point that Steem price dropping is good (see my recent article). Here's what I'm asking you to do. Its easy, I promise!

#1 Tell us how many SP you have right now

#2 Tell us how long you have been on the platform

#3 We will check together in 30 days to see if your rate of accumulation went up

You can easily find that info by going to https://steemd.com/@yourusername (Note: you type in your username)

That's It... I Think You Will Be Surprised In 30 Days ;)

Let's Find Out Together!

Hi Dave, this is only true if you use your SBD to buy more Steem and SBD doesn't fall at the same rate (or faster) than Steem, other wise there is no gain in rate of accumulation. SBD is currently falling at the same rate as STEEM, actually a little faster. For anyone trying to earn a wage here - this decline is horrible. My income is down 96% from the Christmas peak :|

My numbers are:

  • 25.4 SP
  • 77 days

I'm excited about this experiment! :)

I'm excited too @chinitacharmer... I think you will see your rate of growth get much faster now that steem has gone down... we will see, I'm excited too :D

Let's hope for the best sir @davemccoy! 😃

indeed @chinitacharmer! I have a hunch we're going to be happy!

I will be more than happy to be your Sugar red fish hahaha char!! Miss you!

Hahaha! I gladly accept the offer sir @maverickinvictus! 😂 Miss you more! 😁

Hey Dave, this might be interesting. I have a feature on @dorabot that keeps track of your earnings. Currently, the graph is not 100% accurate as the price of SBD is deviating so much from its peg. I will try to update that shortly. So the green line below, the "Total STEEM" earnings are off.

that is very cool... it pictures exactly what I am hoping to show over the next 30 days. With the price of steem down that line should continue to grow at an ever increasing rate! Awesome that you can do this! Lets figure out how to make this usable to everyone! Especially right now while people are feeling a bit down!

It is available to everyone in Minnowsupport’s discord server, PALnet.
Run the command ?rew or ?rewhist and @dorabot will guide you. 😉
When I fixed the conversion issue I will advertise it. I was also thinking to have Dora listen to the command via a comment, in the same way as for the ?winner command.
Wish I had more time... 😜

The winner is: danielsaori!!!

I looked at all the comments and it’s super cool what you are doing Dave. I will try to prioritize this fix and have it ready asap.

And that @danielsaori guy wanted you to have this newbie nickel too ;)

Awesome 😎, both of you!

Can I ask you to find our numbers for us @davemccoy? Pretty please? You know I hate to do any kind of work.

haha... sure... here it is @beeyou (305 SP and 74 days)

beeyou makes me look like a slacker hahha

Look at your numbers! How is that being a slacker. I want to put my hands over my eyes when I see that VP. I can't get past the 40-50% line.

@beeyou I think it’s time to stop voting for a while. Get that percentage up. Instead of vote, leave your charming comments.
Your vote will have a lot more value if you can stop clicking that upvote arrow for a day or two. Plus you’ll earn more curating. I know it is hard. I’ve been there. But most of ‘our’ people appreciate a comment way more than only an
Upvote. If you want to upvote, summon someone else to upvote it for you, so you can get that number up... ;0)

I know, but it's soooo hard. I was able to get it back up to 80% when I went MIA for a day and half, then shot it back down to 40% again within hours. Only way to stop upvoting is to stay away and I know everyone would miss me. ;)

I can take a couple of votes, although I’m still recovering from handing out Newbie Nickles. And believe me, a comment or a resteem is just as valuable to many people. You would help people more with VP of 80-100 than you do with a VP of 50.

That's completely true. Of course, I can only speak for myself but I do appreciate a genuine comment much more than an upvote. Both are great or course.
It is a 2 side cutting knife. If they only would get comments, they will feel appreciated but they could stop posting content because it does not pay off. But if they only would get upvotes, they will really believe that this is a quick rich scheme.
That's why the introduceyourself post can be a poisoned gift. If they do it correctly they will have a first post, which delivers them some money. They really get motivated, but their next posts will have probably a pay-out close to 0, which crushes their motivation.

True. I see introduceme posts that make $10 or even more... That creates high hopes.. but most of the time nothing will follow.
I’ve been here for 6 months and I got 1 post that got higher than that with only organic votes - lol

There was a time that I didn't get any upvotes nor comments and it was demotivating.

Now sometimes I get some votes and no comments and it kinda feels bad especially when you worked on it

I agree with this totally! I think it is a poisened gift sometimes too.. Well stated @fullcoverbetting!

I understand... and good job on the newbie nickels... I think I covered you but if I'm missing something, jlmk.. Until then here's your own newbie nickel.. This one courtesy of @danielsaori! I like to mix it up :D

That's exactly what @davemccoy said to me @simplymike. It really is great advice!! We all go on about the importance of commenting then worry way too much when we can't upvote. It's less important for sure. It's a tough lesson I'm still learning by the way :)

You are the queen of comments, @lynncoyle - for now ;0P
I can’t imagine you bringing more value with your upvotes than you do with your comments - even if you would have 50k SP

Will try to be a comment master for the next couple days and let my VP build up again. :)

Do you know about @gentlebot and @things-2? They are comment bots that will pop around and upvote your comment If you have yet to upvote it and the algorithm thinks it is worth an upvote. They have stopped by my comments 3 times with nice upvotes!

Can’t be that hard, since your a master commenter already... ;0)

@simplymike is right -- Take a two day break and only comment! It's a fun change (though not easy!) Then use busy.org you can use a slidey bar there! Which means more votes! Wish i would have gotten into using that UI sooner!

Hi @beeyou! Lol, it's such a fun (and challenging) challenge to just comment and not upvote! I say to yourself -- i am enough! My comment is enough. But, using busy.org ...... really helps to have the slidy bar!! Good Luck 💜💙💛💚

Hi @yogajill. I was told by another friend to go to the batcave, and I so tried, but it had internet there! The temptation was too much, and I shelled out several small upvotes. But no more! Not for a couple days. Let's see how that goes. ;)

You can do it I can upvote in your place and you leave a wonderful comment instead!

Aww, thanks @maverickinvictus. I will take a break. You enjoy your upvoting and engagement time with others. It's always fun when I run into you outside our group here.

Mav that is an awesome idea and very cool thing to say! :)

Just call my name or actually Ginabot will call and I'll drop the upVote! And leave a comment too!

Great idea!! Summon me I will be a sugar red fish haha

I agree I keep my VP at least 75% each day to give it more value

lol, sugar red fish! Beware, all the little fishes might start coming around to the sugar red one.

I would be more than happy to be a Sugar Red Fish to someone haha

Hehe sweet Mave. I should put that as your role when I get around to writing the weekly buzz for our initiative.

A sugar red fish... lol

lol... funny Mav

I would be more than happy to be a Sugar Red Fish to someone haha

you are so so right @simplymike! I am glad you are spreading this message its something I want to tell everyone too! We need to be smart and help each other so we all grow faster together!

I just got a few lucky delegation here and there :) But I want to get stronger as well so I keep stackin Steem from time to time.

Curation rewards as well. Not good enough to get me at the curation league of excellence but good enough for the engagement excellence round :)

I was and often am in the same VP mess @beeyou, but I took Dave's advice and stopped upvoting for two days and it was back. I went a little crazy yesterday so I'm down to 62 right now, but before that I managed to keep it hovering around 80 for days.

I feel your pain...it's just so hard not to click that little upvote button!!

I'm at 60% now @lynncoyle1. That's from being away for the most part of the day. Will try my best to get it up. Key word, try. Stop going a little crazy! I know, I do too. click, click, click...it keeps on going and going....

daammn @beeyou is really making me look like a slacker too! I'm so old my Age is measure in Moons hahaha 16 Moons 271 SP - In my defense I barely used this site for the first 6-8 months LOL still not an excuse though

Hahahha moons but we know you'll grow so fast now.

Slacker?!!! Have you seen all the incredible posts you write daily/weekly? I can't do that. I'm the one that is slacking here. Truly. You are amazing @amariespeaks. I mean it with the sincerest compliment.

@beeyou thank you my dear <3 <3

@beeyou did you buy any or all made off the platform?

I invested in the bulk of my SP @royaleagle. Some when I started the acct and recently with the dip. No way could I have earned it with the way I’m upvoting. Most votes go to comments or newbie posts. Not the best way of earning curation rewards.

You can get good curation on comments if there are large upvotes behind you in line :)

I thought maybe you had a Steem success secret to achieve high SP earnings.

The secret is to upvote on individuals submitting for utopian and sndbox support. Those get hit with the big upvotes later. My focus isn’t there though so I don’t look but that’s how people make it to top ranks in Asher’s league for maximizing rewards. Both Dave and I have the league links on blog. Go check it out. Secret lies there. Or look at the queue for bid bots. Plenty of ways to maximize curation imo.

hahaha it's a good thing you're cute @beeyou!!

Works every time 😉

Resteemed !!.png

gentlebot likes you :)

ohh wow yeah it does! I just saw that ;-) yay!

that is very cool! I don't know who @gentlebot is but if he/she like's your resteem banner, then I think they can't bee too bad ;) .. Thanks for liking @amariespeaks gentlebot! :D

LOL I don't know either but I will take the love @gentlebot <3 thanks

wow, you are the old lady of my circle of friends... hahaha ... you look good for your age!!! :P

I saw your reply to @beeyou about your late start... I think you will find that you will have just started to hit your stride! I see big things ahead for you ;)

giphy.gif

hahaha... you looked much young in your video before.. must've been good makeup! lol and @danielsaori is responsible for this one! ;)

Congratulations, this newbie nickel is sponsored by #steemitcommentchallenge this week!

so 16 moons hahaha hilarious!! but no one is going to stop you now!

@maverickinvictus I love the wit of whoever wrote that code LOL I wonder if there are any more funky names to measure time as you get "older" on here ;-D

I know give that person a raise ot at least more SP!!

251 SP in 96 days. Excited to see what happens after 30 days :)

Love this experiment. It's a cool way to track our own growth. Although I hope we don't compare our stats to others..but maybe unavoidable... if some people would, I hope doesn't make them feel any less or better. ;)

No its not about comparing our stats to each other @wanderlass... Its about showing everyone how our rate of change will be going up! The lower steem prices are going to be fantastic... You will see ;)

ps.. good job on your numbers... I told you that you were a star!!! ;)

You are awesome at 251 SP in 96 days!! That growth is fast!

OMG 6000 in 94 days!!! I am 500 less than yours at double the amount of time I have been here. About 330 SP and I am interested to see how I will grow in 30 days.

You are out there engaging yourself! Nice stats Mave.

Doing what I can to help spread some love

Mav you are doing good... Plus you just needed 1) Asher's league and 2) @lynncoyle1 to push you and I'm sure that SP will be hitting 10k ;)

I'd be happy even if I hit 5k SP so I can be a sugar dolphin!!

haha... I can see all the cute minnow lining up now

Send me all the pretty ones haha!

I think they are already lining up Mav! ;)

Oh sugar red fish, I think you are doing awesome ;)

haha, you caught the sugar red fish comment Lynn? ;)

We need more sugar red fish and sugarwhales! Pick one @davemccoy.

I'm like the sweet and sour patch kids fish .. and if they made one with wasabi I would be that too :D

Spicy!! Some folks will be into that!

yes, hopefully! hahaha

hahaha I did catch it!!

I actually have a friend who met a guy on...get ready...sugardaddy.com lol The funny thing is, they fell madly in love and have two kids now, very happy family. Still so funny to me!!

sugardaddy.com! lol, why is there not a @sugarwhale? I'm sure there would be plenty of solicitation for support.

You and I have just come up with a little business to run here I think hahahah

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

We should snatch that username before someone else does. Be the sugarwhale to everyone!

One day baby... ;)

I just want to spread the love and encouragement as the Sugar Red Fish haha. When I reach 500 I will be a Sugar Minnow and off to being a Sugar Dolphin!

I think becoming a Sugar Whale is a stretch unless I sell everything includeing my body! haha I don't think I will have takers for that though.

hahaha you never know unless you try @maverickinvictus!!! Right @beeyou? Back me up here...I know that Mav started it, but you certainly helped get this ball rolling ;)

Lol. Positive thinking @maverickinvictus. That’s the way you need to look at it. Climb one little notch at a time and if you catch the attention of a mamawhale one day, you will be sugarwhale status in no time! @lynncoyle1, Mave is too sweet for us to tease, not like cool beanz @davemccoy. 😎

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

@davemccoy you're making me sad :( 15sp and 97days .

Personally I want prices to drop more so I can actually invest a little bit.

haha... don't be sad... just think of how much you will go from here.. Its just a learning curve and you made it over the hump because you are still here! You are right about the prices dropping... I am definitely in agreement with you on that happening... cheap steem is the plan! ;)

I am doing better than I thought I would. As long as I stay dedicated, which I plan on it. Plus with the group support there the only thing that can stop me is me.

I agree... It is good to be consistent and enjoy it and then you can stay dedicated! And you are doing good @tryskele! :)

Thanks @davemccoy :) I needed the little vote of confidence.

Any time! I'm always willing to help you @tryskele! :D

Good idea Dave; I trust that you are right, as usual when it comes to this kind of thing, but here are mine anyway: 97 and 95
(We did join at nearly the exact time!!)

Really @lynncoyle1? You and Dave joined around the same time? Have you two known each since the beginning? Did you know I first met Dave on my personal account back in Dec? He was just the sweetest with answering all the newbies' questions. Of course, my avatar there is a rock, so he had no clue how I was. It was only after coming on this account and my commenting on one of his quick tips post that we started chatting. Now...why wasn't he so chatful with the rock? ;)

hahaha I guess Dave doesn't like rocks much ;)

I don't even remember how or where @davemccoy and I first met? Maybe he will, but I doubt it haha I just know that we did, and soon the newbie idea came up and the rest is history as they say!

I'm so glad I did though...and that extends to you as well ;)

I know my Steemit experience would definitely be different if I hadn’t found you guys. I may even have given up. Who knows, but I found our wonderful bunch and happy I did.

I actually told Dave that I didn’t know if I could help when he approached me (not the rock). The rules were too confined. We tweaked it though and made it more like ‘no rules’ here. That worked out great.

hahaha (not the rock)...good one! Yep, I hear you about the rules. If something is a little too rigid here, I run screaming. No need for it, in what is supposed to be our fun time here ;)

my number is 38 sp and 98 days lol😅

Sweetcha, are you still having babdwidth trouble?

not yet @simplymike like I told to @davemccoy I call 911 lol...

I didn't use steemit like I use before maybe that is why it didn't show up anymore.

I’m bust trying to figure out which people experience the bandwidth trouble, to define the minimum SP to get rid of it...

oh I see, good luck then my dear...😊

Depends on block-chain usage.

Hey @simplymike. I know @pretty.dorky and @smylie2005 experienced bandwidth issues at one point. Maybe take a look there. I had bandwidth issues when I started out too. My SP was at 30 in the beginning, but still couldn't get on in the mornings. It was only after @davemccoy delegated 50 SP to be as part of his #newbiestewards that I stopped having bandwidth issues.

we need to let our people know about #newbiestewards... I think we have a few delegators now that can use that tag ;)

Spread the words Dave. You are better at it than I am.

ok what is that all about?? #newbiestewards?? Why don't I know about this Dave? ;)

It is for when any of our #newbieresteemday people delegate to someone.. That donee becomes a #newbiesteward... I gave @beeyou and @bashadow one... But @simplymike and @doomsdaychassis have also become donors to #newbiestewards... We probably have many more, I just haven't had the time to track them down.

Yeah, @davemccoy, why don’t we know about that? ;0)

I guess my mouth isn't as big as people told me it was.. I will have to practice and get my voice even louder :P

hahaha you tell him @simplymike!!! ;)

Thanks @beeyou
Messaged both girls to ask about it

People need at least 50 SP to be able to continuously be able to comment. the number of people on at particular period is also a factor as bandwidth is given out to everyone in proportion of their SP

I know that the whole idea of newbieresteemday is about resteeming and helping people get noticed but ersteeming uses a lot of bandwidth as well.

Very good sweetcha... Lets see if that rate improves over the next 30 days ;)

My SP is 15 and I'm at 113 days - - - Can someone point me at a "how to" invest in steem link? Seems like a good time to!

Basic economics. I love this shit. Buy low sell high. DO NOT SELL FOR A LOSS. Jump on coinbase and buy a coin, any coin. people say don't buy bitcoin but in reality almost all the coins follow big boy bitcoins path so it doesn't matter much. bitcoin fees are just a little more. My last transfer of a 1/4 of a bit coin was just a couple bucks. I sat down and ran the numbers and if i were to have bought the small coin (lite coin) instead as the market moved with the amount i put in i would have come out 30 some dollars less if i would have went small rather than buying the bitcoin. Glad I did. It does not allways work that way. The trick is to buy the coins low, sell high and dump the money in your account till steem drops. then you have made free money and you trade it through blocktrades to pick up steem power at a discount. Work smart, not hard. It is very possible to throw in $200 fiat and by the time you twist it , wash it and sweet talk it it will actually be $300 worth of steem power. I also use faucets over at coinpot for a tiny bit of free crypto everyday. By tiny I mean small- almost nothing, but if you stay on it for a year then cash it out and sudenly it is something. I also enter contests on here. I build race cars that win car shows and track championships20180316_200356.jpg
20180222_185446.jpg

and timcliff hooked me up with 40 steem for third place in his shilling competition and it is now my job to make people aware of what this place is, and i pimp the hell out of this place. I am a hustling mother F'er. Always power up. the more steem power you have the more you get paid out on everything. I have not looked at your wallet but if you are converting SBD to steem using block trades instead using of the internal market you are loosing about 1% of every transaction. I made a blog post about that . Click me and I will take you to a magic place that saves you money . Hope this helps.

You first need to purchase litecoin or Ethereum. (Dogecoin or Dash will do too)
I’m not sure where you’re at, but I’ve alays used Coinbase to do so. But you need to first register for that, which may take a while. And then you got to send fiat to the wallet, which takes a while too.

But there are places you can buy these coins directly with fiat. Here in Belgium we have a site like litebit.eu.
Maybe @mudcat36 knows?

Whatever you do, don’t buy Bitcoin first. Transaction fees are too high.

Once you get ethereum or Litecoin you can use Blocktrades.us to exchange it for Steem.

Sorry @beeyou - I couldn’t really give more info than you already did

Hi, as you are in Europe as well you might want to check out Kraken.com. Swapped to them due to Coinbase’s high fees. For our US friends, I’m afraid Kraken is not an option, at least not officially... 😉

I’ll check it out. I think I created an account there once, but abandonned it because the verification process took so much time... I need to check on that again...

Yes, the process can be a bit tedious.
At the moment Kraken is my main way to go fiat <-> crypto. Bank transfers in euro within Europe and rates are good.

Having trouble getting registered at Kraken... my account has been under review for weeks now :0(

Do they specify normal handling times? It was a number of months since I signed up and it took a few days.
Make sure you have submitted everything 100% accurately. If they have to get back to you for clarification it will definitely delay.

I'll need to check on my account. Will be first thing on the list when I can get to my laptop tomorrow morning...

That's perfect @simplymike. I do the same with coinbase. Fumbled my way into cryptocurrency, but hey, have to start somewhere. I'm not a finance person so I hate it. But also hate being in the dark about this new crytocurrency world too.

Appreciate you helping with this!

The thing with Coinbase is that it takes so long... if there is a sudden dip, you admoney from your bank account, and then
It takes three days for it to arrive there. The dip might be over then - lol
That’s why I like services like litebit.eu, it goes a lot faster.
I don’t know why I decided to use Coinbase again this time...

Oh yes, I know all the horrors with coinbase, Many of times I wanted to trade but the account was still pending waiting for that 3 day bank transfer. I have never tried litebit.eu...but I think my crypto trading period is on hold for the moment. Better to just HODL during these dark times.

i didn’t put in any fiat for months. Just exchanged my profits to buy other coins. But now the market is down, I would be losing money if I exchanged them (And I’d like to keep the BTC, ETH and DASH, which are still very profitable because I got in just before the prices started to go up)
But, I still wanted to get myself some more Steem, so now I’m waiting for the money to arrive in my Coinbase account. It is taking soooo long...

Oh lucky you! I didn’t learn about the crypto world until everything was at its peak. Late to the game. Told myself I wouldn’t be that way on Steemit and it was worth a try to learn my way around here. I’m not a fan of social media sites but glad I didn’t stick my head in the sand like I normally do with all this crypto stuff. Or else I would never have met you guys and everyone here is what drives my Steemit experience to be a wonderful one.

Coinbase is sloowww. I used credit card initially and paid the extra fee for immediate access then they wanted all this verification crap. So did bank route too but seriously, why does it take days to transfer funds? Age of instant access here people, don’t they know?!

Funny thing is... coinbase is based in SF, California but my credit card says it’s an international charge. Hmm...but I haven’t had problems with them yet aside from slowness.

me neither. But the fact that it is so slow is really annoying.
Guess it's my own fault. Should have thought it through before I did it.
I hope I remember next time :0)

Hahahaha, I just found out...
I’ve been impatiently waiting for my money to arrive in my Coinbase account. It still wasn’t there when I just checked, so I decided to check my bank account. Apparently I simply forgot to send the money to Coinbase - lmao
If I hadn’t checked, I would still be waiting for days...
sometimes, I can be so stupid ...

54071673-ED17-41F7-82FE-EA679CE253EB.gif

Yes we will find you someone to do that @visualcontent... I have never purchased yet as I was also waiting for it to drop... But I do know several that have done it and they can walk you through it! @beeyou @simplymike @mudcat36 are you available to show how its done?

ps.. if they aren't available, we will still get you hooked up!

I really am the worst person to help on this topic, and you know it Dave. I just buy and don't pay much attention to the exchange or transaction rate. Should have more experienced members like @simplymike and @mudcat36 chime in on this one. I hate to advise financial matters, especially when I'm too lazy to pull up my own stats!

@visualcontent, I trade another cryptocurrency for steem. I use ethereum or litecoin. I don't know how else to do it. Bitcoin charges more on transaction fees, so I wouldn't exchange with that one.

@davemccoy
‘The drop’... ‘buy on the dip’, they say. But how does one know the dip is the dip? You can never know how low a coin goes. Keep a good eye on the charts, and buy as soon as it starts going up again...

@davemccoy is waiting for the big big drop! Whatever that means @simplymike. Thanks for stopping by and helping us challenged traders. You are the best!

Some say Steem will go as low as 75 cents again. I’m not sure if it will. I hope so. I need to check tomorrow what the trend line says. First sleep some more. It’s 5 in the morning here. Woke up because you summond me.
Naah, that’s not true. Just having a bad night because if kitty- trouble :0(

Thank you all! I thought i had read there is a service now where you can just buy steem instead of going through the buy this, then sell it and get that MOO. I guess i will go get in the que at Coinbase. Really appreciate everybody's comments. Every little nugget of knowledge helps on this journey! Ciao!

I'm rooting for $0.50 myself.. but you are right, the lower the better... The idea is that we can fade in too.. .obviously if this is the low then the people who bought "the dip" will be much happier than me. As far as telling where it will go, I agree with you that nobody knows.

My only yardstick is thinking we get down to the point where we truly shake our some of the disengaged whales and orcas and the people like us snap it up cheap!

That's what I'm hoping for at least ;)

I hope you turn gina off when you go to bed! I go in shut down mode at night. No one disturbs my beauty sleep!

What is going on with your kitty?

Fortunately, it is just a blatter infection.
But now I discovered a tumor on the oldest one’s leg... pffft ☹️
Don’t know if it is a good one or a bad one, but either way he’s too old to put him under to take it away. (He’s turning 21 in July) I guess it is the beginning of the end 😭

Anyway, Gina doesn’t make any noise on my phone - if she would, I’d probably go crazy pretty fast. And I always have the volume down on my PC or table, ‘cos the Discord bleep is one of the most annoying sounds in the world ;0s

Oh I am so sorry to hear @simplymike. Bladder infection can be treated but the tumor ☹️. He is up there in years for sure at 21. Wow. My eldest cat is 16 yrs. They become a grump as they get older too but we love them dearly because they will always be our little babies. I lost my favorite little tortie in a tragic accident so I know how painful it is to even think of your guy going down that path. Sending love your way, to both of you. ❤️

I never have my volume on for Discord. Some rooms are muted and I have it alert me for mentions only. Shhh.

@beeyou I'm killing myself reading this thread, watching you pass this off like a hot potato. "No please don't ask me to help with any numbery-crypto-drop-drip-droop* stuff!!! hahaha @davemccoy and @simplymike, don't ask @beeyou to help with this...it's a lot like asking me haha

Hot potato 🥔! Hah, there is an emoji of it on my phone. Right, what was @davemccoy thinking pulling me into money matters?! I’m just a cute face on here, definitely no substance 😉.

hahaha ok now you're selling yourself short!! But the numbers part, I totally agree (because it takes one to know one ;) haha

you've purchased more crypto than me, so you get a little credit! ;)

you were next @lynncoyle1 ... If @beeyou couldn't answer, I am coming to you next ;)

Well we both know how that will end up :)

Well, I didn't copy like everyone els but this is the data. Is this good or am I doing something wrong?

you did it perfectly :) .. and I would rather see you do it this way so that you understand it! Good job!

I had a question on the voting power. I have 95.33%. I don't understand that. Is that a good thing or should I be voting more or what? I do appreciate your time and help and hope to return the favor one day.

95.33% is good... the closer to 100% is the best.. but you also don't want to let it get to 100% because then you will be wasting your vote.. so the goal is to make sure that you vote enough to keep it between 80% and 90%... If you are going to be around a lot, then you can keep it in the 90% and just keep an eye on it.. using http://steemworld.org/@mistermercury is the best tool as it tells you when you will get to 100% (in this case a little over 6 hrs)

Tell me your thoughts......

Pretty impressive. Did you buy Steem or it is an organic growth?

Both but most of it is earned by blogging I have been doing that for Almost 11 weeks now daily 2 blogs or more

That is very very good.. You have far more SP than me in about 15 less days... That tells me you do a great job on your blogs! Keep it up and we'll check back in 30 days and I think you will be happy with what you see! :)

We Will do dave , have a Nice weekend

Ok. My current stats are:

  • 18.6 SP
  • 73 days

Kindda excited for this experiment. "Rate of accumulation" is a new term for me. :)

haha.. glad you like it and have a new term! Its an important term btw that will motivate you very much as you see the price of steem drop. I've been waiting patiently for this to happen. Now people will see what I have been talking about. Thanks for joining in the experiment!

lol, this is another cool idea.

Here goes my details. More than the SP, it's my friends count which gives me more joy. I have close to 1900 followers in these 178 days of my journey on Steemit. On an average 10+ followers a day.

I agree 100%.. The friends are the glue that keeps me here! Very impressive numbers @coolguy123 and I think you are going to be happy with the next 30 days! ;)

I think you are going to be happy with the next 30 days! ;)

I hope so, hopefully I will concentrate more on more commenting.

Any specific reason to check for a month period? Just a query.

with the price of steem dropping the rewards in sp will be going up... so while people feel dissappointed, I have a hunch the rate of growth will be better than they realize

I think 30 days just to have a large enough sample of time so that it can me a meaningful measurement.

with the price of steem dropping the rewards in sp will be going up

Right, but Steem still hovering around since almost 2-3 weeks guess.

Let's see how we fare in these 30 days and hopefully the Steem price will still be dropped for better rewards and better options for Steem buyers too.

exactly... I know of a few that are taking advantage already. I myself hope it goes even lower... that will mean we all grow faster together!

Yeah, it's already down to 1.82 and still going down. Yeah, good days ahead for steem buyers.

exactly! Already getting more than 50% of SP compared with sbd... that is up almost 10x from where it was a few months ago.

Here is mine. I have 75 SP and joined 62 days ago.

Very good.. that is excellent.. I'm paricularly impressed with your reputation so fast! Great job and check back in 30 days! ;)

ps I will remind you!

I found out a few whale vote make it easier to increase reputation.

it sure does! Wow, that's impressive!

that is good... thanks for participating and we will see in 30 days if that rate increases! ;)

Awesome experiment please....
@davemccoy you always bring fun to steemit... That's why I love checking your blogs for post.... Hope this experiment is going to end positively like you guess...
Here's mine :15SP and I am 44days old here

Thank you very much for that @jhaysnsonofbenz.. that is a very cool thing to say! I am excited to see where you are in 30 days! I think you will find it has picked up the pace! ;) Keep up having fun, that is what makes the world go round. ;)

Thank you sir

You're welcome!

Always in for an experiment. So here we go:
SP: 56 (purchased 21 steem 1 week ago)
Age: 92 days.

nice... that is a perfect spot to see how much the drop in steem will help you. Check back in 30 days ;)

Heres mine @davemccoy 😊
Wishing you a great day mate

Very good @happysmileyman! I'm glad to see you join the experiment and looking forward to the results! Good numbers for 45 days btw.. Impressive!

This is encouraging news my friend, I literally just reinvested all the earnings I made over the past month or so. I just about managed to buy 24 steem 😊

very good! I am excited to see what happens in the next 30 days!

Likewise bro 😊
Have an amazing weekend, will be interesting to see the results too

Here's mine! Let's see what happens. I'll probably forget out this post in 3 minutes, so please remind me in 30 days. Ha ha

haha.. yes I understand... those are impressive number blondie! you're double the sp from me in 10 days less! Very good, very very good...

And don't worry I will remind you to check... I won't let you forget how fast this next 30 days will be!

It's been a lot of work. I could have made more money with a part-time job, but that's ok. I did it for the LOLz. Looking forward to seeing how I do. I have some Steem and SBD that I haven't powered up, so if I need an extra boost, I'll cash all of those in. ;)

haha... you always have things covered blondie! lol And yes... I figured out my wage rate here is definitely in the sub $0.10 an hr rate... I wonder what labor board i can complain to?

If you figure it out, please let me know. Although, all the people posting on facebook should probably get priority. They're doing all the work, but Mark is the one getting paid for it. ;)

very good point... I can't stand that guy either

I must say you guys have really impressive accounts. I have been here since September, and i only started getting good sp payouts. I still have just a little over 200. Is there some kinda rule i've overlooked?

haha.. I think everyone moves at different paces and has different strategies.. The purpose of this experiment is to show you how your rate of accumulation will grow as the price of steem comes down... So you will see that you get more now going forward! :)

Yeah. I would have preferred the prices to hit the roof a bit longer though. I have a project i needed money for and this just halved my potential funds. lol. An investors delight though. Buying the dip, yeah?

I understand on wanting it higher... If you are a seller, then of course... now though lower is better as we are essentially buyers every day ;)

I started with 0.5 SP in this account

73 SP at 79 days :)

I thought your reputation was 54 not 25...

haha.. funny @doomsdaychassis

I plan on being an earnings monster. Set goals high, Never yield, always advancing. i am also looking into joining @steembasicincome and possibly delegating to them also if they check out and if i do it right i can nominate a lot of the people that have helped me out so far to reward them. I like to take care of those that take care of me. I need to learn a lot still and to me knowledge is priceless.

I can see that by your attitude... I like how you think.. You aren't afraid to take a step forward, you understand what being "decent" means, and you seem persistent... Add that to a willingness to learn and I agree you will be an earnings monster on day! I'm happy to help you in any way I can!!!

Thank you. We often joke around out in the garage when we are working on the race cars that ..... sometimes you have to have 99 bad ideas before you get the winning idea. Hopefully i don't have to fall down 99 times on here. I am willing to if it = success. Now i just need to open up my brain and absorb everything i can. My father in law always tells me i look at stuff from a point of view way outside the box and that is what makes us successful in racing, I hope it translates well to here.

Have you had any dealings or heard anything about @steembasicincome ? I don't want to go invest in or delegate to something that has a bad reputation.

I agree with you philosophy and follow it myself... You can't succeed unless you try and I have found that I learn from everything good and bad! You will do great here... Keep learning and the switch will flip and then you can hit the gas pedal at the right time... I will help you see it ;)

I hear that it is liked but I know that the payout have gotten whacked as all bots have been smoked with this drop.. But to learn more about you should talk to @cryptkeeper17 and @themanwithnoname. both have a lot of experience and know how best to use them! Both are approachable, just tell them I sent you!

I like hitting the gas pedal :)

I have met @cryptkeeper17 and have talked to him a bit and he has helped me fumble through some stuff but i have not met the other guy yet. I am sure our paths will cross soon enough. I will see what his take is on steembasicincome as i like the idea of it but not sure it is legit. It's a new day so i am going to treat it as though

I figured you would! :) ... and yes it is good to get some opinions and you will run into @themanwithnoname soon enough... his friends call him "blondie"

My numbers are 3.4 and 149 days, I just started posting this week.

@techtrail
Do you still run into ‘bandwidth exceeded’ messages?

No is has been awhile since I received one of those.

Thanks. Trying to figure out what VP is necessary to get out of the ‘bandwidth exceeded’ zone

Hey :)

Sadly it's not that easy because it's shared globally and so dependant on how the busy network is. It's quieter than it was at Xmas so you can get away with owning less SP. I think! Need coffeee.... 😊

Maybe coffee is a good idea...
I never drink it, but I could use a little upper at the moment. Gonna make myseld some... 😁

Can’t play because I’m planning to power up again a couple of days. But it might be an idea to keep track of my stats like this afterwards

you have contributed enough on this post to get yourself the $0.03 upvote.. thanks for engaging :)

Mine doesn't have all those numbers. It just says 41 SP and 62 Days.

that's good... you got it right MM... The reason is you don't have any delegations yet (you will at some point) ;)

Oh ok, I wasnt sure what those other numbers meant. Glad I got it right! Steemd doesnt always work for me but lately it has been.
