Why was Steem invented?

Your link worked perfectly. I didn't know you had a specific link in mind and were asking me how to grab it. I guess you found out how. I've never actually done that myself.

Seems I was lucky in my guess about why people choose certain names. His ideas of demonizing older Gods is slightly different than what I have in mind, but they are close.

I used your link to listen to the song, but also scrolled way up to read about his service. I'm thrilled to read that he does NOT use a bot and that his service is free. In his post he listed his SP and it is half of mine and I also have delegated SP of another 1,000 steem. It still gives me just 13 cents at best. It's a long road to becoming a Dolphin, never mind a Whale! I'm not even considered a minnow yet; I'm still just a Redfish. I actually prefer the term, Plankton; I think it more accurately reflects our relative size.

It seems Carl is quite the catch as far as a mentor goes. I agree whole-heartedly about the comment you made to him regarding the number of intelligent people found on this platform.

@happyme - No, I don't think Carl uses bots at all. He does everything himself or with the help of human assistants. He also has a family and has helped me just as you have. Where does he find the time?

I'll admit that I'm a very poor businesswoman. I launched a nonprofit which plunged beneath the ocean though my reputed "big heart" was certainly in the right place. But my thoughts about Matt and "The Mindshifters" probably had a particular imaginary objective in my head by which the group might conceivably need and purchase voting power on a critical issue. Such as what? I don't know. It was just a vague hypothesis. If an underrepresented minority IRL needs the voice of a trustworthy candidate to faithfully represent matters of concern, that minority group might pool its resources to ensure the election of its candidate. Likewise, if "The Mindshifters" as a group wish to elect a witness whose voice will be their voice, then "The Mindshifters" might consider a one-time lease agreement for the critical use of SP. But I don't have a specific idea in mind, only an embryonic thought. I certainly respect your decision to avoid that route. And I hope that I didn't misrepresent Matt. He thinks like a businessman with a conscientious heart and a sensitive soul. Any inadvertent distortion of that image is on me. My bad.

(Your chat room attempt to initiate a conversation was successful. I was notified when I woke up this morning. Much love, your friend The Plankton.)
