It's time to grow your garden. Start trying to delegate 20%-50% of your votes away from popular topics and authors. Start exploring your favorite niches. As for me, I'm always searching for great visuals, fiction, music, topics about sustainability, and anything to do with cyberpunk (not getting enough of that around here).
My first votes are currently going at the rate of 0.50 USD and that's pretty damn awesome! It's not much but it's still a cup of cheap coffee! It gets people going, and if persistence matters they'll get noticed by the bigger whales down the line. Vote, interact, and form cross-disciplinary collaborations.
With about 350 users currently with more than 10,000 Steem Power, a rough estimate of 20% active participation per day is equivalent to giving out 1400 cups of coffee per day. That's 500,000 cups of coffee per year and that's fantastic!
Start taking the time to tend to your own garden. Water it well, and let it thrive!
I think graduating the 'money mirage' is a learning curve for every new steemer.
I think the life of a steemer goes like this:
Over-hyped about the posibilities
Trying to get upvoted (for money)
The dissapointment of nobody voting
Rage-quitting
Reconsidering it
Learning your lesson
Start being an asset to this community
PS. I am following you :)

This is hilarious.
For me, I can't seem to get over how everything is monetized, it seems like a game yet it's supposed to be social. Our brains work on different systems if there is money involved, market norms vs. a social norm. The latter we act more altruistically and for the good of the group, the former instance we act more like selfish rational economic actors. (Dan Ariely gives the example of, after a Thanksgiving meal, you give your mother in law $300 for her service, it's a fair price, unexpected and nice, but it will be offensive and sour the whole day.)
Maybe as the system ages the mechanism itself will move to the background and we can act entirely socially and without awareness of the system. But right now the system itself and the game it's created carries the weight over socializing and being genuine.
This is crypto's first foray into social engineering, I'm glad I get to be part of the experiment!

I up you on 'This is crypto's first foray into social engineering'. It's a very new concept that will sink in with time and we'll move it to the background of our thoughts to focus on the Social Contribution aspect more.
Two other points:

Not necessarily true. Too many assumptions. If you don't know the future market cap you cannot say the rewards will be small. If you don't know what currency the receivers have in their home countries you again cannot say the rewards will be small.
The cost of living in Silicon Valley is just extremely high and most people assume small for themselves is small for the majority of the world. At the same time Facebook has a market cap of over 200 billion? If Steemit has a market cap of 50 billion and there are 5 million users then how much in payouts would there be per day?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I would say yes you are right but there are also some aspects that can't be denied.
As Steemit grows and is adopted more and more its market cap will also naturally grow and Steem will be more valuable hence the daily payouts will be higher. But realistically speaking we can't expect it to grow forever and will hit a cap. Once it hits that cap, with the natural expansion of the user base the rewards will inevitably lower.
Another point to be considered is the user base distribution. Yes there will be some to whom 1 SBD will have more buying power than to others but if you look at the current reality: current user distribution of platforms, population per country (considering the development of the country), internet connection availability, education, society influence etc. I believe the majority of users will not have a big advantage between the USD (which is the parity the SBD is keeping at) and the local currency. Yes, there will be a minority of users for which a post's reward is the equivalent of a month's salary but they will be a minority and it is because of the reasons I mentioned before: these type of users don't have access to all the things the others have so they will have less chances of benefiting from this high conversion rate to local currency.
I hope I'm not wrongfully understood. I strongly want everyone in the world to benefit from the Steemit ecosystem and Steem would end world hunger and other issues if possible. But we also need to be realistic and analyse the facts. The world is not going to change in one day.

I've kind of already started doing that. And I've also been trying to contribute to conversations. It goes a long way when you extend your human-ness to others here. You're not just replying with the generic stuff,
"Hey, great post! I totally agree with every word that you said which I shoulda said but I didn't say so I'm just saying I agree. I swear I'm not a bot, gimme a vote!"
I'm still ramping up and trying to get to where I can back off my voting a bit so that when I DO vote, it counts. This is what true curation is about, I think.
"Hey, that's a cool thing you said/posted/presented to the community. You deserve a little something for that, I feel."
I'd be ecstatic with being able to vote someone up by 50 cents. I know I get happy when I see someone's vote resulting in 15 cents at this point. Even that's not easy to get, in my experience thus far. And it's not even about the money, but the idea that someone who has that influence thought something of mine was worth voting on, knowing that's what they're giving me.
I can't wait to be able to do that.
Congrats to you on getting where you are. You've earned it. :)

The interest you must be getting on your SP must basically pay you to not bother posting and thinking about 'making money' and 'getting upvotes' doesn't it?
I was thinking about this earlier today, there must come a point where you are getting so much interest that you're better off applying yourself to the success of the platform - as you're suggesting - than worrying about continuing to build your own wealth. So I'm totally with you on this post, tending the garden time rather than keeping your head down and continuing to plant seeds :-)

Actually there isn't any interest in Steem Power. Sure it builds over time, but this is balanced out by the dilution of Steem as more and more Steem are coming into life everyday. But yeah, there's still room for the market cap to grow so I guess you can consider it an interest atm. I consider myself quite lucky for good upvotes.. so it's time to distribute it to newcomers. It'll take time.. heck Steemit's only a few weeks old ever since the public influx from 4th July.

OK, so are you saying that the SP grows but essentially the dollar value of it remains the same? I must say that I thought the 10% interest seemed too good to be true... but then this is Steemit - the whole thing's too good, yet true haha.

This is the 100% correct way to look at it. I don't think many people do it this way though. They just extrapolate today's USD/Steem price into the future. That rate MAY go up in the future, but it probably will not unless user growth is ripping higher and never stops.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I'm not entirely 100% sure about the economics, but as far as I can understand, that 10% interest is away of saying that the network will grow in value by 10% per year, which isn't too far-fetched for a platform with great network effects.

Also, it will help Steemit evolve further, as a lot of niches are still underdeveloped, and the true power of any social platform lies in several different, unique niches. It will help more people with knowledge in different fields, share that knowledge and in the process, help Steemit grow!

I would already be lucky if my vote had any effect at all. Now i add zero value if you only go by the numbers :D But i` m working on it, trying to engage in discussions and upvote stuff i like no matter if it` s already popular or not. Also i already directly powered up the steem i got for a honourable mention on the photochallenge.
It can be frustrating that you` re that dependent in the beginning that your posts are upvoted by a whale. Having 30 upvotes and lots of comments by people with not that much steem power on a single post doesn` t helps you much to build your own steem power. Sure it helps when you` re active and post stuff but in the end you still need some luck to be found by a whale. So i can only second your post, it would help everyone and make the community as a whole more interesting when people who already have some effect also look for the not yet popular posts and authors. This also helps to bring up good new original content which else would perhaps go unnoticed. Thanks for this post.

You are spot on in what you say. By diversifying voting it will help the whole platform. Right now there seems to be a very narrow spectrum of content that gets upvoted.

People seem very picky who they give their votes too. I wonder how things will evolve in the near future..

Because it's advisable to give out only 20-40 votes per day to maximize the curation quality (and payout as well). There's something called voting power, you can checkitout at www.steemd.com/@madhatting :)
All the best!

I Agree with you, but I would say that all the votes should go for stuff we actually like and appreciate, not only a small percentage.

Great post! I totally agree. If more users get their content liked by the 'big' voters, it will encourage them to keep posting and tell all their friends.

i think the most important thing for everyone with more than 10,000 steem power is to keep a long-term perspective and understand that the 10,000 steem power is not worth anything unless you keep improving the value of the network

Just followed you. I agree with you. I am waiting to reach that level. I am not curating content as of now (low steem power). Also I find it is not easy to find good content. Good content is also subjective with interest being an important factor.
If you like, you may read a song created by me on steemit.https://steemit.com/steemit/@dev/just-steemit-just-steemit-probably-the-first-song-on-steemit
Thanks.

I think most people here are more than happy to share the love.... Everyone who puts in some amount of effort should get some of the bounteous reward. Greed at the expense of everyone else should not have a place in this communuty, there is a niche for each. Thanks for the post!

It seems to be the steem learning curve. At first, it's about the money (That is the lure that attracts new members). After a while, you are excited about an upvote simply because someone is appreciating the content of your post.

Try going around popular topics and give out proper, constructive comments.. that's actually one of the best ways at the moment. And you sorta establish reputation in that way too :)
