Curation, the game changer! Want a higher steem price? Then do your part.

Unless you've been living under a rock or something, HF21 / 22 are long gone. And while most people were expecting a catastrophe (myself included) just to come out of the shadows and brag about the catastrophic results (myself excluded) that they already knew that will happen, hence target the witnesses, Steemit.Inc and God himself, it seems to me that they'll probably stay in the shadows for quite some time...

And that's because the way things play out right now, all those changes that were implemented at once, that I have to admit were radical, are nowhere near to a catastrophe. Quite the opposite I would say. It's crystal clear that Steem became much more attractive overnight. Literally overnight. We are not in "heaven mode" exactly but we are getting there...slowly and steadily.

And that's because those who like to rant and complain about everything that might not be working they way they like are not the only ones that are lurking in the shadows. There happen to be also some serious investors who have finally realized that by using their stake and upvote the content they enjoy most and vise versa it's a win - win - win for everyone.

For better distribution of steem tokens to those that produce something decent / valuable and in my opinion don't intend to power down their stake (that was a tip), for Steem itself, and because they finally can grow their accounts rapidly without the need of being involved into circle jerks of any kind. If that's not a 3x win then...

Get payed to be entertained

Do you remember those big votes that happened to land on your posts once every...actually never before? Well, you might wanna check again...because these gentlemen are back in the game. They are not many...at least those who are active...but still, they can make all the difference in the world especially for small accounts. Their vote might be the main factor between stop trying and push even harder to get better.

That was my experience too up until now. Those who have been interacting with me for the past 21 months certainly know that I am a Steem addict. I have skin in the game and I intend to add more. And for the past 21 months I am here...trying to improve myself, my writings...to tell you about all the things I've dreamt about and may be fulfilled having Steem as an "ally". I am not in a hurry...and neither should you.

As a matter of fact I like this struggle. Difficulties either forge you or break you. And I belong in that first group, trust me. I knew all along that it will be bumpy...and dark at times...yet I didn't care. I kept posting.

And lately, I feel the need to post even more often. Not because of increased rewards and such but because I really DO like the fact that we are on the next stage. I feel really inspired again.

For those of you who have some sort of obsession with the price of steem, here are some data that everyone can have access to it and can be found on Steemworld.org

Assuming that these numbers are accurate, it simply means that there are ~325 million Steem tokens in circulation right now. And if all the sbd's were converted in steem too that would be 360 million steem tokens at the moment of writing.

Out of these 360 million tokens (virtual supply) 200 million are vested.

That leaves us with 160 mill in "liquid form"

Add to the equation the fact that there are also...1.316.418 unique accounts.

And do the math...I rounded the numbers just to give this example.

160 mill / 1.316.418 = 121

If each one of this accounts could buy 121 steem tokens and vest them, aka spend something like ~20$ there wouldn't be any steem in liquid form. Of course not all those coins are in exchanges. Some are just sitting in our Steemit wallets...but you get the idea.

Demand? 20$ you said...? You tell me...

So you want a higher price? Then do your part...

Cheers.
