"I Suck At Keeping My Voting Power..."
I joined In July 2016 and I have never been good at keeping my Voting Power. I love sharing and I love to spread the wealth, so even though my upvotes have been worth $0.01 I have never been able to stop voting on content. To vote for something and to be able to see it rise in value is some sort of a blessing and most people I talk to in real life can't grasp that reality no matter how much I try to educate them. Not because I am a bad tutor, but mainly due to their own mindset. Many of them are either "fiat-lovers" who haven't accepted that they're all just sock puppets handled by corrupt governments and others are just to ignorant because they have never seen anything besides facecrap and twatter.
We are all aware of the procedure on Steemit and while we have some people on Steemit who never upvote anyone besides themselves, my approach has always been different. I won't lie to you, I love to earn from my contributions and it helps me in several ways. Not only can I use my rewards to help me financially in real life, I am also able to grow my account and lately, I have also been able to delegate all my own Steem Power so others can grow in a faster pace.
The latter is only possible due to and his #StewardsOfGondor and in the screenshot above, you can see the people I delegate my Steem Power too.
is my newly launched project designed to help the newcomers on Steemit, much like other curation teams, but I truly believe that we are or at least will, provide something unique and things that never have been done on Steemit before. That is my gift to you. To Strive to improve the overall experience on Steemit and I honestly believe that this is the perfect way to empower us all in the long haul.
Red fish, Minnows, Dolphins and Whales will most likely always be just that... And my goal is not to grow a single user to become a whale. The goal and the intention of is to support the newcomers when they are starting to feel disappointed in the "system" because truth to be told, most newcomers will be upset, angry and sad sooner or later... And once that happen, many of them will quit because they feel overlooked and they will feel that it is impossible to have an impact on Steemit.
My goal is to give these people a sturdy foundation to rely on, a place they will feel safe and something they will get inspiration and encouragement from. By providing them that, I will also be able to reduce the amount of people who leaves Steemit in despair and I will grow our beloved community by making us stronger.
I don't have much, but I have decided to delegate everything I have. And what was a project where I would delegate 100 Steem Power to 6 other Steemians has already grown into something more than that. To the untrained eye and to the masses, project probably doesn't look like much at all... But let me tell you, it is something worth mention and it will be something to count on.
I recently decided to delegate an additional 100 Steem Power due to everything she has done for
so far. She's taken on the role of a leader and she leads by example. She does a load of work "behind the scenes" and while others might not realize that, it does not go unnoticed. That is why I believe she is worthy of more than others in
right now. However, we are still very new and many things have still not been set in stone, so it wouldn't be possible for everyone in the team to accomplish the same things as others in the group right now. But I believe in each member of the
and I wouldn't have handpicked them if I didn't see potential.
With time, I believe that our team will grow and meanwhile I appreciate all the people who've been asking to join, or how to help, we do not accept new members at this point. Once we have everything figured out, I believe that we will expand to reach an even wider audience and I appreciate all the support towards the project.
With that being said, if you want to support us there are things you can do. You can support the members individually by voting, resteems and comments but you can also follow the official account so you don't miss our curation posts and/or any future announcements.
"You Helped Me Believe in Steem Enough To Invest."
Due to 's investment in Steem Power, I have stopped to delegate him and I have been able to delegate more to the
account instead. He was very quick to invest in Steem Power and he told me this:
So within just a few weeks, he went from a tiny amount of Steem Power (with my delegation included) to more than 1000 Steem Power. So his account are worth more than my own now!
That's what I call amazing and I am both honored and glad for his investment and commitment. However, he has already done more than that.
With the mindset of a true , he immediately started to "pay it forward" by delegating 100 Steem Power to a fellow Steemian! And to tell you the truth, that I have been part of his decision, just based upon my own actions, my behaviour and my mindset is a fantastic feeling!
So thank you for everything you have done for me personally. Take a look at how you have changed our entire platform by your generous act. This would not have been possible without you and due to your delegation to me, I have already been able to not only launch my own project, I have also been able to spread your vision and got others to delegate too. And obviously, thank you
for being awesome!
"I'm Back At 100% Voting Power..."
This was not an easy task and I can totally understand if some of you have wondering why I haven't been upvoting any of your content these last ~30 hours or so. This was not because of you. It was all me. Once I reached more than 70% voting power I decided to go for it. I wanted to reach 100% again, and I made it! I am back at 100% and I've been sitting on 100% for several hours now... And now, I'll start to curate with the same goal as always. To be mentioned as a "Legend Upvoter" in 's weekly SOG report!
