Well, Steem isn't the only place people lose 6 figures in investments. Some of us only keep Steem at a miniscule percentage (like <2%) of our total portfolio. Then, you have people with millions of SP who dropped 90% of their net worth (so they claim) into this platform alone.

Yep, I never claimed to be a smart investor. It was stupid, but I was in love with the ideas behind Steemit and it is the only crypto I've ever used practically on a daily basis.

Some of our bigger flaggers with 6-digit SPs have lost quite a bit, but they are just chugging along, trying to be more involved and make things better.

Yeah, the bigger the whale, the greater the loss. The difference is, they usually still have the money to buy groceries.

If they would increase curation rewards while they are at it, I think there could be some things to it.

Why in God's Name have they still not increased curation rewards...
