I have received upvotes for the airhawk curation reward trail after making my research and saw that they encourage authors through curation when you stake thier token and as long as u meet the trenshhold you will get the upvote. I know what scared me back in the days was lack of reasonable upvote but I have now understood that one needs to actually network properly on the blockchain for the upvote to start rolling in.
Anyways will try my best to be original and authentic and also network with other authors! Also head about the awesome development on leofinance community as the price of leo and hive are now equal that's a big wow.
