Here is something that I am not sure a lot of people realize:
When the price of LEO was $1.00, I had 100% of my voting power to use each day.
Now that the price is way down, guess how much of my voting power I have to use each day. If you said "100%", you would be correct.
Here is another fact that many people may not realize: accounts such as 
The reason I mention all this is because of the fact that it is evident that we have less activity from just a few weeks ago. The number of posts are down and the comments are way down. Even in the 
So where is everyone?
While we cannot answer where they are, we know where they are not: on here. This is something that we see each time things get a little "red" around the cryptomarkets. It was true for years on Hive and, now, is evidently the case with tribes.
Prices go down, people get less active.
However, there is still all that voting power that accounts have to use. Some of us do not walk away when things turn a bit red. We believe in the consistency of action, regardless of what the market is doing. When it is green, we post, comment, and upvote. If things turn red, we do the same thing.
Why do I bring all this up?
Because for some reason people have not learned the lesson of the past. If you are going to let off the throttle when it comes to your activity, do it when markets are up, not down. During the downturns, there is less competition.
Leofinance saw a massive run up in terms of the number of users and activity that is on here. For whatever reason, this is slowing. That means those who are posting content that is worthy will likely get more attention. It also means those simply trying to bilk the system for a few tokens will stand out. The spotlight is on.
That can be a good thing for those who are serious about what is taking place here and interested in "making a name for oneself". There are plenty of votes that are being handed out each day with a lot of Leo Power behind it. We are always welcoming of people who are committed to the growth of the platform. At times it is hard to find people when there is a lot of activity. Using the slower time can be a huge advantage.
Many often complain about how they do not get the attention of bigger accounts, hence their rewards are small. Over the last couple of months, I wrote a number of posts of how to get more eyes focused upon one's account. One of the best ways is to write appropriate comments on other people's articles.
Here is another one: post and comment when things are slow. When others get inactive, that is your sign to get busy. It will end up helping you in the long run.
I surmise this is true for most of the tribes and communities. It is an ideal time to move to the front of the line. Curation is something that continues regardless of market price. This is vital to understanding how to benefit on Hive long term.
The upvotes are going to many different accounts during this crypto downturn in the markets. Why shouldn't it go to you?
