What a load of rubbish. You and your circle-jerking friends knew exactly what you were doing and now you are crying like a baby boy. You spammed with lazy, crap content and you self upvoted one-word comments.

No. You deliberately set out to cheat the system and got caught. Now grow up and move on.

As for the token values. The more tokens that are issued and in circulation, the less your upvote will be worth and the Steem value will fall. Simple :-)
