With the implementation of Hard Fork 19 and increased voting power/value I would like to provide some very simple suggestions to my fellow steemians.
If you are liking the results of the hard fork and wonder and hope for it to be sustainable, I believe you can help the cause by doing the following:
- Do whatever you can to scratch up some extra money and buy yourself some Steem off the markets. If you don't know how, it is time to learn! There are plenty of resources out there! Then, once you have your Steem, send it to your Steemit wallet and Power Up! I know this is not possible for every Steemian but for many of us we can sacrifice a litttle here and there and come up with some extra cash.
- Be in this for the long haul. I would advise you to take any and all earnings and power them up. Then your votes will be worth even more and you will earn even more! And the cycle will hopefully continue exponentially from there.
I believe that these two simple actions will drive up the price/value of Steem and will make it very beneficial to all Steemians- including the whales, witnesses, etc., who may be (not sure on this) experiencing a decrease in their influence due to these changes. I think they are making a huge sacrifice for us little guys. Please correct me if I am wrong here.
All of that said, and regardless, I want to give a shout out and a big THANK YOU! to all the witnesses, 
This is not investment advice but my suggested strategy for the long term health of the Steemit ecosystem.
Here in a few minutes I will be purchasing more Steem from the markets and powering up myself!
Steem On!
