It has been a long ride with a lot of ups and downs trying to understand this platform for what it is. I started just to test it out and was quickly hooked by the idea that it could provide a somewhat stable source of income while helping me achieve some personal goals in the meantime (increase Betting Focus and my Health / Personal Life).
I do feel I'm spending way too much time on Steemit though, especially posting long daily posts that often take forever to make (like this one) while I could use that time way more efficient. The efforts I made to grow and improve the Betting community here on Steemit really did make something of a difference after a couple of us grouped up and creating the SBC (Steemit Betting Community). My hope is that it will continue to grow and eventually run on itself.
One of the strong beliefs I have about Steemit that keeps accounts motivated and going is that smaller consistent upvote support is far more effective compared to having to hope for the occasional Whale Upvote (which obviously is also always very much appreciated).

There are many upvote groups and projects that I appreciate (

I have always been a very conceptual thinker and I love to come up with ideas and theories. Since I highly value the "guaranteed daily upvotes" I get, I have been thinking about what a project could do to deliver this in the most efficient and fair way towards the entire Steem Ecosystem. I came up with a concept I really like and believe perfectly holds up numbers wise. I slowly took steps towards building it up and am now ready to slowly start rolling it out!
THE BASIC IDEA
The idea is basically a combination of
The intention for this project is to remain rather small scale as an experiment to see if the theory also works in practice. The 2 needed accounts have already been created and are giving out test upvotes.
| Account | Function |
|---|---|
 | The main account which I set up some days ago with some permanent and some test shares handed out to see if it all works properly while I monitor how the voting power gets drained. |
 | The account that will be used to sponsor minnows which is temporarly set up to upvote everyone who is entering the SBC League |
