Here are goes my little rant about the current and soon to be value of steem and of course SBD. Since I have joined SteemIt I have been paying attention to the rises and falls of this great currency we call steem. It is amazing the impact it has had on all of our lives. Think about the time we have put into our posts, comments, networking and just straight steeming. Have you invested that much into any other coin/currency? Okay maybe you have invested many years worth of hours into earning Fiat. But just think about the time and energy invested. So here goes why that makes steem so valuable.
But what is different about steem? Well I am glad I asked. It is valuable because of all the time and effort we have put into it and the platforms surrounding it. SteemIt for example. Would steem be the same without steemit? Well it probably wouldn't be around at all but just think of how valuable this social-media ish platform to us. Our money is not only growing by trading but also by investing our time, energy, knowledge as well as our own investments.
In works is the next Hardfork. This would be HF20 "Velocity." The main purpose of this seems to be a fix for the bottle-necking happening with account creation. Another topic that is starting to become important and may need to be addressed is the fact that the reward pool is draining and this is commonly believed to be happening because of the self-voting due to 4x voting power from HF19. In my opinion something does need to change in this matter. I was outspoken about this particular problem before HF19's release and actually as soon as it was proposed. At 40 votes a day people are unable to upvote only them selves unless they post 40 times a day and upvote all 40 on them selves. This includes posts and comments. Now with the changes you can vote with 4x more power 10 times a day. So now instead of a few of the 40 votes going to self votes now most of the 10 votes are self votes. Now keep in mind this isn't everyone or every whale in particular. But there are a few who are doing this. Posts following who is the worst culprits of this are starting to pop up often now.

I have a lot more to say but I think I bugged you guys enough for the day. Thank you for sticking around and reading my rant. Also thank you for supporting steemit and the minnows.
