Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I hope that you're all doing well and while we appear to be in a drawdown/consolidation phase in the market I'm going to go ahead and do a little experiment with the funds available to me. I'm gonna try to maximize how much I can increase the SP of the fund, so it's going to look pretty douchey in the meantime. For any big downvoters out there reading this, please understand that I will only add money to the system out of pocket or from the fund I've saved up and will never cash out on this account (or other accounts, including my meme one). I just want the voting size to be substantial as the inflation rate of the system slowly decreases over time and I figured it's best to get the ball rolling now while inflation is still a thing so that I can allocate more of the reward pool towards small users and charities in the future. Guess you'll just have to take me on my word for that.
Unless we get to another phase where there's a huge spike in SBD price I don't think I'm going to be selling anymore SBD (if there is, then I might possibly do so if it means a larger fund in the future, basic common sense), I'd rather keep things in the family so to speak and just use the marketplaces that are native to the platform. One thing I have to keep in mind is that every time I sell or buy anything through, say, blocktrades, that just adds to the centralization problem, I understand that they have to pay for server and employee costs but the fees are atrocious as they are and I don't want to contribute to the problem that steem suffers from most which is its imbalanced distribution in the hands of a few.
Here's to hoping that crypto gets even bigger in coming years!
