There's no need to show off,

^today.

The art above is simple, intentionally. Nothing special. Probably the wrong color because majority of you are into crypto and hate seeing red.

That's all I need to say about the art.

Voting strategies. So many new tribes, so many new tokens. So much confusion.

I see many of you out there making alt accounts, delegating your stake to those accounts, splitting up your voting power. I'll be taking a different approach to all this. I'll just do, whatever.

If the post just so happens to have the Palnet tag, and the Steem Leo tag, then you'll be getting one vote from me that will reward you in PAL, LEO and STEEM. There's simply not enough time in the day for me to get around to every single tribe and maximize my curation rewards. I never gave a crap about maximizing curation rewards before, so there's no sense in trying now.

There will be so many tribes, so many tokens. I'll most likely have stake in the majority of groups I'm interested in, so whatever happens, happens. Every vote will give you something, and if the post falls into all the right categories at just the right time, that vote will be boosted up in value with everything else that's slowly filling up my Steem-Engine wallet.

I've never been a fan of micromanagement. Just going with the flow.

My STEEM vote value drops as the value of the token drops, but rises with each use of the proper tag. It's all good.

Some of you out there might not even realize I've been giving you things like the PAL token nearly every time you comment. If you haven't done so yet, it would probably be a good time to check your Steem-Engine wallets. Don't expect a windfall, but do expect a small bonus.

A Tiny Bonus

^{Some folks don't see the value in that.}

One of my earliest strategies when out marketing this blockchain to the common folk was always something like, "What if you earned a penny for every little comment you left on Facebook. You've been a member there for nearly a decade. It would add up."

That thought process is what made it so easy for me to accept 0.009 SP as a curation reward early on. To me, that was more than nothing. Now, because I allowed things to add up, I've earned over 1600 STEEM in curation rewards. Now I'll let these new tokens add up and be in the same boat, eventually. It's not uncommon for me to earn .5 STEEM each time I hit the vote button, and soon I'll be getting a raise. No complaints here.

Every single seed was planted; now the crop begins to grow.

With tribes like PAL offering 50% curation reward, things will add up a little faster. I think I can already earn about 0.5 PAL when I hit that vote button.

The more I earn, the more I can give. That's why I'm so confused when I see content producers out there calling this behavior selfish.

In many ways that proves to me the lack of understanding when it comes to this economy here. More people need to know the true greed is the one posting, demanding everyone else vote for their work, then cashing out on payday.

Anyone who follows me and pays attention to some of the advice I've passed out over the years now sees the benefits of allowing those accounts to grow over time. The more you earn, the more you'll earn. Simple stuff.

I'm Rambling

^{I don't feel like being a showman today.}

A lot of folks are down and out about the price. That happens every day, no matter what the value is.

People were disappointed when it was $6, because it was once worth more. I once sat here, doing this, for 6 cent STEEM.

People who weren't here, back in the day, will always say it was easier to earn here, back in the day.

Working for 6 cent STEEM. No way of knowing if the value will ever rise again. Those of you who weren't here but feel like you're experts on what it must have been like back then take note: Does this feel easy?

Now you know how hard it actually was.

It's a great time to post. Earn a buck, you're getting three STEEM, plus, sometimes, other tokens on top of that.

When you really look hard at the entire picture, this all might seem hard, but it's a lot easier to earn now than it was when you thought it was easy.

A great time to work, accumulate, hold. Then the next generation comes along, and you'll have more to offer, and you'll earn more, for offering.

I don't even know if that made sense but it sounded pretty damn cool in my head.

I think I'll just leave it at that.

Have a nice day.
