RE: Opinion Poll: What Will Happen To The Bots If Steem Drops Under $1?
i have no idea, i see my vote worth go down from close to 0.06 to nearly exactly 0.04 in somewhat over a week , i see the sbd payout looking very different from the 50/50 i'm used to and yes, the payouts are really starting to look like nothing's worth the effort unless you get 500+ votes per post
if i were paranoid i would think a few content nazis (as i call them) are actively trying to sabotage bot-voting (something that would affect about all of the lower plankton and minnows in a very bad way afaik) or otherwise some external whale is wrecking the price down to make way for "their own product"
whatever it is, there's not enough increase in accounts to justify the price drop over less than a month if this were only plankton selling off what they got right away, especially since the prices are so low at plankton level you wouldnt get anything lol
the more i look at it over a few weeks time the more it reeks of "internal regulation" ... like the governments always try ...
which always ends up ...
with a recovery period i guess
i hope ...
my vote dropped from 0.043 to 0.041 overnight again i just see, if it sinks further i can't even divide over two anymore
i find myself forced to spend more votes on me simply because they're too low, whatever it is
it's counterproductive :)
Hey @rudyardcatling, don't let this get you down... In reality the price of steem going down is the BEST thing that could happen to you and me.... Even though our votes are worth much less, we still receive votes from others... Those votes actually earn more SP than the votes that we got when steem was much higher. I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but its true. Right now is the time to be happy and actually to hope that steem drops by another 50%... That would really make us pick up worth relative to everyone else... Its like a reset basically. And it will be very helpful because your friends and followers will also pick up value along with you... Watch how much SP you pick up in the next month and you will see what I'm talking about!
If you even need me to explain this further, please let me know... I love to have people understand this concept because it is our chance to catch up!
hi @davemccoy ... im sorry im seriously behind on the replies :) ... im not much of a live chatter but i keep a discord channel for my vault alts @ubasti , @sakhmet and @maahes
at
https://discord.gg/TB4XDdU
i usually DO chek all comments on this one but ive been living afk for a few weeks lol , also some hypernervosity issues.
I always like to connec twith people who understand the mechanics behind it, ive been on steemit for months and i dont even have a roadmap really, let alone total insight in the system. If you're still reading this, i should catch up on the replies now, otherwise , feel free to lurk in discord and leave private messages. I try to check that once a day at least in case anyone has complaints or questions so private message there is like email ... i could even give email but im not really the best at daily mailings either :p thanks for the explanation, i have no doubt it will pick up again but i cant shake the feeling that whats goin on right now is artificial
@rudyardcatling ... fwiw, I'm behind myself! I'm glad to see you reached out and you can get me anytime on discord too... I'm at davemccoy#2479 and I definitely am more on top of that then here since the replies are so much faster! I will connect to you now though :)
i have sent a request ... might take half a day or a day before i reply sometimes though, i'm not "always on" lol
@rudyardcatling I got it! And no worries on the replies back. You have established the link so we are connected... So we are all good 😀
so we are, i guess the messaging will be better continued on discord then, thanks
@rudyardcatling I got that you signed up for byteballs... if you send me your receiving address I will send you the referral fee I got and add to your "free money" received :D 😀
heh, i was actually gonna contact you later on discord, i think i found an exchange that does it but the terminology is not clear , GBYTE ? is that one million ? im trying to exchange a small bit for LTC since it wont exchange for steem , double transaction fees duh
i think i'll keep 50.000 or something in case it hits off but i was gonna send you 10000 for the help and effort actually
if you msg me the address on discord, thats up to you
o
but theres 142000000 stuck in smart contract?
so i can spend it all and still have some in a year hmmmmmm
looks like a pretty slow network though and since it has tx-fees it will be hard to compete with the likes of steem
6:16 am again ... phew, an hour past bedtime
