RE: Let's talk about Steemfest Tickets

in #steemfest6 years ago

To be honest, with a real-life interaction, bigger spendings have substantially bigger impact and stake.

Assuming you want to pay in fiat, those numbers add up insanely heavily - from my current monthly salary for instance, as a whole, maybe I can buy the Minnow ticket, but even that's not sure, especially adding extra costs. (not planning to attend, just mentioning for scale)

I can agree in that being a whale/orca likely correlates with bigger income but still, the ways people try saving might be different, with different priorities.

I agree about ethics, too, but in the pyramid of needs, such high-level ideas are not as prioritized as a stable and secure living.

All I want to say is that maybe someone's perspective who is, or used to be poor, can be wildly different.

If one can afford a ticket/travel with your steem power without using one's fiat salary/savings . There is no reason to cheap out. it's douchy to not want to spend one's steem for ticket when getting that steem literally costs nothing in fiat.
