Self voting my once a day actifit post plus being in a circle with slowwalker gave me motivation to buy more steem.
Was hard to keep up on my end of the voting and being able to actually vote on stuff i liked at times, so had to keep buy more! lol.
Also thought i was using my Steem power to be benevolent at times - Figure now if i want to be giving, i shouldn't be trying to use community inflation but rather my own money - made from investments /other.
Not sure where all this goes. Still having fun though hanging around and playing splinterlands :)
