Its a beard that won't grace steem anymore! My car licence plate has an even longer powerdown period; and I'm stuck with that "steemit" plate for about another year (rip my poor past life choices)
Three more weeks and all my existing SP will be converted to DEC for splinterlands or into more HIVE.
Regarding dlsease, like many, it is a market where people (like myself) are likely to go for the biggest bang for their buck.
Im not a fan of platform politics, I'm here to create and share. I've dabbled in manual curation for months on end, before following curve, then seeing disappointment in my curation rewards.
Some short term delegations will allow we to strengthen my stake in the platform to return to my manual curation ways when my time permits.
Sadly, the pandemic has seen my day job's workload increase three to four fold, and rather than having my HP idle, dlease seemed like a good way to gain a higher return than following ancuration trail.
There's definitely an economics element there, like all markets!
Fair enough. Your day job is far more important than the silly games that go on here. We have to get our priorities right. I just keep an eye on things to see if we can build a better community with less negative people.
Stay well.
