Heheh yeah. It helps if you have more money, like I do. When you keep spending it, you have less to reward others with. I've never spent a cent of mine, so I'm rewarding you and my other friends at max value... which ups your income, allowing you to either spend more, or save more. The more of us with money, the more of us that will MAKE money. But I think most people spend theirs, and have little to reward others with, and the cycle goes on. Just my current thinking.
EDIT: As you know, I'm about to spend 1000 of mine, so soon I won't be able to say I've never spent any. But I'll still have like 17k, all of it earned through content creation.

Yep, took out 400 Hive recently so that I wouldn't starve. Worked my ass off for it too. Hard times we're living in.
I understand the perspective with saving and spending as little as possible. Sometimes I see it as the right move. I probably will not continue giving out as much in tips as I have been lately, but making new connections is also important, and tips are a nice show of character in my opinion. It's either that or only vote my friends that I know 100% all the time and then their perspective might become "he's a circle jerking asshole who doesn't care about community."
I've had those accusations thrown my way before in places like LEO, even though they specifically chose the week where I upvoted myself the most to use the stats against me, negating everything I do on Hive, with intent to increase my stake to help my buddies, but hey... Everyone has a different perspective, and many are non trusting by nature.
EDIT: Correction.. POB, but I'm sure the same cowards were stalking me there too... I bet I was even voting those coward stalkers at times.
