Whales, I suggest that you support those stalwarts who hang around year after year, who are down in the holds of the ship bailing water to keep "this thing of ours" going.
Yeah, it would certainly be nice, but I don't know if many whales listen to this call. I find more and more medium-sized accounts who support each other. Maybe let's help people make it to Orcas.
Great idea. What hurt me a couple of years ago was having to liquidate my growing account in order to help an ill relative who was being financially abused by some of my relatives. This made my account less valuable to vote for as I had to drain my HP in order to assist the matriarch of the family. Who in the hell wants to upvote an account with 300HP? Not much in it for them, so I totally get it. But we're rebuilding slowly, and if I can find another no-KYC Bitcoin ATM, I can start the BTC>LTC>HIVE trail and begin re-growing this account much faster. The ATM I had been using earlier this year used to allow no ID purchases under $150 per day. It now requires KYC for all purchases. But I hear there may be a new one in the suburbs that I'm going to check out.
I have some extra money, It's just finding a way to turn that into HIVE without having to use Plaid at my local bank that's the issue. I really care about this platform, and the drop in active authors (and upvotes) alarms me. I want us to grow, not wither away like MySpace. I do see and appreciate your support.
