I get what you are saying.....if you are always double thinking if you should be doing something or not it will really mess with your head.

It is tough to push super hard at things for sustained amount of time without seeing some reward.

The one thing I will say about comparing yourself to that in athletics people just continue to get better and better at a younger age comparing themselves to others. Now with video online you can see what others are doing and suddenly it becomes possible in the persons head and then they figure..... well if they are doing it then I have to as well. Same with action sports. I remember when the first back flip was and the first double backflip on a dirtbike...... then they started doing them on Snowmobiles. It is evolving so fast it is unreal.

Now I'm seeing it all the time on Instagram.

Yeah, physical stuff where you are there in the flesh or can see how it is done is much easier than this invisible online malarkey.

You never know the rules, it is always like other people seem to know the rules better because they are doing better and the thing is. You might never know why. IS it because they are better, maybe... probably not. You just dont know. So I say fuck it. And on here, well, as long as you arent shitposting and you never do then justdo what feels natural and let it work itself out without killing ya :OD

yeah that is true. I think one thing on this platform is that there are a lot of ghost figures that had the real powerful accounts. Bitcoin / Ethereum / Bitshares whales who then diversified over here and ended up with a lot of power. A lot of them are very technically sophiticated so they could have made a ton early on. Like remember @wang ? I just checked that account and he cashed out 150,000 STEEM 7 / 8 months ago. Jeez! But I think he initially earned a ton by running that bot. who knows who it was. Just a Ghost! lol

I remember wang! Man, 150,000 steem! That's wild. Yeah, it's funny if you look at old posts and see who was voting back then. So many faces that are either gone or now delegate to bots. sigh

Yeah it is so true. I sort of figured we would all move together as young whale calves and grow up together to travel the open oceans together. LOL I guess others didn't see it the same way.

Hehe, that would have been nice. I think for long term folk the big hurdle is when you hit the mid sixties as a rep. I found support talked off dramatically and it seemed more focused on newbies

I think so as well. It is odd because I see a few who seemed to achieve a level of support that had some heavy hitters. I also think that if a person gets 100,000 SP or more they are in a really good position to attract other Orcas / whales and bloated dolphins
