Hahah! Great post man, don't know how I missed this one. I have been living with this philosphy lately. After I created this account back in may (user 9000-10000) but forgot my password for a while and came back first after the first payouts, I've had the feeling to try and catch up as much as I can for the time I haven't spent steeming. As someone who used reddit a lot (same username) and really liked to comment, I spend most time commenting.
"Instead, start making 15,000 $1.00 post!"
I am almost at a 1:1 ratio with comments:steempower, hehe, and that just after commenting for a month. =)
Edit: this post had 420 votes so I didn't wanna destroy that with mine. :P
