I know how you feel. This cypto market development is relatively new, if you give them your personal information and they go down it makes you wonder what could happen to your personal information as there basically isn't any regulations in place.

I am not real happy with the tribe circle jerk voting either, it's just another way, as you stated, that makes it impossible for the smaller accounts to get noticed. I don't fall for that "quality" content thing either as there is a lot of stuff I see that shouldn't even be making thirty bucks BUT the person is in the circle jerk and usually has enough vote power to make his vote worth something in the circle jerk of things.

I have no doubt Bernie will resurface eventually, it's the all "new steem" thing and recreating new ploys to play.
