RE: Idea: How to Encourage Good Curators and Help Promote More Good Content on Steemit
Even if you bought $2000 dollars worth of Steem Power, your vote would be worth only 1 cent.
You would have to spend hundreds of thousands to equal a whale.
Note the whales didn't spend this type of money - they just got in very early mining Steem when it was in it's alpha stage and the public didn't know about it. It cost them a few hundred dollars if that.
Nobody is saying you should become a whale by investing thousands of dollars, even that 1 cent per vote can make a lot of difference... I know it from experience being at both sides already, the one getting it and the one giving it.
It doesn't matter what the whales did and when they did it, there are also investors that got in later and have invested serious amount of money into the project as well. This is a long term investment on their side, so they should be also thinking about investing in the people that help steemit develop and evolve. That is why my idea here is trying to promote - investing not only in the platform, but also in the people that will help it develop and continue to grow and that goes not only for good content creators that get votes, but for curators as well.
small changes in the long run, consistently...
I got a 1 cent vote ( http://www.steemdollar.com/dollar_per_vote.php?name=ottodv ) by investing half a Bitcoin. Although strangely I don't see my vote increase the balance every time (I guess the formula is more complex).
It is kind of nice to have your vote be worth something. Nothing like a whale maybe, but my little vote can at least help get the ball rolling a little bit more now than before.
