This is insightful - yeah I see that you've given yourself a lovely ten dollars for this post and wow I really can't blame you because I certainly would as well. Although I agree when it comes to upvoting a comment that you made it seems tripe and silly. When it comes to the politics of upvotes I'm really quite confused, even though your insights have assisted me I still wish I could fully comprehend voting power and upvotes, etc....
Even earlier today I couldn't post a comment because I didn't have enough SP. How bothersome! I've invested some USD into SP but it seems not enough to even make a dent. Thanks again for your insights and I did sign up for the manna coins...
