I have no idea what steem I've earnt via curation vs posting - I do know I put in alot of effort though. I'm crap at data, unless i beg @abh12345 for it - and even then, my eyes glaze over and I forgot what it told me lol. I wonder if people WOULD feel that way about people who've left and come back - sometimes I think we're pretty grateful when people come back after a long absence. The 4 week powerdown does seem a worry to me - a lot of people might sell - BUT if you know you can sell at any time and get a reasonably quick return, perhaps you'd just hold on anyway.
Then there's always the big personalities that seem to draw people's adoration even though they don't - and haven't - done much at all. That kinda gets my goat a little.
Always interesting times anyway.
I came in when Steem was around the 3 dollar mark - that boggles me now. I don't even look at the price now - I can't be bothered with any negativity and complaining. It's all fun and games anyway.
