To outperform the bidbots is possible, but requires more post rewards - as you know, using the bidbots can make the rewards appear larger, but they are not pure profits.

Also, because our upvotes are obviously made in SP, and curation rewards are received in SP, and our payouts are made in STEEM, the actual dollar prices of STEEM and SBD are not so crucial, however, they do affect post rewards. Also, as I mentioned in last Sunday's post, falling prices are not good as they erode pending rewards.

Thanks for your comment.
