RE: Blockchain Riders: Tips On How To Play 'The New Game Of Steem'
Try to think about it from an investment standpoint: every transaction on the blockchain comes with a specific price tag, while every transaction you execute is theoretically able to improve your stake / position in the network.
Consider that everything you contribute to this network (curation, feedback, transfer, etc.) has value.
I'll give you an example: voting is less expensive with regards to Resource Credits (mana) than commenting, however a personal comment left on someone's content may help you to gain attention - not only the attention of the one you addressed your comment to but also other users who're participating in the same thread. Now that specific comment may be of significant value to many users at the same time, and some may even consider starting to follow your blog as a consequence. So while you effectively spent a relatively high amount of RCs on leaving a comment on a post (versus just upvoting it), the outcome for you and the network may be significantly higher.
The impact you create in the network should be higher then the price you pay for it (in RCs).
That's at least my personal interpretation. There may be many other approaches :-)
So it ultimately come back to the quality of engagement we do on here.
Considering your example..if the comment is not worthy then no one ever going to put their eye...on it however if it has more sense and quality to it ..then we will get more of reward in expanding our network .
So whatever we are investing....must put value to it....that is great advice 👍 ...it also help avoiding shit and bogus comments..if the user are more smart..they are not going to waste their RC.
Thanks you so much for helping me out 👌

@surfermarly so what are the consequences of depleting your mana over leaving thoughtful comments..... or are there none?
Late to the party of RC, :))
Think about RCs as if they were gasoline for your car.
If you drive fast, you'll probably consume more gasoline, however you may reach your goal faster. If you drive slowly, you can save gasoline, but will probably need to drive a while longer.
You need to trade off the invest (RC) for your possible return (attention, connections, upvotes, etc.).
Practical example: If you leave 10 nonsense comments nobody cares about and pay a high amout of RC for it, it's probably less contributive than leaving 3 really well elaborated statements that may help you to grow your brand.
makes sense, I guess the aim is to promote "quality" on the platform then. @surfermarly many thanks
