Thanks for the post, @quinneaker. I appreciate your perspective given your tenure here on Steem.

I have similar thoughts regarding holding onto, and powering-up, whatever Steem I am able to acquire, although I am brand new to this platform. However, simply from a boot-strapping point of view, maximizing your influence by plowing "profits" back into SP ought to propel one forward to higher gains later.

I appreciate your philanthropic efforts although I do not know much about @gardenofeden. Certainly to maintain a healthy and positive environment, some portion of what we do here ought to be of a Service nature and not simply self-serving.

Thanks for the post. I have followed you so that future posts will be in my feed. Feel free to follow me back and good luck here on Steem.
