Hey yallapapi,

its actually 4 cents.. ;-)
and Oh @solarwarrior, you sweet sweet innocent boy .... I wished I wished.. ;-)

Actually I am convinced that you are spot on.. I should have enough economic and financial market knowledge to describe and forecast how this steemit machine works... and I wanted to write a series about the problems and possible solutions as in every ICO I have seen the cryptoeconomics are the neglected child that nobody cares for.. and I believe same happens here.. I will write some articles about this... but as the only feedback you get is votes and comments and those have been scarce for my blog I fear I will write for the waste bin....

So the economic feedback loop yielding to the point that you are getting paid for your hard work was much more a perspective of an ideal world compared to the current situation here... and wishful thinking and some dreaming... ;-)
Actually atm for me to watch and blog on steemit is much more economics 101 and watching a sandbox arena of a 100% wild west market.. its just amazing how the term "you will get what you incentivise" is bang on on steemit...

but before this response gets to long.. let me draw the following conclusion:
experiencing with bid bots, writing content and curating yielded in a total negative return as the received votes could not compensate for the money lost with voting bots..
and at the same time I only have some economic success here because steemmonsters.. as steemmonsters has been the only light at the end of the tunnel for me.. in terms of joy but also economically...
so steemmonsters atm is what would give me the best hope towards a prosperous steem and steemit..
(sorry, I had to correct my earlier article.. I mixed up you yallapapi with yabapmatt, one of the steemmonsters founders.. sorry for that)
