RE: Muting the better downvoting?
I read the post you were commenting on and your response caught my eye. So true what you say. Challenge: how does Steemit address this? I imagined in my childish way that everyone upvoted as I did because they either enjoyed, got something out of, or at least appreciated the post. Then I learnt of Bots. Surely the people who make bots could do it better? Thanks for this.
I assume you mean you've read my topic about incentives?
No I haven't read your topic on incentives. I looked at your page, you're quite opinionated so I wanted to see what I agreed with (or not) and in the main I think you have a fairly balanced viewpoint, still trying to work out what era you really emerged from. I'm too old to worry about the meme's thing, but pick up on it now and then. Are you interested in foreign film? I see you must have a liking for or interest in Japanese cartoon films. I would like to know if you saw the Red Turtle. Meme's as such are beyond my thought process. Where may I read your topic about incentives?
I grew up in the 80s. I didn't watch the Red Trutle. Here is the topic.

Well you're really smart that's for sure. I get it now, anime being the Manga style/Japanese style cartoons, is that right? My husband is a great fan and as a graphic designer and artist, thinks some of the artwork brilliant. That said, I grew up in the '40s and 50s so that makes me ancient. Not so ancient that I don't understand blockchain and cryptocurrency etc. I could write a book about my attempts at getting on certain sites so that when I want to move some funds later on, I can do so and get some small income. Blighted at every turn so far. Now, you mention Greece. I was there in through the 1970's and 80's and a bit beyond. I used to write and travel. I learned a lot and absolutely love Greece and the Greeks. Indeed my daughter and two grandchildren also all speak Greek (my grandkids gave up a lot of Saturday's to attend Greek school in the mornings) but my son-in-law doesn't speak Greek, he just shakes his head and says a few words. They love him in Greece by the way, even though he makes little effort but he is very amiable. Enough said. Your topic was totally educational and from what I see you don't like the way things happen on Steemit that are unfair, because that's what they are. You have to keep on doing your thing and I am certain it will earn you lots in the long run, we are not on this for the short term. I am following to see how you go. Adio. Happy Steeming!
cheers
What do you think of my recent topic about crypto? (it's on my blog)
I appreciated your post a lot. I spoke to someone yesterday whom I know had bought some Bitcoin as a way of perhaps later diversifying and who was watching the markets. He said that the market collapsed on Monday and Bitcoin lost a lot, but he said cryptocurrency is the future and that governments were investing in it too, despite calls for regulation. Anyway it bounced right back. I finally sent some Steem to a website, I won't say which one, because it's new to me and I spent ages just trying to get the security right, now I have no idea what I have, what it's worth. I'll let you know if it's just a load of rubbish or it works. I may just as well left my Steem where it was and powered up! Anyway, all you state is true and when you finally stated that "if you don't pay money, you didn't lose money. It only means you make a lot less than expected." that's exactly how many who joined Steemit last year, including myself, I'm sure had felt. I am still enjoying Steemit because we can have conversations randomly such as this, and because there is good stuff out there. I like the idea of a community and for the values it says it likes to promote, but unfortunately, like life, there is the good and the bad. I resteemed as more people should read this. Thank you
Thanks for the support. The age when people were sharing stuff on Facebook for virtual cows was the best. No greed when actual money is not involved XD.
You're welcome. Now I know you exist and have an opinion I am following you, keep it up!
