I missed this post when it was possible to upvote it and resteem, which I would have done to spread encouraging news written in brief and understandable prose.
But in regards to your subject, I am happy to hear the rewards pool is bigger and that low Steem price cuts down competition. I am very active in an attempt to accumulate Steem by earning it and I purchase it regularly also. I am bullish on Steem and Steemit for the longterm. I guess time will tell if I am foolhardy or wise 😆
In any event I enjoy your brief posts for their point of view. I am new and like to see multiple points of view on things I am invested in, so I will keep reading. 👍
