Did I really just make $133 from an idle account?
I've posted a couple times on Steemit from this account but none of my posts ever made a significant amount. The majority of my STEEM came from account creation.
However due to the recent rally it seems that minuscule amount is now worth $133! Is this true?
I'm finding it quite hard to believe. I understand how powering down works, so I know it it's not as simple as that. Either way, I'll be keeping it in Steem for now because this platform is no-where near reached its full potential yet.
Does that mean a reasonable Steemit strategy would be to create lots of accounts when STEEM to $ is low then wait for the next bubble? I don't want to undermine the system in any way at all, I'm just curious if that is indeed the case. And if so, is there anything to discourage this activity (and activity like it)?
I have another idle account that I started before this one which I couldn't access due to lost password. Well, in searching for the password to this account, I found my old accounts password too! However now I can't remember the username haha, so there's likely another $100 or so sitting in that account.
I understand the value of being on a platform like this early, but this is the first time I've seen that value translated into actual money, and it is glorious.
Long live Steemit!

Steem on!:)
I've been on a month, at this thing day and night and am only up to $90 so congrats! haha I think creating a bunch of accounts would be way more trouble than it's worth unless you are buying in with a ton of $green$, then maybe (?) Also, there is an account recovery option on the upper right dropdown, I'd look into that.
Congrats on getting to $90 - must be satisfying to know that you're providing real value for people, and to see that in monetary terms. I just made an account, posted a few times, then forgot about it. Kinda cheating, haha!
