@matteopaints, thanks for explaining your technique to us. As you’re figuring out around here, the more personable we become like giving away secrets or the more relatable we become like communicating with our audience the more successful we are.

Congratulations on all of your success here Matteo, your paintings deserve all of it.

And, congratulations on reaching 66 SP on your own, that’s awesome! As I stated several months ago, I would pull back my delegation once you reached 50 SP because someone with your kind of talent needs to be heard around here, a lack of resource credits for such a talented artist is unacceptable. You have plenty of resource credits now to do all of the communicating you’re accustomed to without my delegation. I’m going to pull back now, the delegated SP will leave your account in exactly 7 days, ok? .....but it’s not going in my pocket, sir—Nope!

I want you to know I’ll use your delegation and double down on it and delegate to @curie. Curie is the big upvote that both you and I reach for along with everyone else on this platform. In case you haven’t noticed, there’s some changes going on over there—@hendrikdegrote, the big wallet that chases curie, has been powering down for several weeks. What does that mean?

It means their biggest financial support is powering down 100k SP ever 7 days, hence the reason curie’s votes are now worth more than his. But they won’t be worth anything if we don’t delegate to their curation initiative. They help undiscovered talent get recognized every day but they’ll be limited if the community doesn’t help them out.

When you get to a point where you can afford to spare some SP, I recommend giving them a look! 👍🏿 Also, you can chase their trail (the one that hits you sometimes), you can adjust your computer to upvote the content they upvote, you’ll hardly notice the dip in your voting percentage while spreading your Upvotes among many accounts, some new, some seasoned.

I see you’ve been hit a few times by @creativecrypto, too, that’s another good initiative to consider following, my accounts chase both of them, Matteo. When the time comes, should you need help delagating and/or trailing, I’m right here, I’ll walk you through either or both, they’re quite simple actually.

The pleasure’s all mine, @matteopaints, I’ll see you around!

You see this one @splatz?
