RE: Why some minnows remain the way they are

learn, adapt, and overcome :) it's a bit soldiery but it's how things get done, don't complain, don't wish for something, make the best you can and don't expect anything in return, the road is the goal not the summit. Learn, grow and develop yourself, that is the only stability you can expect. Once you have enough to share do so, a solid foundation will help you build up, but it's better when there are more people around. Make sure you don't make assumptions, always revise and refine :)

So advise for everyone for what? because that matters :D the topic is important. If it's for steem, interact and form communities, help each other and share the growth, steem is free, so be free, don't get caught up in bullshit and don't cause it. It's much more fun to learn, study, grow, connect, share, meet than it is to prove your point and be the "winner"

or you can have millions and only vote, not talk with anybody and pump dump coins on markets :) that's a good choice too :D

I'm not sure what to say, success never was a goal for me I know the costs :) and it's harder to remain successful since you have to protect your investments.

I do wish that there is more cooperation and spread for everyone, rather than strive to be first and have more and more and more.

I do tend to talk too much, hope it's not irrelevant to the topic.

Chill out, have fun is the advice for everyone. and give me your steem :D of course :)
