I think it's a good idea once you become a strong whale to stop upvoting your posts completely. However, I don't think it makes sense for minnows to do that yet. I've been noticing the price of steem as well and I hope that this is the bottom because it's also possible we might go back down to $0.70. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the minnows are spamming and also the fact that there's so many arguments at the top right now. Wish I had $1600 to spend. Can I borrow some? ;) I kid, I kid.
