Interesting post, thanks, I will be checking out these posts from John McAfee.... agree that STEEM has a huge amount of potential for the long term.
Also, I'm quite new here, and something strange just happened, I upvoted your post, and normally when I do it they rise 1 or 2 cents, but this one jumped up by about 8 dollars.... do you know why that happened? Must be good for you though! Thanks , Rob
Hi @lifeoptimsation, and welcome, I have been here only for a few months. That used to happen to me as well. Seemed to be random, I tried a few different things to try to pin it down and nothing worked. If you vote at the same time as several people it jumps up in an instant. If you gain any insight please let me know.
Pretty sure that you are just seeing other people’s votes mingling with yours. The post value needs to refresh, so particularly if you’ve been reading the article, all the time you’ve been reading new votes have been occurring. When you click to place your vote, it refreshes the counter in your browser and can create the seeming jump if a lot of activity was happening.
*to clarify- the mingling votes aren’t making them more powerful either, votes are determined entirely by Steem Power and vote strength percentage. If there was a big jump, one or more of the voters just had significant power.
That is what I thought, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. An early Happy Weekend to you, depending on what part of the world you are writing from.
Thank you for the kind upvote @bryan-imhoff
