Only found out about this place yesterday and have been TRYING to understand what's going on, but is bringing dreadful memories of school back where i just DID not dig what teach was telling me but felt embarrassed to keep repeating 'WAHT?? HEY?? I don't understand' Well that is how I feel. I could talk to you under the table about mythology, and paganism, and art, and psychedelics, and the NWO, but i have not got a business head at ALL so am really struggling to get 'it'. Wanted to pm you about this but seems there is no way to pm people?

this site helped me, and I agree having joined a few weeks ago. I felt overwhelmed and lost and actually posted about yesterday but just keep reading steem help posts and learn more and more and it will start to illuminate.

I am in the same boat! Going to read the white paper now...

I am new to Steem also! I think that you should stick with it. It was very confusing to me at first, but now I am getting the hang of it. As I understand it you can invest your own money to buy more Steem power and increase your ability to make more for your posts and votes. IS THIS RIGHT EVERYBODY, CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG

OMG.....I just totally resonated with your comment....I'm feeling the same way here @julianoneill

The above comment was absolutely wonderful, giving a nice complement and encouragement. Why did it earn 47 cents and the Thank You $16 bucks? The article was well written and the writer has an amazing story behind him, come on whales please stop this bias voting keeping us people wanting fairness down. Finally a system where votes matter and the powers that be still not making much matter to level out success. Cheers!

Honestly, I'm not sure. His comment got 28 votes, and mine 9. As I understand it the weight of the voter matters a lot, but I need to understand the mechanics better.

Votes are weighted by SP. 5 votes with 100 SP each is equal to 100 votes with 5 SP each.
