Dear @the4thmusketeer

Thank you for your previous reply. Appreciate.

then the $200 investment will not be as big of a mental barrier for most people.

I'm only not sure if we understood each other. My point is that most new users even now suffer with low RC because it's not easy for many of them to power up.

Thousands of content creators are from Venezuela or other developing countries. Even now Steemit is losing enormous amount of new users because it's forcing people to power up. But people will mostly not mind spending 10-15$ to see what this platform is about.

Would they spent 200usd? I really think we would experience amount of new users dropping to all time low levels (assuming that algorythm calculating Resource Credit would not be changed by Steemit Inc).

've got some burnout recently from Steem, trying to keep up with Steem and being busy in life, but doing the best I can.

I know what you're feeling. Hope you can rest few days and come back again. Fresh and "hungry" :)

Yours
Piotr
