Awesomely put together post @cryptoctopus ! I really like it, and the header as well, haha :)
You managed to put into words exactly what I'm thinking - that's exactly the reason I'm such a big fan of SteemVoter, so I can support all sorts of authors, and get those curation rewards on auto-pilot. I only get like 0.005 SP / curation reward, but damn it adds up over time, and the more it adds up, the more I end up making back in curation rewards. My voting power is always between 10% and 20% as I drain it all day long. I try to keep myself busy as well, I experiment with posting different things on my blog, using upvote bots (decent ROI) and make sure to do whatever I can to hoard coins that I think are going to be strong. I currently have about 80% of my portfolio in STEEM POWER (nothing liquid tho). So umm.. yeah.. STEEM ON!
