LoL trolls will troll lol. I believe our system should encourage the lack of trolling, you can't make money putting people down or harassing them, too many eyes here against that. Seems to me the intelligence in this community is more mature so I hope as the trolls come in they get more put in check, its not a benefit to them. I do have concerns though about the flagging system. Its doesn't take much for a person with a chip on their shoulder to stop you from making money on a post here. I have seen a few times some flagged articles that had nothing wrong with them but a personal vendetta between two parties got out of hand and a flagging war broke out. Its out there in a few places. That is a concern for me, all honesty if someone pushes a user doing no harm here and flags them out of spite, that could spread to a huge issue. Like for me, I don't provoke people, but I will tell you this, if I get a flagging situation that doesn't stop, its gonna put me off about Steemit and move on. That is a situation that may need more looking into, unsure that system I like, only takes one flag to destroy your work? That I am not so sure about, I need to look more into how that applies

Yeah, the flagging could get out of hand, but just keep the post pretty clean and I think you'll be ok.
If you provoke a Whale and piss them off, could be a bad day for ya :)
Just referenced your post in my introduction, finally got around to doing it, check it out,

Thanks for the mention, just upovted you...gotta recharge the voting power, I ate mine up lol. I agree, but you know how people are, they get pissy sometimes for the oddest stuff out there lol...luckily I have a few ins out there due to working in PIVX and met a bunch of whale types. I think I should be safe if I just keep going the way I been but never know when you cross someone unknowingly lol I best be on my best behavior lol
I hear ya, even mentioning PIVX to a bitcoin maximalist could get you on their bad side, don't worry, not easily offended so you'll be ok with me :)
lol...like I said..used to work with them lol. Honestly though I have always been about Bitcoin myself..its what got me in here and what ultimately I hold the most, well now Steem too. That actually all I hold now is those two, done running in circles lol
Sounds good to me. I'm probably over diversified, hate to see everything on the Market Cap climbing, but my coins :)
I kind of view trading different than most due to learning to be long term. I seriously welcome when coins drop because you end up getting more volume, lower value ends up paying way higher later when the coin bounces back. In this game lately if your on a coin that you know has a rebound in the markets after BTC drops and takes alts with it, then you will bank hard cash more by buying it up like a madman when the value is crap. Only way to lose in this game is a few ways, sell off less than you bought it for, buy into a coin that is a scam and they drop developing out of the blue which ends up killing the coin for good on you, or you keep buying too high and have to hold for a very long period. Now a days the long holds don't happen so much, when I first got in it could take a year before a recovery happened on a coin so right now everything is pretty prime, just a little wait game. I used to hold a lot of coins myself, always hopeful I spread around to where one would pop off and I have a bunch of it but at this stage I just been holding onto ones I trust, keep voluming up and sell off when I really need the cash. I gave up on watching charts on exchanges about 5 months ago, I come to realize scraping change daily and paying exchange fees was just killing my income. Now I guess you say I just sell when I need some money and hold for later. Less stressful lol.
I hear ya on the less stressful part. I'm pretty much a long holder myself, just pretty spread out. The market is bound to go sideways or down at some point, but right now it's popping, never want to exit a bull market too soon!
