](https://steemit.com/liberty/@teamsteem/thank-you-dan-larimer-you-are-a-great-mentor) My vote is worth 200$+! It's the [53rd](http://mysteemitfriends.online/effectiveSP.php) most powerful vote on Steem. I allocate between [0.5-0.7%](https://steemdb.com/labs/rshares?date=2018-02-18) of the reward pool daily. I'm at around 0% self upvote in the last 31 days. 90%+ of my voting power comes from a delegation. I'm forever grateful to this person. Thank you! The sole purpose of this delegation is to make a positive impact. Since this have been write 3 days ago, numbers have changed. I'm as grateful as I was. How could I be otherwise? ## What Is This Post All About? It's about intriguing people and inciting them to join. It's about sharing what I know and do. It's about doing my best. It's about helping people. ## Top 100 Most Powerful Votes [

](http://mysteemitfriends.online/effectiveSP.php) ## Make The Most Out Of Your Steem Posts ### Quality Quality is the most important factor in determining a post's success. Nothing can make up for poor quality. ### Reach Out To People Our posts' audience is as important as our post's quality. Quality posts don't guarantee an audience and without an audience our posts can't succeed. Not all votes are worth the same and not all voters vote alike. ### Titles And Thumbnails Are Gateways To Your Posts Our titles and thumbnails are what we use to persuade people to read further. Give your titles special attention. Make them short and punchy. ### Who Votes? Out of the top 50 most powerful votes, 10+ accounts don't votes. Voting power is never lost, it is simply redistributed to everyone else proportionally to their stake. If only 1 person voted during an entire 30 day period this vote wout be worth the entire 30 day reward pool currently worth just shy of $2.5 M. ### Powerful Bid Bots 9 out of the 25 most powerful votes are bid bots. Those 9 bid bots have allocated 15%+ of the reward pool during the last week. Most bids seem to lead to a net lost for the bidders. Stats on this would be interesting. Bid bots can be used to put any posts on the trending page. ### Understanding Bid Bots If only one person bid on a bid bot with a 100$ upvote they'll get the whole 75$ no matter how much they bid. (25%, in this case 25$ goes to the bot as curation reward) If someone else were to vote double the amount of the first bidder they'll get double the vote value of the first bidder and so on. I would advice caution in using @sneaky-ninja @pushup and @aksdwi bots if not outright avoid using them.

Steembottracker.com provides everything there is to know. [Steembottracker.com](https://steembottracker.com/#bid) ### Words To Curators About Bid Bots Love them or hate them, bid bots exist. Encourage talented authors to use them, otherwise only bid bots farmers will end up using them. ### Steem's Specialized Platforms Out of the 30 most powerful voters who vote, 7 are specialized platforms. They've allocated 15%+ of the reward pool during the last week. You can only get those votes when posting from those platforms. | Account Name | Reward Mostly | Website | Voting Pattern | |--------------|--------------:|---------------------:|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:| | @utopian-io | Coders | https://utopian.io | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=utopian-io&days=31) | | @dlive | Live Stream | https://www.dlive.io | [Steemreports.com ](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=dlive&days=31) | | @dtube | Video | https://d.tube | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=dtube&days=31) | | @dsound | Audio | https://dsound.audio | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=dsound&days=31) | | @dmania | Meme | https://dmania.lol | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=dmania&days=31) | | @esteemapp | Mobile App | https://esteem.ws | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=esteemapp&days=31) | | @zappl | Twitter Like | https://zappl.com | [Steemreports.com](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=zappl&days=31) | ### @utopian-io [Utopian.io](https://utopian.io) is geared toward rewarding coders of open sourced project.

People I consider friend don't have to worry about this obviously. I read all comments made on my posts. Here's an example of a private message I've received and enjoyed. [

](http://www.steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=teamsteem&days=31) ## Life Favors The Deceivers Deceivers are at a definitive advantage in any situation. Predators and prays have used deception in their struggle for life since time immemorial. Humans aren't any different. In today's society, the most powerful people are its most astute deceivers and have everything to lose from being exposed. Deception begets deception. ## My Mission In Life I'm looking to build a world where compassion and courage prevail over deception and fear, where technology brings transparency in our relationships finally giving honest cooperation the upper hand over any other types of human interaction. ## Making Governments Irrelevant! Cryptocurrencies like Steem are making **"the cost of doing business outside the [cryptocurrency] system higher than the cost inside the system"** ^{[[1](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@teamsteem/dan-larimer-said-one-of-the-most-inspiring-thing-ive-ever-heard)]} and will sooner or later make national currencies obsolete. > "We're creating systems that make governments irrelevant, taking dispute out of their jurisdictions to allow people to interact securely with each other." ^{[[2](https://youtu.be/8e0tinzPTbY?t=23m54s)]}@dantheman ## The Unfathomable Deception We are able to produce more than at any point in history, yet there are still many people in dire need. Most people don't realize the size of the deception which have been pulled before them. The deceivers win each and every time they can pull out a deception. Sooner or later, the deception becomes unfathomable. Deception is the ultimate weapon. ## Dollar Dollar Bill! Fiat money is a deception benefiting those who create it at the expense of everyone else. Under the current system, an increasing amount of financial hardship is guaranteed. The deceivers are having it their way. In today's system, no amount of charity from well intended or deceiptful person can ever create less overall hardship. ## Doing Our Best In today's society, the least fortunate have no formal education, lack proper hygiene, medical care and haven't even eaten enough today. Sadly, how could we expect something else from a society mostly based on deceitfulness? I would love to plant upvote trees and give an infinite amount of votes. I'm just a simple guy trying to do what's best! ## Technological Abundance Technology have allowed human to [produce more](https://steemit.com/joy/@teamsteem/technological-abundance) than at any point in history. There's more than enough for everyone which can be shipped anywhere in the world faster and for cheaper than ever. Don't be deceived, everyone has incentives to deceive. ## Who Knows Why? ***"The reasons we live and the reasons we die? You can't figure this one, so why try?"*** ^{[[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zss_2Rs7uwM)]} I don't pretend to know what is this great mystery we're all part of. We don't know the extent of the deception which have been pulled before us. We could very well all be part of some sort of a real life Truman Show. ## Truth Shall Upset You Free > Because something burns inside of me It's everything I long to be **And lies they only stop me from feeling free** ## Interviews I Did This Week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIqrxlBpMw4 Interview with @ma1neevent and @poeticsnake ([link](https://youtu.be/O5flPY32H08?t=10m29s)) ## My Upcoming Post My upcoming post will go into more details about cryptocurrencies and how and why they will become the main currencies in the future. ## Thank You!
