Thank you for your explanation @dfinney but I did make it clear from the start that I am not a stacker, I am a trader and I trade in gold and crypto. I also made it clear from my introductory post that while I am here to share, what I hope will be, good quality and wide appealing content I am also here to make money, like many others. I do hope that your community isn't averse to using Steemit to make money. If I'm honest I'm a little confused really why I was nominated by @enginewitty and seconded by @saffisara because perhaps my profile isn't compatible with this group's required criteria.

I currently delegate 2,000 SP to the SteemSIlverGold community because I'm trying to generate SP and build my stake in what is a very unique platform that, despite all the current woes, has a copious amount of potential. Being new to the platform I chose to delegate to your community for obvious reasons.

Each day I expend 20% of my VP on curation of other peoples' posts and make comments in addition. I am very pro-active in the Steem community but I do not restrict my voting to just members of the SteemSilverGold community.

With all of the above said I have genuinely enjoyed hanging around The Alliance Discord server and I have got to know some great people. I hope that I can continue to do so but I ask that you withdraw my application for membership of your community. Thank you.
