@ats-david for supporting so many minnows on the platform--me included. Because of his support, minnows like me have a more increased value, which makes for higher voting power and better giveaways, and this makes the world go 'round!
I've known him since he started here. He cares about the success of the platform and spreads the love like a mad man. Upvote if you agree with his efforts, and I'll send over the earnings to his witness account 
He uses the money to run his server, do dev, manage steem parameters, fund his sports and poker contests, downvote bot comments and posts, and support up-and-coming steemians who provide quality content to the platform, among other things.
@ats-witness on the witness list right here!
He is currently #54 on the list (you can see that here). If he gets in the top 50, he'll show up on the steem-supported voting list and he'll be able to leave input and have voting power with the witness board. He has a good sense of what it takes to have a healthy economy in cryptocurrency--especially steem--and he knows how to interpret the market trends. He's been doing it for years and has a knack.
Just my two cents -- hoping to give back more than that, so be sure to upvote and check him out!
