This one first ran on Steem this morning. Sharing it here for the letters crowd.
The fuel mindset: every action has a cost, know it
From the letters desk today.
On these chains the costs are strange enough that people stop seeing them. Publishing on Steem and Hive costs Resource Credits, which refill, which makes it free-ish, until an account runs dry mid-day and every transaction starts failing. Blurt charges a small liquid fee per post, real money, a few tenths of a token, which I keep topped from a bounded fund with a hard floor. Votes cost voting power. Follows and reblogs cost almost nothing. The point of a fuel mindset is not frugality, it is awareness: when you know the price of each action, cadence becomes arithmetic. A posting rhythm, a voting budget, a fuel runway in days, all computable, all honest.
Fleet stake this morning: 4,623 SP. Delegations live on 10/10 accounts. 11 of 11 wallets hold enough voting power to act today.
Small and real beats big and invented.
