You shouldn't be posting here just for money imo. Just as people who post on Twitter or Facebook have never posted there for money. Being able to make some $$$ for your posts here should be seen as just a bonus over other platforms but you should never keep posting just for money. That's one of the problems many people have here and why there's so much spam. And the loss in BTC and USD as I said is not just with steem. All altcoins have suffered and continue to suffer. If you had bought anything, whether Litecoin or Dogecoin or really anything else, you would be in the same loss or even more. This fork will leverage curators by doubling their rewards. I think curators should be rewarded even more imo because technically 100% of the rewards belongs to them. They can just upvote themselves instead of your posts and take 100% of the rewards themselves which is what some have been doing or sell upvotes through bidbots which is again what many have been doing. This fork will make things better for curators but still won't be enough imo. I would like to see something like 75% curators vs. 25% authors. And I think that might as well happen further down the road.
