I understand what your saying about more people posting as the price goes higher. I try to make three good posts a day, combining writing about finance with posts about traveling. I have been writing a lot during the bear market for exactly the reason you mention “ less competition” .

Although I am happy that the Steem price has begun to rise, I know it also means I need to keep improving the quality of my posts to stay worthy of the votes I get and keep my following.

Take care and I am glad your dad is okay.
