As I am sure some of you have already realized that our vote is now worth more, way more!
Since the price of Steem has been decreasing I can only assume the surge is due to @abit and @smooth “No Upvote Whale test”.
Before the so called “Whale experiment” my votes were rewarding 0.01 cents, now my votes are worth 0.08 cents. I have also noticed that my curation rewards have doubled in the past week, again thanks to the experiment.
I do not want to debate whether the experiment is the right or wrong thing to do, I believe people who bought into Steem and became whales are free to do whatever they please with their stake, this includes using it to counteract other whales of course. However, the impact on the influence of minnows and dolphins has been tremendous since the whale test started.
I am not sure where this experiment will take us or what will come out of it, but for now I hope that dolphins and minnows are enjoying their new found POWER!
