RE: Am I stupid?

I also know of others that make free delegations for the purpose(s) of spreading the rewards more broadly into the Steempool, encouraging particular creators, and more besides. I'll not name names as @aggroed (oops!) and others are competent to blow their own horns, should they want to.

I know that @aggroed has mentioned his delegations elsewhere, so I reckon I'm not revealing secrets in his case, while others may be less interested in having their trumpets sounded.

I have long and strongly approved of these kinds of delegations as being most potential to more broadly disseminate SP to worthy minnows whose success will put upwards pressure on Steem, creating a rising tide that floats all wallets.

While profitability of bidbots seems a slamdunk, at least for the short term, ignoring the long term effects of controlling the rewards pool for the purpose of profiteering, on a social media platform originally intended to reward quality content and human interaction, neglects the long term profit potential of rising Steem price. That is a far more emunerative potential for investors, as BTC showed this past year.

Thanks for proving my point that it's neither foolish to support folks that support the price of Steem from a financial standpoint, nor to strengthen the community we all love!
