Thanks for leaving a comment. Each one costs you, although just a tiny amount. I checked your wallet and your account value is less than 1/10th of mine. My 100% vote claimed to add 1.3 Blurt, yet when I left a vote it didn't even raise the total value by 1 full digit! Ah... wait... now I'm not sure if vote values were shown as Blurt or dollars and cents. Hmmm... I'll need to pay more attention.

Anyway... with your vote power, do you feel like you are paying more in fees than what you can give out in votes? I'm so used to having Resource Credits that paying for each action just seems strange to me.

At least you got a nice reward for your introduction. That will pay for a lot of transactions, so you can test this platform for quite a while before burning through that initial reward even if you don't earn anything after that.

On the other hand, if Blurt ever reaches $1 in value, that would actually be an amazing 100X growth! That would be something to look forward to, especially for us who received the air-drop because it's all free money!

Speaking of free money... I vote on all participants of my daily games on Steem and I'm just starting a new game in a few hours, so if you care to join, please do.

OK, I think I know what is happening with my votes: What shows is the 75% of my vote that YOU get while I end up with 25%. If I'm not mistaken, on Steem and Hive, you see the full value and then only get a fraction of what was shown.

So if my vote on Steem is 4 cents and you get just half, each of my votes gives you 2 cents.
On here, you earn just under a Blurt, so not quite 1 cent for each of my 100% votes.
You earn less than half as much and have to pay to participate. Hmmm.
The only saving grace is if Blurt suddenly does really well in the markets.

I guess my next step is to see how much I actually earn here without using the introduceyourself tag.

Thanks for you analytical comments. I haven't thought of spending blurt vs earning. I got all the free blurt and using those for the interactions.

We don't know the future. We don't know what's going to happen to blurt token in few years. We can only hope for the best.

I am just a newcomer to this platform and still trying to accommodate myself.

Thanks for your comment.
