The value of engagement, alts for curation and random coiny thoughts.

I've been consuming more content lately, and invariably curating more often. I find it rewarding to actually read the posts before I upvote them because I actually feel like I just added value, albeit tiny value, still, it is value. Reading posts and curating them from traditional hive front ends like peakd or hive blog is no pickle, however, the issue arises when I start curating in tribe front ends.

I've noticed that many people have specific alts for different front ends, and I had always wondered why. It seems like a lot of stress to constantly switch between these accounts to upvote and then also, to post comments and stuff.

With the way I've been curating in those front ends, I've been burning my hive voting power in the process. I mean, don't get me wrong, I also want to distribute hive, the only issue is that in those moments, I was trying to distribute something else.

So the solution is to go the same route I've seen others go, and use an alt for this purpose. It will reduce the work load on my hive voting power and give me freedom to decide what I'd like to distribute.

Still on the matter of distribution, engagement within the community has a face and value. It's a hive-engine token with value and all you need to do to distribute it is have up to 1001 pieces or above. I initially thought that when I distribute it would come out of my balance but it doesn't. The ENGAGE token, valued around 0.04hive is a really nice way to reward people that contribute positively to your posts, and it is particularly useful for people like me with small hive power.

Still in the topic of coins, there has been some positive movement in the crypto market as a whole. The few tokens I hold have seen progress but for me, the best is yet to come. Word on the street of crypto is that Leo will be getting into the DeFi circle on the 15th of September, and for me, that's the big one. Once the wLeo is getting the attention it deserves out there, and we external listing on a big exchange,all that's left to do is keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best
