Thanks for your advice, Asher.
Ever since the beginning, I’ve been involved in supporting and educating others. (I’m a teacher in real life, so this comes natural to me, lol.)

I t wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago, after I had a conversation with @beeyou, that I realized that although this is a noble thing to do, I was limiting the growth of my own account. Especially because the higher you get on the chain, the less support you get from the bigger guys.

From thatthat moment forward, I changed my mindset. I started to see that the bigger I could grow my own account, the more people I could give some decent support.

But it was (and still is) a bit of an ethical battle. I actually want to do both.
So I started lobbying, trying to find people who were struggling with the same issues. And I found quite some people who were asking themselves the same question.

I do believe both can - nééd - to be combined. It’ all about finding the right balance.

Our bad luck is that the bigger you grow your account, the less people have a bigger account and can, or want to support.

So we’ll have to set up our own support system somehow, with little help from bigger accounts. In order to be able to maximize growth, us smaller and bigger minnows have to figure out how we can make the most out of supporting eachother. IMO, without forgetting to support the smaller accounts at the same time.

I’m not a good strategist, so I’m still hoping someone will come up with a solution that allows us to do both. Because I do remember how it was to be new, and if those newbies will have to wait until the 5000+ accounts will start supporting them, they will be long gone before they even got started.

I’m glad my repeated comments on the topic have raised a little awareness and that more people are thinking about how we can find the balance we need.
