I have written a couple articles about building and lifting the network and spiralling value outwards to those who are looking long-term and hopefully more with 'unused' SP will loan it outwards to do this. I call them community nodes.
I pay for delegation so I can be part of the community at a greater level but as some have mentioned, the smaller accounts need to spend some time developing good content and building their own wallet also. It is not good enough to rely on others for eternity nor to rely on bidbots and support programs.
It is getting quite expensive to keep paying for the delegation, though I can wear the costs better than many. 20 percent or so of my own SP is also delegated to others, some new starters, some for manual curators.
Lots of ways to help at every level of the ecosystem, it can't be left up to only a few though.
This is so true and often overlooked. So many people think they cannot contribute yet they can. There is so much going on here that it will take the efforts of everyone to really move this forward. It is happening before our eyes which is a wonderful thing.
I appreciate your comment @tarazkp. Yes not everyone is able to rent SP....in fact, it is risky for a great deal to do that since they do not understand how this all works.
As for the entire network, that is key....if STEEM is truly going to reach its potential, we need to see all aspect of the ecosystem improved and uplifted. Therefore, personally I am doing my part by posting and interacting with others. I leave the coding to the experts. LOL
