If you write for Devtome, the PURPOSE of payment is to help you further your work.
If you don't spend your devcoins on getting research books, or making art, or buying software, or even just paying your internet bill... You could be doing a LOT more for the coin.
Sell some devcoins and get a webcam, and start talking about devtome on Youtube.
Then start reviewing other Devtomers work via YouTube... then...
Get a Dragon voice recognition headset, so you can talk into a headset and it will type for you. Then make videos to show others that they can do it.
And put a Devcoin wallet address under all the videos and tell people to buy devcoins and tip you with them to support you and the coin.
Do SOMETHING. And don't say "someone else is probably doing it" the MORE of us that make these videos, the HIGHER the price of DVC goes.
If that was addressed to me...the only reason you're able to do all that and accrue any value whatsoever for your writing is because enough of us value our efforts highly enough to choose not to sell into a falling market at these prices. I could sell all my dvc (and so could everybody else just like all those who hold btc etc), take out the entire orderbook and any prospective buyers for some time to come. That would mean you'd have nowhere to 'spend' yours.
Instead, I actually value the effort I put in at > near 0 and think it's more important to work on, promote and build a base of dvc trading, projects and businesses (including devtome), to focus on the most important projects that need addressing, and go from there. So instead of preaching from a position of faux self-righteousness why don't you instead appreciate that your good fortune is completely subject to the longer-term perspective of others and at this point without a self-sustaining market has almost nothing to do with anything you have done yourself (and I'm referring to the efforts of others there, not me).
