RE: We shouldn't be discouraging people to power down. Being able to earn crypto (=Bitcoin) on Steemit is one of it's best features that could draw in millions of users
I have only been on the platform for about a month and a half. From the beginning, I have left my post settings to 50/50, and my strategy is to cash out any SBD (because poverty, I need the income), but keep the SP as power, which selfishly speaking helps me earn curation rewards too. I don't have much yet, but it IS accumulating, and if ever there's an emergency and I need rent money I could power down, so it's also like a savings account of sorts. But I also want to be able to help other Steemians earn and so even for not selfish reasons, I want to be able to upvote and have that contribute. It's a true community thing, we help each other here, and I love it.
Exactly! I am at 50/50 post settings too. I pay some upvote bots to promote my posts with SBD, so that goes right back into the system and comes back as SP.
And yes, having SP and being able to upvote other people is a great way of bonding with followers! I just wish I had that voting slider, so I wouldn't be drained so quickly!
I am always checking my vote % and going ...damn. LOL I am with you on the drained thing. I just saw your minnowbooster upgoat so I decided to try it myself for the first time! :)
Minnowbooster is great!!
OH apparently I have to check the graph for amounts. Wa wa waaa. Try again. LOL
