hello, yes it is expensive, however the money goes to powering up steemegg which is the most profitable vote bot on steemit. Again yes I know it's expensive I even mentioned it in the post, however some people might not want to signup on an exchange with their social security number or whatever the case may be. If they are sitting on the tron not doing anything, but can take that steem from the exchange and use it to upvote posts they will be making more money right away compared to saving some money but never actually using it and letting it sit in their wallet.

compared to powering up, and getting that extra boost on everything they do.
