Power Up 122 Steem: Benefits of Power Up for the Steem Ecosystem
Power up today
Steem prices have recently decreased significantly, this is of course closely related to the massive sales of steem some time ago. We can't beat the people who sell steem because it's their right, but we have to leave 50 or 30% of our steemit income for power up so that the price of the steem ecosystem can be more stable and compete with other cryptocurrencies.
We all definitely want to see the steem community become the number one community in the world, all of us want that to happen but few of us are trying to make it happen. To make it happen is also not easy, but with the support of all the world's steemians, of course the impossible will become possible again.
We can do this by holding Steem through power up, fortunately lately there have been many movements from community leaders to ask their followers to continue to power up. And many of the steemians are starting to realize the importance of power up and start doing power up even though it only depends a little on our income from steemit.
As I did today, the number is not much, even the smallest among other steemians. However, it can be seen that I have consistently done power up from the first time I started to be active again in Steemit, I did power up depending on how much I made on Steemit because not all posts will get support from curators but we have to stay positive and keep learning and work hard.
Benefits of Power Up
SP is designed to encourage long-term holding rather than short-term selling. This encourages more users to have a vested interest in the long-term success of the platform. - Steem Whitepaper
From this explanation, we can understand that holding SP is for the success of the Steemit platform. Instead we save it as liquid steem we better save it in SP form, besides we can reward other users and we can also get curation. Actually there are many more benefits and uses for us to do power up and I all know that steemian.
We are not required to power up all of our income from steemit, but at least one post who get big rewarded we can saved to powering up. For example, in one week there are two posts that get big rewards so save one reward for your income and the other for power up. It would be hypocritical if we say that we are in Steemit not to make money.
And how lucky steemian right now, we are no longer difficult to find rewards like when first i'm joined Steemit. Now there is a steemit team, @steemcurator01 who is very active by our side in providing rewards for good content, in the past all of this was nonexistent even the Minnow had to cry and beg for votes from the whales, we are very lucky now, bro.
I don't want to talk about past experiences because it all passed so let's enjoy the moment and hope steemit will continue to be the number one decentralized social media platform in the world.
