I Am Powering Up More Steem! - Here's Why
THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE; THIS IS MY JOURNEY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MONEY.
I am powering up!

New Steem has been nothing short of amazing for me!
A lot of great content creators I see are making more rewards. Abuse is at the lowest level I have ever seen. Once malicious stakehodlers have now done a 180 and have become some of the biggest helpers of Steem.
I feel like we got our shit together right as the train for the bull market is pulling up. That's what good projects do, they BUIDL during the BEAR and show off what was built during the BULL. I believe this next run won't be so forgiving for shit projects. I think the cryptos that will do great next run will need to have solid fundamentals and external organic demand.
Steem is the embodiment of what Web 3.0 is and will be. Revolutionary code that solves a huge problem on a worldwide scale for the most in-demand resource on the planet, data.
But I am sure most of you know my feelings about Steem already, so why did I just decide to buy more?
With New Steem, came an environment where manual curation projects will thrive. Some things have a hard time thriving because they aren’t in the right position. I have a plant that nearly died because I had neglected to move it into a bigger pot. As soon as I put it into a better pot and started watering it, it started to rise. Old Steem was a neglected plant in an unfit container. New Steem is repotted into a fit container, and we are seeing new life burst out from all directions.
I can feel Steem's rise.
Manual curation projects are sprouting up and I believe the ones that set the tone now, will set the tone for the future direction of Steem. Good curators are not a dime a dozen, and the time to prepare is before the event, not during. Manual curation projects have a great chance to pluck all the high-quality curators right now, and I don’t believe this opportunity will last forever. You must capitalize on the opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity.
Looking at where the ball is going, I want to help get it there, and that is why I just bought 250k Steem and I plan to power it up and delegate it to @ocdb - a manual curation project.
Manual curation projects and the work I am seeing them put in is the exact reason I decided to power up this much more. I want to show large hodlers that they have a place to delegate Steem Power if they wish not to keep up with curation themselves. Delegating to curation projects creates a positive feedback loop that any investor should fall in love with.
Old Steem was investing in bid bots that was destroying the platform from within.
New Steem is investing to curation projects that build up the platform.
Manual curation is the fuel for Proof of Brain, and now that we have full tanks, well… see ya there!
Cheers to #NewSteem
Beastmode activated! :D
If only steem had some more investors like you that live in it and see the potential that lies behind it. You're right tho, many are turning into good ones due to the EIP and I'm sure there are many more to come that will see the same thing many of us here see and won't care to maximize steem ROI but value ROI for everyone instead.
Will be interesting to see what happens when more of the misaligned stake aligns toward supporting the growth of the platform.
Nice post @daan,
@acidyo: How come You don’t downvote @daan for using @upmewhale and you do it for me ? How come ? @acodyo you are bullying some good Steemians and it is not fair !
lol @ daan
I don't think he is, even if he was he is sending his rewards to steem.dao and not using a bid bot to profit off of it although I'm sure they're curating him in this post.
@acidyo I am not using bots, but they do seem to manually curate me from time to time :) Just check my transaction history.
Lol, forget this comment, he meant to tag theycallmedan probably, not me :p
On mobile and went straight to the comment without checking the post above
:D
Investor ? Are believing this?
I don't buy this BS at all. its just another fictional character
I mean, you couldn't take a look at his wallet or anything to find out...
What makes you think that?
Did you look?
What did you see?
I saw lots and lots of delegations in and out a substantial amount of liquid Steem and Steem Power.
lots of potential witness votes in all those accounts
I took his word for it.
But since you are persistent, I looked.
You don't see where he bought 269k steem 6 days ago and then sent it to his alt account and then delegated 250k of it to OCDB today? You need to work on your steem wallet forensic skills.
I forgot to compliment you on your forensic skills.
Unfortunatly I do not have any. I can only see as far as Steem being deposited into accounts from exchanges. I have no idea about how to find out about the actual purchase. For all I know it could have arrived from another Steemit account through an exchange.
I don't understand what point you are trying to make?
I know there are real people operating the accounts and I know those people are very keen to attract new investors to drive the price up.
And I can see he is trying to paint a rosy picture for potential investors. not sure what you are thinking
I don't know. You seem pretty opinionated for an account that opened a couple of weeks ago. Or are you a fictional character projecting unto him? ;)
The Post and the account seem just like an advertisement. Ra ra ra Buy Steem NOW you have control bla bla bla
There is nothing evil about it.
Its just that its not the whole story. We have some problems here regarding retention of users, abuses of users with flags, its very difficult for new accounts like mine to grow through curation. It appears that we have one big whale who owns the controlling stake of Steem and just about call all the shots. Its more helpful when we can see both sides of a story.
Ah and its not the size of your cock that counts : )
New tag #adedigdeep
Lol.
u believing this?
All scam, all the time. I don't even know if I am real.
I met you, and I'm still wondering if what I saw was real :-/
You're both simulated.
Something so hideous must be imaginary.
or so tiny its easy to miss? :-)
:*
We're not real. This all one big hallucination created by someone under the influence of their own form of truth. I'm stepping out the matrix now to show everyone the true truth, even though it could mean the end of me, who is really nobody, according to them.
This is reality and the outside is the inside and the truth of them is that we are their creators, not them our captors.
Am I real?... I'm confused... slowly fading... or am I just the imagination of one of my many alt accounts.
Where is the earth from the rabbit hole? Am I the rabbit? Why is my home full of steem?
One thing is certain. Dan is invisible and he's powering up water in a gaseous state to build his digital home with blocks made of numbers created all over the world.
🤦🏼♂️

Really love your PASSION!
And yes, agreed...
There has been a black and white shift in how things are unfolding around here and personally, I am loving it!I have been a die hard content creator here since I started on Steem in June 2017 and since I gave up my 11yr old business (and full time income) to explore this avenue I have forever been looking for ways to make it sustainable for me.
One of the ways I thought of some time back was to build up enough Steem power that, once I was earning enough SP daily I could have a small but continuous powerdown - one that did not negatively affect my current SP but allowed me to draw weekly/monthly what I need in order to cover my bills - and would hopefully lean in the positive in terms of powering up after a little time So it would either stay at level ground or grow whilst I withdraw
Not sure if I have explained this properly... lol
Anyhooo - I am loving the shift of #newsteem because it makes that goal "that much more attainable".
I have not stuck around this long because I thought this network was full of horse shit - NO - I am still here because I, like you - KNOW that Steem is shaping and making the future of social media!
It really is just a matter of time before the rest of the world wakes up!
I love the fact that manual curation is finally shining!!!!!
This is how things should be!
same here; powering up. Buying from open market.
I'm also powering up! Nice job and thanks for off setting some of the downvotes.
For reals?! I might have to step up too then 😂
SPUD is in 8 days. W8 for it if u can :)
Oh, good idea!
I definitely can. I am on the Steem blockchain since 2017.05.17. I believe in the Steem blockchain, and I am planning with it for the long term. Nowadays I am a minnow with currently (2019.09.23, 21:21 CEST) 681.573 Steem Power, but I will definitely participate (power up some Steem) on SPUD6.
In my opinion even the negative minded ones are buying Steem because the returns on curation reward is more than juicy, even personally I Feel this greed to buy more will intermittently increase the price of Steem.
We're delicately poised at this period to see a massive significant change in steem not too far from now. As for @ocdb, they're doing an amazing job and empowering them to do more is huge. I really see you blowing up returns on investment when we start witnessing the bull soon. Thanks for the huge belief in Steem.
This is funny, because I believed so far that the selfishness and the greed of the people are ruining the Steem blockchain, but you made me change my mind (at least in some level) with this comment. However, I don't know where will this selfishness and greed lead the Steem blockchain, but I believe in the Steem blockchain. The Steem blockchain could be a very good place, it could change the world, especially if the people would support each other, and would not focus on growing their own accounts, but maybe the majority of the people are not grown up to it because of their selfishness and greed. We will see a few years later, I guess.
You sometimes gimme the feeling that one day you may purchase the whole damn liquid steem there is and power it just because you believe so much in this project. -Just like we do-
All we need is people with the same mindset man. Hats off for the delegation also. Great initiative
And enough fiat to invest...
I think greed sometimes can bring this positive attitude to new Steem
I also agree with you. new steem is very unusual compared to the old one. and I also spend more time viewing content on Steemit than on other social media. lots of great content during the new steem. such as content created by @paulmp. I spent a lot of time watching a lot of photos.
the new steem also added my enthusiasm to light the steem. in 1 month I often buy steem and turn it on. but I bought it in small quantities because I didn't have a lot of money. but I will continue to try, and always try.
Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying my posts, I'm enjoying creating them and interacting.

Not wait until STEEMhits $0.06?
Would be great if you could start posting or commenting.
Would really appreciate some upvote from you as a gesture of your kindness, thanks
You may find my posts "different" than what you usually find on Steemit... I have a Wild Imagination... It's about the U.S. Monetary Correction...

Steem on
Interesting. I used to use ocdb to boost my content and get a good ROI. However, I'm not a big fan of bots and have stopped using the bot service for quite some time. It is good they are going manual. I also hope others follow suit. I know curation teams like @wafrica take their cue. I'm so keen on building a strong African community on steem and I l feel the groups for that already exist, they just need to be revamped. A lot of passionate people on here I think desire.
I'm also buying steem as well, although in smaller quantity, most of which I'm investing in steemmonster. I've bought close $200 worth of steem in September and I hope to keep the momentum going. The goal is to get my steem portfolio to $1000 before the year runs out.
I as well powered up when the price was high and even now when is low. Why...? Because I believe in the project, but more in the people and the communities from here. And when there is so much involvement around in the end things will get right.
