Why should I power up and not just cash out?

like a retweet function? Great idea.
Yes, exactly. The benefits whilst in Beta phase, I feel, would far outweigh the potential additional costs. "Word-of-mouth" recommendations are still the best imo.
-1- Everyone has different priorities. Some may want to power up and increase their voting influence and curation income and some may want to cash out. It is strictly a personal choice.
-2- Blogging adds value. Commenting adds value. Upvoting (as intended - in the form of spotting good content fast) adds value. If Sharing a link is found to add value, it will probably be implemented as a function and incentivized.
You should power up because when you do, you 're ensuring the long term health of Steem and for your commitment, you're rewarded more than just holding Steem or cashing out.
You 're rewarded for sharing. When you share your unique and original content, you're rewarded in terms of upvotes(payout) the same way you reward others when you upvote their posts.
