I think it's important to note that when you say power up, you aren't talking about 100% power but rather keep the 50%/50% then convert your SBD to Steem in the internal market and then power up that STEEM.
As a NOOB it would be easy to get caught out on that.
And I've certainly taken a number of days to get my head around this for sure.
But even before reading this timely reminder I already made the decision to POWER UP! So Let's Do This!
