RE: 13 weeks for a full powerdown. Is it really attractive?
I don't mind it. The thing is that you have two parts to your wallet. If you like you can keep your steem as liquid. Or you can vest it to gain influence ala curation and voting power but the price you pay is the power down. It's a trade off is the best way of seeing it.
Having witnessed the original 104 weeks to power down I do much prefer this time frame :0)
I wouldn’t be able to support others as much as I wanted if I kept it in liquid form. And I would miss @abh12345’s lovely pies 😜
To be honest, I always keep some in liquid form on exchanges so I can trade it when there are big fluctuations in price.
I haven’t and I think, having your money frozen for 2 years must be kinda stressful.
Ps. For all of us who are here for a while these 13 weeks might seem normal. The question is: is it attractive for a newcomer/ possibly big investor?
It's just an option though. If you are a big investor you don't need to bother vesting at all. It's only worth it if, as you say, you want the benefits that vesting it brings. For me at least I think it's a plus but I remember when I used to think it was rubbish;
