There are other ways to earn on Steem than speculating, dlease.io for example. As someone who isn't any good at trading, makes more sense for me to power up and take advantage of this investment option at circa 14% pa returns (higher previously), as an investor doesn't make sense to power up more and lock up for long periods, especially if one can lose out on STEEM hitting an ATH again and you miss that because your funds are all locked up.
