Hi @merej99 firstly I would like to thank you for such a detailed post regarding Steemit wallet which was the first thing on my mind, the moment I joined this awesome community. I have a query regrading below point that you mentioned in your post:

“This is also why STEEM should not sit in your wallet for very long!
Either Power Up, Trade or Sell
because letting it sit there does absolutely nothing for you or the Steemit economy.”

I am 2-3 months into crypto investing and IMHO (In my honest opinion) I think Steem will play its role even while sitting in the wallet. Correct me if I am wrong but the price of your steem will keep fluctuating on the basis of rise or fall in its market price. For example, if you received steem when its price was $ 1.16 and after a month its market price rises to $ 2.5 this will also raise price of the STEEM sitting in your wallet because its market value has increased. You can simply transfer it to an exchange and sell it and its current high price.

Please share your opinion on my point above, thanks.
