after HF 0.16 a lot of people powered down but didn't sell. Powering up is for your surplus, and if you want to try and play the curation game. I just powered down so that I knew I had enough for the most expensive thing I would want to spend money on suddenly (a trip back east to slav-land) plus a little extra incase, and to be able to power down more. I didn't want to lose too much of my influence on the forum just yet.

But next week, and again every month for a while, I will be powering up quite a lot that I am receiving in my bank account and want to save.
