RE: Am I missing something? Why not always be powering down your SP?
You're not gaining an interest, you hold the same number of Vests. It's just that the value of each Vest is increasing, hence your SP appears increases.
As to why you should not Power Down - you'll lose your Vests which went out that week, which could be much more valuable in the future as the platform grows. And also, Steem Power, and your influence in the community.
Why can you not just put them back into SP after that one week period if you want? How much loss are we talking about if you do that? Very little, I would think.
But what's the point of doing that? Might as well not Power Down if it's your goal to put it back in! But I get your point.
My point is that there is very little reason not to power down given the opportunities and options presented, since you can just plow the Steem you just got paid right back into the system if the other 2 options don't interest you.
If you are committed to the platform, there's no point powering down. But yes, if you are undecided, it makes sense.
