Why I Undelegated 5000 US Dollars!

Today I decided to undelegate 5200 dollars and to keep it as just free SP in my account to use for upvotes. The reason why I did this is because I have realized that people is power. That will say the faster we can stream value back to regular content creators the better. That will say it's mainly about quality relationships and quality communication across the Blockchain. So keeping cash locked up will be bad. We want it to be constantly flowing in the ecosystem. I have also been considering that giving liquid SBD to a content creator may be better than the 7 day payout they have to wait for. So they get payment the same day. Time is King...

I made this quick video for this article.

The major key why I undelegated is because I think that I will be a better quality curator than others. And that I really love the slider in percentage that you get when you have above 500 Steem Power. That will say I can slide the upvote value all the way down to 1%. I love the ability to be able to tweak the rewards that goes out to creators and commentors. I think currently that comments are undervalued and more curators in the comment section would really do an amazing job in spreading value around. I love when I find a 300 word quality comment. And if we can bring those higher up below an article the better.

I been thinking deeply if it's good to delegate to others to let them do the curation for you. But I now when deeply thought more about it realize that it takes too much of your power away. Your ability to reward amazing creators goes down. And I really want us to have more engagement in the comment section. I think that Smart Media Tokens will help a lot with that because it will allow more Tokens to be earned per platform. Clearly many Smart Tokens will not succeed but the ones who do will be worth super much.

I also realize that if you want a job well done you better do it all yourself or lead as an example. Since people need some role model to look up to and most people are not ready to take that position. We are creating a world where the central authority will be you if you want. This will give humans more freedom but they also have to take a bigger responsibility.

I think it looks so much better in your account when you don't delegate your power away. It looks like you are deeper invested in the platform. Soon I may invest another 7000 dollars into Steem Power. Since I really love Steem more than any other cryptocurrency. Since I can see how Steem can be like the new Google but when it comes to Value Exchange. For me using Steemit feels like using a private bank. I love how there are no fees on transactions and that it goes in 3 seconds.

This is currently better than any other platform out there. I think I will talk more about giving out micro rewards in another article. That is where we are going in the world. The ability to share micro rewards to super many people. In this way we can also spread our risk around so we don't put all eggs in 1 basket. A big problem with delegation has been that Steem holds that value for 7 days so it takes some serious time to get your SP back. But I will really love to have it all back again to be able to do some serious quality curation.

There are many niches out in this world. Right now we just have a few apps on the Steem Blockchain but in the future I think we will have thousands to satisfy various niches. For example I talked with @greencross how the Steem Blockchain will need a Techno niche platform. There are also music creators that would need a specific platform just for that like the quality work that @silentscreamer do. Curation just that can be a full time job.

It will take a very long time to trickle down value but it will start to happen more and more. Spreading value around to as many peoples hands as possibe. We humans operate in very slow ways compared to computers. But we can create amazing pieces of content once we are in a cool workflow. The Steem Blockchain has massively empowered me where I cannot live without this place. I can't imagine doing stuff outside of the Blockchain. Since it gives you so little value in comparison.

I really don't think blogging is what will make Steemit truly blow up. But I think the underlying payment system is what truly will 500x the value of Steem. For example when you can order a pizza using Steem via an online website. Or when large companies can creates invoices with SteemPay that developer @asbear created. I think we are just at the beginning of the: "Pointlessness of Money Era". Since I think the ability to earn money will just get easier as me move forward. All thanks to Technology.

I think we are moving towards a future where thousands of transactions will happen in real time going in and out for each human everyday. Tweaking where value should go. The ideal is that the value goes to real value creators. People that are doing very selfless actions. Some people have been very critical about the Blockchain space like @baronvonbitcoin latest article. But it's clearly a lack of perspective. This will take decades to evolve and become mainstream. But it will eventually happen because these services empowers you and gives you so much more value in return. Everyone is now becoming an investors and can analyze what projects they like and that seems legit.

Holding Steem Power is very cool because just by holding it you earn more every single second. But per year the Steem coin will become more rare, scarce and in demand. You need it for bandwidth on the Blockchain. That is why I will try to curate as much quality content to create the best win-win effect possible. And as I stated earlier I will mainly do it in the comment section. For me I want every piece of content to have 300 word articles below. Because they not only give massive value. But they also show that someone cared and did a massive selfless action. And it feels really good to reward that kind of things.

So in around early June all my Steem Power will be back and I will be able to curate tons of awesome stuff. For me the big thing I try to curate is interesting original ideas. Since we are moving up to 10 billion humans on Earth we need awesome ideas on how to change billions of humans life to the better.

I'm looking forward to some awesome developers to create the first Taxi service that you can order with Steem. And the first Food you can order online via Steem. But this will take some energy since that means Geeks needs to connect with real business owners. And there is lots of laws and stuff that may need to be fixed first. But eventually I will order a pizza with my Steem Dollar. And it's gonna taste amazing.
