Still working on this bit of info, too... okay... so I THINK I understand and/or like your way of wording this?
I have been buying Steem recently to increase my vote, which only goes to others.
So... Do I have this? Esentially, I would buy Steem... and convert it to SteemPower? In order to enhance my influence so that I can boost OTHERs? (Im totally okay with this, btw, I love community support - plus it always comes back around). Theoretically, I could just get enough SP so that I could make my own posts and collect, but if I pour INTO SP, it's so that I can support others?
Not totally sure what you are saying, but I'm not currently looking to take Steem out, so what I make is not that important. I do want the platform to succeed and that means encouraging people to keep using it. I'm not going to miss the small amounts I spend on Steem.
