I wanted to let you know how well it went after following your advice. I still can't believe 5 minutes made that much of a difference! I did as you instructed, went to the Market and SOLD my SBD (I didn't have much). Within minutes that little red circle popped backed up with 4 new notifications. My account's value jumped up over $6, simply by selling the little bit of SBD I had, which not only helped me, but put the SBD back into the community instead of it being destroyed! I then went on to power-up, allowing for my up-votes to actually be worth a little.
Thanks Again!!!

I just read through more of the comments and would like to add a point to the "discussion" regarding long comments. I am fairly new here, so I tend to read articles much, much, more than I post. I never knew long comments were frowned upon. Seeing as how they do take up so much space, I can understand the point being made against them. As a newer Steemian though, I would like to add that I have learned a lot from comments alone. Steem.it is a very complex platform and there's not a good guide that explains everything. It's more of a learn as you go process and some of the longer comments have taught me quite a bit. In the future though, I will keep my comments shorter, simply because the amount of wasted space they take up :)

There's nothing wrong with long comments. Nonsense.
