I actually didn't know this. Since I won't use bittrex anymore, I've been waiting for Binance or smaller exchange I use to add it. As soon as holiday spending is over I'll throw $150 in .

I'm sorry, I'm getting confused again... you can buy Steem and Steempower in Blocktrades? Steempower is useful for this platform right? Steem is just to trade as a cryptocurrency?

Steem Power is just steem locked onto your account. You can only convert it back into steem slowly over the course of several weeks. So its a commitment to the platform, and thus the one that affects your upvoting power.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Okay, that was the missing piece! Thank you so much, that actually really helps it all click into place now. I actually really like that concept, it stops people just trading Steem in and out of the platform on price action movements.

No problem!
