Ok I know I just posted and appear quite silly and ignorant. But that's okay, I'm learning. I realize I have to admit my ignorance before I can learn at times...generally, the crypto community at large is very helpful as we are all learning about this together. I'm fascinated how this platform works. I've moved the little remaining STEEM shares I purchased on BNB to my wallet here (15 Steem) and have Powered Up all of them. I realize that having them powered up gives me a greater presence and role in this community even though it also locks me in for 2 years before I can move back into STEEM tokens. That's okay, I'm a HODLer! Or a HODlem lol. I've added a few links below that I've come across which have helped me to better understand STEEM a little, I'm still super green though.
