is the monetization any different than the Federal Reserve of the USA printing magical money in the 1920's, and then hiring you to clean up dirt from the streets in exchange for said magical monies? Then you can use those magic monies to trade with other Americans! :D

Thanks for the link I was hesitant to power up reading that it would take 2 years to power down. I like the 3 month option better and plan to power up as often as I can! Fairly new here but I'm in for the long haul!

is this what it is now? 3 months? because i'm seeing on mine that it says the same (2 years,104 payments)

Yes 3 months, check again. You can power down by going to your wallet and clicking the little gray down arrow next to Steem Power and then choose Power Down
