EveryoneEveryone has reasons for powering down. Most are looking to get a good value for their STEEM when the price rises while some may need for other issues.
Looking at @penguinpablo steem weekly stats https://steemit.com/steemit/@penguinpablo/weekly-steem-stats-report-monday-september-3-2018
The average difference in power down was a negative value of 218,472 STEEM. As I said before. There are reasons for powering down and you can start a conversation with the user on why starting a power down.
Just as we have power down we also have users powering up. This shows that people still believe on the platform.
An average of 1,508,612 STEEM was powered up in the past week. This shows that there is nothing to be alarmed off. The users have their needs, hence the for a powerdown.
