The platform gives all new members some steem power when they join new in order for them to be able to vote and be relevant. However as time goes, you start being independent and grow your own steem power

haha this I know ! But what I was meaning was that after hard fork 19 I had a certain amount of money in steem power / in the brackets under my other steem power money with a plus sign ! Like this ( + 12345.00 ) or whatever the amount was , I don't remember , but that's all gone now and only my original money after powering down is there . I have no idea what this bracketed money is or was ! My son has some too !?!?

is the steem power delegated to the account...I think for a certain period of time.

I have no idea !? I think so , falling asleep , good night ! 😴😴😴

sleep well
