RE: Holding STEEM POWER -- why it is good for you, and all of us too. (Commitment Rewards Explained)

...aka the reason for this post. We need to focus on it a bit more so people don't think that, ever. I was shocked too when I saw that innocent question.

(re:) Hopefully people will not hold it against me that I'm powering up by buying Steem Power.

    I cannot remember the source of the post, but they were talking about how great it was that @papa-pepper had supposedly never bought into his account and built it completely based off engagement and work here. The implication was that the author of the post wanted more people like that user and less people who simply bought SP.

      Shrug. I disagree, and it's unimportant to me.

      I've adjusted my reply to @everittdmickey on this very blog. That must have been where you read it.

      It now states:

      OOPS. I disagree. (I had previously said EXACTLY) -- was pressed for time and replied too quick.

      SteemPower is worthy of respect, because of the investment in the system, and potential to curate well.

      Whether it is bought or earned does not matter. You can invest time, or money. They are the same for SP and should be seen the same way when it comes to curation.

      Reputation, on the other hand, can only be earned. That is where it matters, and why @Papa-Pepper could be admired.

        Thanks! Yes, I'm still new here, so I don't want to step on any toes or do things that upset people. I really appreciate the advice from you long time veterans. A lot of SP is in my future.

        I love the security aspects of storing SP too. People can put their crypto profits in SP to protect them. That's a lot safer than having them on an exchange that can be hacked.

        Knowing my luck too, I'll lose a hardware wallet. haha

        P.S. It was not your post that I saw that about papa. It was an entirely different thread. They were against SP being bought, and the discussion was about SP, not reputation. If I find it, I will let you know. :)
