What always surprises me is that the people who claim to need to live off of the earnings didn't have this option available to them even a few short months ago yet, now rely heavily upon it. That is a risk
Well i will admit to be in the category of this people, but i had no knowledge, i was barely 1 month old,but i have more knowledge and understanding now, i have more insight into about the platform and i have been able to know that for me to even benefit more, all my earnings need to be aimed at investment in the platform.
If you think that 1000 SP votes at about 19 cents currently (~1.90 a day) what does that 1000 vote at when prices are 10 times as high?
You don't know how much i want to get to that 1000sp so bad
Plus, earning and holding a little SP now creates more than voting power in the future, it creates a nest egg that can be liquidated if necessary. 100 Steem at 30 dollars is worth 3000 and if a dollar a day matters, that is enough for 8 years of mattering. A power down of a few SP can tie one over for a long time
This is financial freedom, if things are done well
