I can only tell you what I do.
Since I joined Steemit, I have bought STEEM, my last batch was at about $2. Every steem or Steem Dollar I acquired resulted in powering up. I have no taken one dime out since I started.
I believe we are going to see a massive explosion over the next year in this blockchain. Therefore every bit of SP helps. It increases your voting power which helps yourself and others.
Think of this site with 5 million people on it instead of 50,000...the reward pool will be spread among a lot more people, making your position that much higher.
Interesting. One more:
I read your other other article about Appics. If it is based in Steem technology or code, and (i guess) on Steem value... If that platform increases, the XAP increases, but also de Steem value?
Or two different things, different values, different platforms, and different outcomes?
The value of XAP isnt tied to STEEM in that sense. XAP can increase while STEEM remains stagnant. Pricing actions can take place in all different kinds of ways, which are hard to predict.
What will happen is that if Appics takes off, that will be more users and bandwidth on the system, meaning that STEEM is more valuable.
Yea! thanks man!
