My statement wasn't incorrect as I was referring to potential Steem investments that you bought in liquid form. You're not forced to buy those as Steempower (vesting shares), rather you usually buy it in liquid form. It's a free choice to power it up. Now I do see the problem where in order to participate on Steem, you have the 13 weeks powerdown period. But I don't think it makes sense to go the quick-and-dirty road and reduce it simply, without giving people an option to decide how long they want to stake STEEM.
Earning Steem however via the reward pool should have an even longer power-down-period IMO.
Last but not least, good post you wrote.
ok, thank you for clarification and thank you for reading my post (I gave 100% rewards away so I am not trying to make anything on it, just get some attention to someone like you so you know that it is happening).
