@therealwolf "You're not forced to power-up the Steem" we are in fact forced to power up when claiming rewards. Even if you pick the 50/50 option , a portion will always go to steempower, which when claimed is powered up and locked up for 13 months.

Oh no! You're getting free money, which is locked for 13 months? Boy oh boy, how unfair is that?
@therealwolf wow, why so confrontational ? I was simply correcting your incorrect statement that we are "not forced to power up". We are in fact forced by default by the claiming rewards function, but I am not at all complaining. Please take a deep breath and calmly understand I am not attacking you or complaining about it. Just stating the facts. Also, it is not "FREE Money". You must pay for a device to post with, pay for the electricity to power that device, pay for an internet connection if you can't find free wifi and also spend your time to post and interact and as they say "time is money". But thank you for at least replying. Also, I wrote a post about stolen keys floating around this blockchain if you care to read my blog and find a solution for it. Have a wonderful day buddy. I'm send you some positive energy, I can tell you are passionate about this blockchain.
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).
