Well written @lukebrn! One thing for readers to note is that 'STEEM Blockchain is very likely to do great in the future, but early adopters can only do great if we start doing the right things now'.
Remember people, powering up is a huge investment opportunity for early adopters to leverage on future opportunities when the value of STEEM rises. Would you rather cash out $6/STEEM today or reinvest it into SP to earn more SBD/upvote, then cash out $100/STEEM in the next few years?
Thanks Aaron! Yes I agree, that is a great point to add. I'd rather reinvest in SP for sure, but I do understand that some people may need the money now, which is fine by me!
Yup, it all depends on context @lukebrn
