Please keep in mind that the STEEM inflation rate is much lower now, but it is still there. The STEEM inflation rate is about the same as what you get in a bank.
However, with the price of STEEM increasing lately, this should give you a whole new reason to Power Up.
The big advantage to powering up is that you upvote counts more. This in turn also increases your potential curation reward.
While I may power down from time to time to balance my crypto-portfolio, I am HODL'ing STEEM Power right now.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
I’m starting to get the hang of Steem now. Thanks for the extra info.
