I get you...but every minnow's motivation at first is making some money. He gets frustrated if his effort is not yielding any.
After the person has been fully initiated into the system, then he starts thinking of building some power.
I guess I am selfishly thinking from a minnow's perspectie or my own perspective. Steem is the real deal but Steem Power grows faster with a good SBD to steem/sp ratio.
