So I see a lot of newcomers and generally new posts without the steemit logo next to their headline, which means people are electing to receive 50% SBD and 50% steem power. What I'm seeing is roughly 90% of new posts like this.
So my question is; do you not believe in Steemit as a platform? Do you do this because you are hedging against the risk of STEEM dropping under a dollar?
The reason I ask is because SBD is meant to be pegged to the dollar. Therefore you're limiting yourself to 50% of your profits to be around $1 X (no. SBD). STEEM, although recently going under a dollar have the potential to be 10-100X or as observed recently slightly under a dollar.
If you don't believe in Steemit as a platform, then why are you posting in the first place? And if you do believe in Steemit as a platform, why are you not maximizing your payouts in Steem Power?
I'm sure some people have different reasons if they're making several hundred dollars a day, but especially if you're a new user or trying to maximize your influence on the platform and help it and yourself grow, you should be 100% powering up.
POWER THAT SHIT UP!

Sound advice! I think people need to be better educated on this topic. Just went full Power Up:)!
Yeah you're right, some onboarding could be needed when people start on Steemit, took me a few days to realize a lot of things!
Thanks @lassep. This is new info to me. I will pay attention to it the next time I'll be posting. If everything runs smoothly today, I'll be making a fish-road-campers-trip over to vestlandet later today, bringing my steemit cam with me :)
Let me know so I can check it out!
...great article - I'm changing my default settings to 100% SteemOn. btw love the image, do we have permission to use it?
Good on you mate! What do you want to use the photo for?
I must be missing it. How do I make my default setting to 100%?
its an option on the bottom right when you go to write a post, make the selection there - hope this helps!
What I'm finding out is you don't necessarily want to do 100% power up all the time. You should pay attention to the price of SBD. Take a look at my post for details.

I stand corrected! Unless of course Steem Power is also over $2, then you'd still power up 100%. Essentially if SBDprice>Steemprice = 50/50, if Steemprice>SBDprice. Appreciate the comment.
There's no right side of your Steemprice>SBDprice.
