The thing I´m struggling with at the moment is, that I´d like to spread the wealth too, while keeping my VP up at the same time. It´s hard to find the right balance here. Also there is this contradiction of wanting to support newbies, while knowing that upvoting a newbie post most likely doesn´t give you any curation award at all and therefore slowing down ones own growth (and future potential to spread the wealth further). So yes, there are some upward spirals here, but as with everything in life, they are part of the yin/yang circle.... which brings up some ideas for my next post I want to write, that will be called "The TAO of Steemit" ;) Thanks for the inspiration :D

Upovted just for "The TAO if Steemit".
Run that by @wwf...I bet he would have amazing insight into that.
ha Thanks, that´s lovely. I may make this a series like my "Trade like a Crypto Monk" articles, but since I still have a daytime job and these articles take quite some time to write (...of course you know this...) it won´t happen before friday - ideas already coming in.... Thanks again for your daily inspiration! :)
Yes I know it and I work around it as much as I can....in fact, I am kind of over my job but hanging in for a little while longer.
I have to write a post at night to have it ready for the morning....so I can send it out first thing before leaving to go to work.
Soon we will all be full time Steemians.
I still have not figured this out yet. So when you up vote someone you lose steem power? And in order to power back up you have to use your steem? Also is there a bar to move your steem power to a certain percentage? Probably dumb questions but I thought I would ask any ways...
You don´t lose Steem Power but Voting Power. SP is your liquid Steem "powered up" and bound to Steemit for at least 3 months and is the basis for how much your votes are worth. Voting Power is decreases by each vote and replenishes itself over time - you get a slider to choose your VP after you got a certain SP value. If you look, there are many articles for newbies here on Steemit, that explain these things way better. :)
