Matter of powering up
Powering up is crucial for the long-term existence of steemit. It helps to keep the portal in the good condition, positively influence the Steem and SBD price, helps to distribute the money in a more decentralized and equal way. For the users, more SP means more influence on the platform, more visibility, and, above all, a chance for the bigger income by gaining curation rewards or earning on a delegation to the communities we choose.
I am trying to make power-ups since the very beginning. I'm on the platform for three months, so it's not a lot of time but yet I have already gained some SP and I am aiming to become a dolphin until December. I believe I will achieve it much faster though.
I like to keep some significant amount of SP to be able to reward posts I believe deserve the up-vote but I also am doing my best to delegate some of it to the communities I feel comfortable in and which helps me to grow.
My recent power-up
Today I have made the first power-up in this month, spending all my SBD, STEEM, and TRX savings. The sum was not very impressive, but significant. Remember that even making small power-ups, while made regularly, can help you to grow with time. Rethink how much money you need to withdraw to provide basics for you and your family (in my case it's 550 USD) and spend the extra income on SP, investing in your own future and increasing the sum of earned money in the following weeks.
Rejoining the community and first delegation
I have been a member of steemitfoods community but left it for few months to start my own project. I have decided to come back to share some recipes with others and to get inspired by the publications of other users from all around the world.
