This might sound cheesy, but I never choose the 100% payout option when I write a post and submit. I always choose the 50/50 option. Now most of you would presume that I need the money to pay my bills and convert the liquid steem to fiat, and you would have been correct, but with the cost of steem tumbling, I just power-up anyway!
Now you would think me crazy, but I do get a perverse pleasure in powering up which gives me the "warm fuzzy feeling" in my stomach. I feel power-full and in control because at today's prices, the amount of steem I get for my posts is large, and I literally drool when my SP jumps through the ranks whenever I power-up the other half of the payout!
This has made me decide that I shall continue to power-up for now, as steem is cheap, and if you read this post by @timcliff, you will notice that it is the mVest we should be looking at as investment for the long term, rather than letting our hearts sink along with the price of steem.
We have to make this work, we need to power-up as much as we can, and feel good and fuzzy about it!
So if any of you feel like this, welcome to the club, which does not exist yet. But it can (The Fuzzy Steemers Club?), so let me know in the comments!
