Since being on Steemit, I've seen a few references regarding a 200% power up. I assumed it was a scam until being attracted to the "Italy" forum and a contest they were running. @girolamomarotta had posted an article regarding 200% power up and having encountered him on my anti-plagiarism campaign, considered him a source of information that I would read.
I've toyed between 50/50 and 100% Power up since joining and like the ease of the 100% power up as it avoids any need to trade. But... the difference in Steem Power if you take a little bit of time to trade in the market is significant.
I had suspected this to be the case and having read the explanation, I've slapped my forehead with an "oh yeah, that's obvious" moment. It all depends upon the price of the Steem Dollar of course and at some point, I'll calculate the price point at which 100% power up is best again (or I'll search the forums, I'm sure somebody smarter than me has already worked it out!)
So it might look like I'm reducing my support for Steem - I'm not. I'm simply optimising the rewards available with each post.
