Everyone has a vote and every vote counts to decide where new SteemPower, SBD and Steem is distributed. When you are new you get a small amount of steem power, and are loaned or delegated some extra Steem Power to help you earn more rewards. Steem can be powered up into Steem Power which means to invest it in Steemit. When you hold Steem Power you have more influence and your upvote is worth more. When I started I only earned a little but now I earn more! Power up your Steem. Convert SBD SteemDollars into Steem (takes3days) then Power Up! New users are Minnows but Once you have 5000 Steem Power you become a dolphin. I am halfway there :) I want to help Steemians all around the world. Where are you from?
