I wanted to raise my Steem Power so I pretty much sold out of my Steem monsters cards, at last check just two left malric and hydra. i never really had time to get into the tourneys, and was losing a lot of interest, so I thought low steem value time, card values still up a bit, so ended with about 200+ steem powered up, and some given to my wife. So it worked out for me. If steem price goes up and card prices stay the same I can always try again.

The Downvote pool is something a few people want to implement. they think that having free downvotes more people would downvote excessive rewards and plagiarism, all I can see is the Stanford Prison Experiment repeated only on steem. There is already to much bullshit downvoting, all it will do is lead to more BS downvoting. But what ever, more annoying red little arrows.

It will just lead to more micro flag wars in my opinion, but I am not a big stake holder yet, I don't have an untouchable non flagable account like some people, so we will see what happens.
