Hi sir im justs scrolling here and i see your reply . for you sir which is better to have more steem power or steem only?
it all depends on what your plans are. If you plan to keep your money here for at least a few months, then always turn it into STEEM POWER (that will give you more money as you use your upvote power). STEEM POWER is the way they decide how big you are and the theory behind it is they want to give the people that plan on being connected to the system for the longer term get the votes. So always power up your steem if you plan on not taking that money out of your account for at least 3 months. (I always power up as soon as I get it)
On the other hand, if you plan to take money out and sell your STEEM on the markets, then you can only sell it by it being in STEEM. Now if all of your money is in STEEM POWER (which mine is), then you can always "power down" if you want to take it out. What this will do is take your STEEM POWER and transfer it back to STEEM at the rate of 1/13th of your request each week for 13 weeks.
So to make it simple and easier, STEEM POWER is the same STEEM, but its just locked up so that you can only withdraw it at a rate of 1/13th a week over 13 weeks. So if you won't be taking your money out for awhile ALWAYS power up and increase your votes (it will earn you much more money and give you more influence with the community)
Did this help? And if you have any more questions, feel free to ask... I'm happy to help if I can.
Very interestingI was thinking that it will take 12 month to get money from steem power and transfer it back to steem. I am planing to stay here long :)
Then you should convert to STEEM POWER... it is only a 13 week process to power down and even then its 1/13th per week so you don't even have to wait a whole year.
I use the "currency market" they have here (in the menu bar on the upper right)... Just click on that and you put in the price you want to exchange at (it fluctuates between .35 and .40) and just put the total of your SBD (which it will tell you right under the box to input it)... then it will tell you how much STEEM you will buy with your SBD. Once your transaction fills, it will automatically add to your STEEM balance. Then just "power up" and put the amount of steem you have into steem power.
Sounds complicated, but its really not hard. I just checked and you will get around 75 STEEM, which when powered up will definitely improve your punch. If you want to do this, just let me know and I will check your account to make sure you did it right.
Or if you have any more questions, just let me know... Happy to help you...
Btw, fyi your account is worth almost $300 US dollars (I didn't know if you knew that)... You're doing real well and will keep growing fast if you keep it up.
From what I found 75 of Steem Power will give me 0.02 value for my vote. Is it correct?
I'm not sure of the exact break points, but I know at 28 we got .01 sometimes... So I would say its probably greater than .02 and less than .03 (they figure it exact...
I see.
Looks like a lot of people converting Steem Dollars to Steem Power "Steem delegation purchases disabled until current pre-orders are filled."
I don't know that route... What I do is to go to the currency market from the (menu tab) and sell my SP for STEEM... (they are currently thinly traded but I'd put my order in at .38 or less)... and then you just put the amount of SBD and it will tell you how much STEEM that will get you... You can test it and just don't hit the order button.. The reason I like that is that it is a "market" with buyers and seller and you can place prices that you feel are good.
Then once you get the STEEM, just "power up" and that will give you STEEM POWER. Its less than a second to do that and no restrictions.
I know there is another way that is different, I prefer to do it directly in the market as I showed so that I'm sure I'm getting a fair swap.
If you want me to look at anything or give you a photo explanation let me know. I'm going to be coming out with that next week anyways, so its no problem for me to show you in pictures.
Hope this helps... And given the fact that they reward you for being long term and getting increased voting strength, I'm all in on getting as much as possible into STEEM POWER.
ps... Not to throw too many things at you, but I'm currently also testing @bumper and that is also a way that you can "invest" your SBD into getting more velocity. You can see some of their programs they are running, and like I said I'm testing it myself, but if it works like I think it will, then they would be the best use of SBD at this time. If you would like to check on it, just go to their blog and you can read about it.. Also if you want to find out how my tests are going with them, I'm in Day 2 and I'll have a very good idea in a week.
Sorry for the long reply, but this is the topic that requires the most words to explain. :)
Let me know if I can help you in any way my fellow 2017 classmate :)
Thank you for the info.It is all sounds very interesting I will look in to it tomorrow. Happy New year!
cool... I'm going to sleep myself... Happy new year @marinaart
I will keep checking for your posts.
And I almost forgot, we are 2017 classmates! Its nice to meet you @jonnahmatias1016 :) Here is our class logo as a gift to you, happy graduation!!!
Nice to meet you too sir. Hope you can visit my posts. Cheers for 2018 classmates..
I will and I will keep in touch and you stay in touch too, always here to work along side you :)
Yeah I will @davemccoy please support my posts too. Likewise. You educate me some of the things that I dont know. Thank you
I am connected to you so no worries... But just so you know, it is best to not ask anyone to follow you or upvote on your posts. By doing so, it makes it look like you are desperate and not confident in your own content. I'm telling this to help you because asking actually makes people NOT vote for you when they normally would. And sometimes the big whales out there will "mute" you which means they will never give you a big vote. So asking for votes or follows just hurts you.
I have seen your stuff and can see your progress, you don't need to do that at all. You are still learning, but I can see that you have a good mind and work at it. That will come through and eventually pay off big for you.
I hope you take my suggestion as it is meant, it is trying to help you to succeed. I would like to see you do well and frankly I'm happy we connected and think we will work together on many things next year.
I hope this helps... and happy new year again! :)
Yes thank you so much to you my newly found friend here in steemit. Yes sir @davemccoy I am still learning and I will not do it again. Hmm it look like you are really a good mentor. I keep following on you sir for your posts it really helpful.
That's nice to hear and that's why I told you because I understood you didn't know that. I am happy that you will listen to me and I will do my best to help you when I see things to help you. You can also ask me questions any time, I'm happy to have you as a classmate and want to see you do well! So stay in touch and lets keep communicating and I think 2018 is going to be awesome for both of us! :)
Yeah thank classmates. Once I have confusions I will ask you then. Cheers for 2018.
and did my explanation on STEEM and STEEM POWER HELP? And do you understand what your "steem dollars" are? They are actually the ones that are highest in value (worth around US$8 or 400 PHP a piece)... And the same applies to them, if you plan on staying around awhile you can also really get big if you turn them into STEEM POWER. Its really not hard to do, so let me know if you need my help on that.
@davemccoy Thanks a lot for helping them understand the currencies of steemit! I actually understand them now, so I let them talk to you instead. Such great help! :)
haha. that's fine, I like it ;)
... And thank you for noticing and letting me know that you appreciated me helping them. That's a nice thing to do too :)
You have quite the page here with so many beautiful pictures, I was a little worried about how much our thread was taking up. I thought you'd stop me if you were bothered by it, but since you didn't I try to reply to every comment. :)
Thanks again @olaivart and glad we got connected here!
I am so sorry. I do not really mind you helping and taking up the thread. :) It's because of the holidays, I was really busy and could barely talk to people commenting and replying to my contest and other posts!
Happy new year!
ohhh no worries, I'm glad I could help... Anytime you get overwhelmed, just tag me to come help and if I'm around I'm happy to roll up my sleeves and help out! And happy new year to you too and lets have a fantastic 2018 my "teammate" :)
