So the value you have staked gives you a chance to be an influencer on the platform and help support other creators, but if you want to take advantage of your stake you can power down into liquid rewards and sell it on the market for Steem as you mentioned and power up your own account. We'll always support creators with SP as needed. If you need to cash that out, in theory, you could be giving a delegation of PORN tokens as a subsitute stake while you figure things out. If you are in the discord just hit up QA and he can help.
