RE: Food for thought #18 - All current Steemians are whales and here is why!

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm curious though, when do they take away the delegated power? I still have my delegated power and I have much more SP than what they initially delegated me... Is the delegation forever? I thought it was for people who were still very new... I'd prefer in-delegate what little bit that they gave me so some of these people with zero cent upvotes can have a 1 cent upvote! Lol 😂

Sort:  

The initial purpose was so that people could power down all that they have earned on the platform without losing access to their account.

There is a minimum amount of Steem required called bandwidth which is allocated to each user so that they can start on the platform.

Zero SP = Zero bandwidth to access your wallet.

The day they take the delegation away, we will need to be very careful with power down!
