I agree that it may not make sense to go below 1000 STEEM, but as I said, not only am I willing to put in own funds, but I am planning to do that almost every month, so even if I use a 1 week power down, my overall STEEM POWER will grow (it will also grow by itself anyway, due to the compound interest, even though at a slightly lower rate than it would with no power down at all).
