WHY are you Powering DOWN when you should be Powering UP?

It is no secret, well maybe it is, that your Steem Power is your life blood here! Without it, your voting power means next to nothing! Yet I see so many people with less than 100 Steem Power POWERING DOWN! It makes no sense! If you have less than 10,000 Steem Power (SP) you should be powering UP as much as possible!

## Why does it matter? Shouldn't I cash out my rewards ASAP?
NO! By dedicating 100% of all your rewards to Powering UP you are building your influence on the platform! The more power you have will make you more money in the long term than constantly cashing out the tiny bits you earn in the near term!

## Conclusion
Power Up 100% all your posts, Power Up all your earned STEEM and purchase as much Steem Power as you can afford each week to directly increase your earnings here the easiest way possible! You aren't loosing your STEEM by powering UP you are simply making your voice matter more, thereby making you more money AND contributing more to the community!

Happy steeming hope this helps a few of you! Be sure to follow me, resteem this post, up vote (only when you are over 80% Voting Power) and follow my "group" #investingbydeej!

Once you have a lot of SP it may be good to cycle between powering up and powering down in case the market crashes again or in case you need to pay a bill or something maybe?
