To me at a time like this where SBD is so overvalued, I don't really understand the need to power down your account at all
I mean, shit happens where you might just need the money. If you're in unfortunate circumstances or out of work and on here, I can understand powering down for a few weeks if you need the money. I'll probably have to power down for a week or two within the coming months so I can afford to put a deposit down on an apartment since I have to move within the next 2-3 months.
I think for bigger people on here who are either big dolphins or whales, that's probably not the type of thing you'd have to worry about. So, I can understand why you'd view it like that. I always wonder if a person is leaving the platform/lost faith in it if they're powering down, so I think that's just something we automatically assume most of the time.
Yeah it was written while thinking of those really. There are of course many other reason to power down as well like wanting to sell at a potential upcoming top to buy back at the bottom, etc.
I figured it was, since I think most of all of the prominent/well known users on here are either a large dolphin or whale. I just was throwing it out there for people similar to my size and possibly the reasoning for their powering down and what not. I have quite a bit of hope in Steemit and would like to grow as much as possible, but sometimes things get pretty rough around here and I gotta use some of my power to get by for a few months. I'm sure a lot of people around 1.5-3k Steem power are in the same boat.
