Yep, a $1 Million in Steem Power should give you enough "interest" when curating, that you can live quite ok. And everything else what you earn from other endeavours is increasing the comfort level.

Can you elaborate on that please? You can leverage your steem coins to gain more influence here? Sorry, a lot to take it.

The SteemPower (which your STEEM transferred to your “Steem Saving Account” or “Power Up”) makes your upvotes more valuable. E.g., if I, with my meager 650 SteemPower, upvote someone’s post, it increases that post’s earning by 1 or 2 cents. If someone with much more SteemPower than I upvotes that same post, they can increase its value by a few bucks. Get it? Buy yourself some STEEM and then Power it Up. Your upvotes will be so much more valuable then and people will follow and upvote you, hoping that you will reciprocate. Easy, uh?

Sounds like a good amount.

How does one do that, out of curiosity? I'm new around here! :)
