RE: The Big Steem Drop, Was It Good For Your Growth Rate?

[davemccoy]

haha... I understand... :)

ok you went from 15 SP 113 Days to 13.67 SP ... something must be a mistake. It shows you lost SP. The only way for that to happen is if you sold any or "powered down"... Did you do either of those?

actually it says 13.627 SP (+1.388 SP)

Thanks! Im here for the long haul. Two questions now: 1) why is staying at 15 doing good? and 2) what is the best MOO for acquiring Steem now? The process with the least friction? And which Steem? there seems to be more than one currency.

[davemccoy]

1. because you have whittled down the amount of SP you were loaned in the beginning to only 1.388... that means that you have earned the 13.627.... after the earn that other 1.388, then all the SP will be yours... The first time you told me, you didn't factor in the SP that was loaned to you. So I know it grew, I am not sure how much... but from now on I will.

The best way in my opinion is through comments on authors post... The more the better. Make them genuine and just be yourself and show your personality. Like this comment to me, it is a good comment because you are asking me for help and everyone always wants to help you here, plus I can tell you are trying too.

As for the difference between Steem and steem dollars and SP.... yes there are 3 different terms... The main way to look at it is this:

SP is steem (but invested in the system so it is locked up for 13 weeks)

so really there is just steem and steem dollars (SBD)... each trade separately. But both are worth money. You get both as an author. Usually more SBD that SP....

What most people do early is to convert their sbds to steem and then "power them up" to SP... it has the benefit of growing your account a bit faster. Later, you will use your SBDs to buy votes through the bots or join memberships services. Try to get to 30 SP and then let me know and I will go over the other options for you.

Thanks so much for taking the time here to explain it that way. I think I just got a lot closer to understanding! If you get the chance to answer (2) I am ready to buy into Steem as an investment and would just like to have the least amount of memberships and hops to make to do that!

[davemccoy]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about having the least amount of memberships... If you can explain I will be happy to give you more of my opinions and/or help!

Can I buy Steem directly somewhere or do i have to first set up a litecoin account and then transfer ETH/BTC to somewhere to get the Steem?

:) Yes, so that's 15 SP total. The SP in parenthesis stands for SP "delegated" to you (which was done by steemit itself when you opened your account) .

[davemccoy]

thanks for the assist @gjones15 :)

[gjones15]
