Thanks @teutonium! Yes, the influx of big youtubers, namely the Hodgetwins, has me really excited about the potential for large influencers to move over here spread the word about the amazing power of Steem as a platform for all media - video, audio, written, etc.
The thing that I love so much about buying steem power is that your earnings will scale with the amount of steem power you buy. So if you're posting/commenting often on Steemit, then increasing your SP will allow you to earn more from the same amount of efforts. That's just my opinion though. I do like to stay diversified in cryptos, but Steem is my largest holding.
I still have to check out the Steemstem community, I've heard a lot about it but haven't seen much on Steemit about it, do you have a link to a post or channel that I can get started with? I'd appreciate it! I also love the community on here in general. As the tagline goes: come for the rewards, stay for the community!
This is the SteemStem community discord https://discord.gg/UrCP5J4, we talk alot about science and everything science related, it's a great community, i found my home here and they have already helped me A LOT this last month
