Hey @kulkidzklubb you are using 100 % power up option and are missing out on a lot of profits. I did a detailed post explaining why. Please read this
DON'T USE 100% POWER UP - You Will Lose a Lot of Money
Thank me later ;)
Also for SMT steem connection. Every SMT must go through steem first and it raises the value of steem. I'm not sure how exactly it goes through steem and how they need steem for SMTs but they do and it raises the value of our currency/platform.
