Yeah I don't get the negative stigma of cashing out some of what you earned on here? Some ppl make it seem like the platform will collapse or you're doing something wrong by realising some of your rewards and not powering it all up..you earned it so do as you like. Many of us know how much of yourself you've put into Steemit and you can damn well pay yourself for your work girlfriend! I split my earned rewards, some goes into my Steempower and the SBDs I split buying other cryptos and physical metals. I'm super grateful to have found Steemit and being able to earn real money for the time I put in here but I also believe in the platform and try to be a good ambassador and help others as much as I can. My first few months on here I gave most of my SBDs away even tho I wasn't even making that much, it just felt good. Congrats on the new house and being able to help support your family with what you're earning here, I think that's commendable and a testament to the power of the platform and definitely not a bad thing👍😎 You'll always have my vote on every post B1
I love you boo, you've been the best mate ever on here and I completely appreciate your support all these months.
I get the stigma and I don't.
For me, being in SteemPh Core, I feel I have more responsibilities than the average Steemian. A nation to support with my upvotes. I know the more I cash out instead of powering up is less value on my upvotes for the people who need it more than I do.
I feel the guilt bro. But right now I don't have much of a choice. Well I do. I can go back to my business and begin trading again. I've got people waiting for me there too.
So I either gotta hustle harder on here or give it up.
