Today is a good day my friends. My vote is now worth 0.02 cents. Woohoo! I don't know about you but that makes me excited!
A higher value vote means more rewards for you too so get excited people. I've traded my STEEM DOLLARS for STEEM POWER for the very first time. And now I have enough power to make my vote worth more. If you’d like to do the same and you’re not sure how, please do read on.
This is not financial advice. Please make up your own mind as to whether this is a suitable decision for your circumstances. Also, it takes 13 weeks to power down so please keep that in mind.
How do I convert Steem Dollars to Steem?
See that 3 lined menu button up the top? On the right. Next to your profile picture. Yeah that's it. Click that.
In the drop down menu, select Currency Market.
It will take you to a screen that looks like this:
Under BUY STEEM in the PRICE section, enter the price you would like to pay. You can either select the lowest asking price or enter a price manually if you'd prefer.
The AMOUNT section will automatically fill once you've entered information into the TOTAL box so skip that.
In the TOTAL box, enter how many STEEM DOLLARS you'd like to sell. You can choose your entire SBD balance by clicking the available green text or again, you can enter it manually.
Click BUY STEEM and the below screen will appear:
- To finalise the transaction, click OK.
If you chose the lowest asking price option, you should see the funds in your wallet instantly. If you entered the price manually, you will have to wait until someone accepts your order. Once the funds are available in your wallet, you can then power up!
How do I convert Steem into Steem Power I hear you ask??
In your wallet, click the drop down arrow next to your STEEM balance.
Select POWER UP.
In the AMOUNT field, enter the amount of STEEM you'd like to spend. To use your entire balance, click the blue balance text.
In the TO field, enter your username, and select OK.
- Voilà - you're done.
With all the noise going on right now, it's easy to get caught up and fed up. Earlier today, I felt disheartened with all the drama. However, I've decided to change my mindset to a more positive one. I'm excited by the possibilites and the future of Steemit - it's the reason I've powered up. I have no idea whether it's the right move or not, but I'm in it for the long run so it suits me just fine.
Steem on fellow Steemians - to the moon!
