Inconvenient? You? Jamás! Right now, I don't see Steem going up anytime soon. There are several reasons for that, but I won't bore you with the details. I powered up a bunch of steem, but for me it is play money. I had powered down about 1700 steem and day traded altcoins with that until it turned over about 5 times and what I have in Steem now is part of that, I just brought it back to where it came from. (kind of..)

For you it depends on what you want. If you want a large audience it is not easy to achieve that here and other sites like wordpress and such may work out better. That being said, I'd love to keep you here because this platform needs a few writers with some substance, like yourself. You could become part of a community of writers, but they would expect you to power up and some return votes. I never got into that, not because I wasn't invited, but I don't want to be stuck reading the same people all the time ( yeah right, what am I doing now right?). If you want I can power up some more Steem and delegate the SP to you so you'd have more wiggle room without tying down your own stake. This would also give you the time to figure out if you like having the additional SP or if it leaves you not caring either way. I do have to tell you that if you have no plans for cashing out, you may as well power up. For one it's safer, if your account should get hacked it would take 13 weeks for them to take your steem giving you time to recover your account before they get it all.

As to making money trading crypto, there are a number of things you can do and strategies you can follow that would suit your needs and not bore you to death watching numbers all day long. When you are ready to discus that, please hit me up.
