Full disclosure: I am a Steemit newbie. I've only been here for about a week. Over the course of that week I have had a couple people gift me some SBD and have also earned some SBD as rewards as well.
Today looking at the internal market I see that the price of STEEM is fluctuating in the $1.20's. Is this not the best time to power up? Most of last week STEEM was around $2.00 or more, and I see no reason that it would not return to that level. And I am long term bullish on the value of STEEM.
I've already gone ahead and done this. I've converted all of my SBD (which wasn't much) into STEEM. I consider this to be investing in myself.
I just wanted someone more experienced than me to confirm that this is a good strategy.
