I am happy to say that my voting power went up today. Even with a newbie like me that doesn't understand everything yet, it's still growing and I am making about $45 per post.
But here are my questions that maybe some of you can answer for me and BENEFIT ALL OTHER NEWBIES ALSO. Keep in mind I am a visual, artistic learner so keep it simple with the tech talk for me, please.
Did my power become more because I made money on posts?
If I keep upvoting do I then lose that power?
The dollar amount I see on my posts, is that US dollar value? Or steem dollar value? Or bitcoin dollar value? What is the rate between steem=bitcoin=US$?
When I figure out how to transfer my wallet into my actual bank account is that "powering down" as they say? And how does that affect my steem power. Is that like starting over?
And how does the percentage of the $on my post get shared with those whom have upvoted? Is it weighted to their power?
Ok, that's enough questions for now. Maybe you can help and share your wisdom and insight with us newby, non-techies.
Thanks for any comments below!
