Second Power Up of the Day #SPUDX here we come

avatar
(Edited)

Congratulations to everyone that powered up today to help keep steem a decentralized blockchain. I know many of you bought steem and many of you powered up liquid steem you had lying around. My votes not worth loads but if you powered up today, drop a comment below and I will upvote it to show my support.

Today I did two power-ups. Once on my business account @theexcelclub which I had posted about earlier today. If you missed that post you can check it out here

In that post, I did a call out to buy steem with cash in PayPal. A big shout out and thank you to @abh12345 for being the middle man on this. Steem and funds were sent safely and both parties were happy. I helped to liquefy funds needed to pay for deposits on DTube Forum while gaining steem for myself to Power Up.

4333 steem powered up to this account today

Total steem powered up today 6959

If you were at the town hall this evening you know what you have to do, take your steem and sbd off the exchanges, claim all your rewards, power up, vote for steem community witnesses and keep making noise on social.

See you all tomorrow, its been a wild day today.

The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses. If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking here to help restore the decentralization of Steem.

I had started a Power Down... but I canceled it today. Nice to see 4 of our Witnesses on top already!

I was only Powering Down because I was scared about the future of the Network. I hope I don't have to restart it.

@paulag don't forget there's alot of potential steempower on steemengine in all of the tokens. everyone can cash those in to increase steempower since it's difficult to get any steem into the blockchain from exchanges

"there's alot of potential steempower on steemengine in all of the tokens"

this is true, I must check mine myself. Although I don't think token owners want to see their steem based token drained to 0.

they don't have to necessarily drain to zero but they can at least get a small boost in steempower by cashing in some

Also, some of the witnesses we are supposed to be voting for are powering down. Don't we also need their steempower as well? Seems like they should stop their power downs and use their full steempower as well.

A proper cynic might suggest that they are getting what they want without investing their own effort. Simultaneously encouraging other people to lock up their STEEM in SP (increasing the value of STEEM in the market and on exchanges by reducing its availability) while converting their SP into now more valuable STEEM?

The opportunist in me really wishes I could get in on some of that business.

All in all I got over 1,000 steem powered up and a bunch of witness votes.

The 100 steem transfer from binance was just to see if it would go through. Some reported that transfers in the thousands of steem were being held up.

Everyone reading this... Right now, for a short time only, we have the ability to do a "short squeez" of sorts on the exchanges and send the price of steem to the moon!

I plan on withdrawing much more soon.

Powered up for a very, very meager amount (~60), but it's there, the votes are cast, and as someone who stepped away and came back to find the shitstorm, I hope it's not too late...

I just really wish I would've been in the fight much earlier. I really would hate to see the very spirit of what was trying to be accomplished diminished and corrupted by the sort of mentality that brought about the need for it to exist in the first place.

I powered up too! Just had to. Even if it's only a small amount I had hoped others were doing the same and together we could make a difference.

The fight is far from over but I'm so proud of us all. Thanks for powering up Paula ❤

I have to get some for myself as well.

It really does not matter how much you are moving from the exchanges, AS LONG you MOVE it! The important factor being addressed here is that exchanges should not be empowered to use our funds to "act" in our behalf. And that is only up to you all to show what you want for STEEM. Let's get this done people!
