A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new ~Albert Einstein.
What up STEEMAINS, It's one of those late night posts and wanted to do a quick post on how I made a simple mistake that cost me hundreds of dollars. 🤦🏼♂️
Earlier Today, I was on DTUBE and decided to do a video post just to switch it up a bit. DTUBE was kinda confusing at first but I got my way through it.
After a whole hour of learning it and uploading my video with some content, I thought everything looked good and instantly hit the published button. 👨🏼💻
A few minutes later, I realized that I accidentally clicked on "100% Power Up" which was a huge mistake! I noticed a comment from @runicar stating "Bro, are you using 100% power up!" OOPS!
There are lots of new people coming onto the platform the last several weeks that are doing the same mistake I did as a 7 month vet of Steemit 🤣
Too all the new people out there, never power up 100% when you see SBD over $1.00, especially when SBD is over $10+. The reason why is because you can sell your SBD higher on an exchange and buy more Steem with it. Be sure to use 50/50 on all your posts! 💰
So there it is, I just realized that I probably lost over $300 worth of SBD on my previous post. It's no big deal as I see it as a learning experience, don't ever rush through things and make sure double check every post 🙇🏼
I'm going to take the positive road on this, at least I'll be getting some more "Steem Power" to upvotes my fellow Steemians a little bit more 🤑
With that being said, its been a fantastic month for Steem and Steemit alone. The cryptocurrency markets are real hot right now and lots are making more money than ever before.
It's so freakin' awesome to see SBD above $10 + because we all love making more money! So until next time, Keep on Stackin! 💞
P.S. For those who are interested in following my "Daily Activities" that I do in very "short form". Follow me here: @charles-fuchs.
You powered up 100% Rookie mistake stacking:) I'll upvote it just compensate a little.

at least, because of your mistake @stackin, you can write this post.... and at the time of this writing you have received $ 78 upvoted and growing ...... lol :) So, you don't lose that much :) But the most important thing is because of your mistake, you enlighten me (and maybe other hundreds of steemian) which is bad on math not to make the same mistake..... thus you save our thousands of dollars steem rewards opportunity on our future posts !

Hey bro don't feel bad. I recently made a post and uploaded from a phone app not realizing that my fat finger had inadvertently hit DECLINE PAYOUT. Now I always double check so it is a lesson well learned. My minnow post wasn't even worth 1% of what you lost but every little bit counts especially for the little guy!

Your not alone on this.
Fortnight ago I made a terrible mistake.
I took 2.5 sbd and instead of either sending to the exchange for conversion or selling it at steemit.com internal market, I simply used the internal conversion which gave me just 1.41 steem.
The price of steem was around 1.41 whilst that of sbd is around 12.91.
Worked had to earn that I was hoping I could earn more to power as well as buy a new phone since the current phone I'm using drains within 2 hours on 3g Network whilst on 2g to load a page could take forever.
That very hope of owning (buying) a new phone any time soon was simply dashed.
So @stackin I don't between yours and mine which is worst?
But in all I have learnt my steemit life lesson though in terrible way

It's amazing how many times we need to repeat these things cause there's so many details. Good we stay together and remind and play safe.
Your mistake led to something to share with other people. A $300 lesson turned into an experience to share with your readers. In turn this saves potentially $$$ to everyone in the long run.
