Help?

in steemit •  7 years ago 

So I’ve been looking over help for Steemit, and I found a lot of useful tips, but one thing that majorly confuses me is the Steem, Steem Power and the other thing (I can’t remember what it’s called). Would anyone be so kind as to help explain to me what these are, and how to use them to help the Steemit community?

Thats basically how you get paid is with those currency's. You can down power your Steem for SBD that are currently worth more, but you loose Steem power or the ability to upvote for Steem.

I was checking that out. It said I had .500 steem power I believe. So I shouldn’t mess around with that?

you want that up to 500 steem power asap

How do I do that? I checked the marketplace thing for trading Steem for SteemPower, but it’s not letting me. Do I have to wait a couple days before I get anything to start that with?

Wonder if we have to buy in to at first ??

After more research, apparently we get the steem after 3.5 (I think) days.
