![image](https://img.esteem.ws/oj1xbzad2y.jpg) Let's talk about the hardship in Steemit. I have been preserving my steem power at the level of 500sp most of the time since May this year(2018, recon this post will be stuck in block chain forever). I have also made a post about my delegations and why I do so. Previously, all those delegation has been related to charity and helping other minnows to create account and get on their feet. Some is about how I carefully select and invest into community other than @tipu which I use it to earn some SBD so I can use these SBD to vote for other people. > 首先我们来谈谈这个难取舍的决定。自从2018年五月开始我就已经保持我的影响力在500的范围一直不肯过份代理出去。原因是我要继续为我的读者点赞，还有一些我喜欢的写作者点赞。之前我已经写过了一篇文章是关于我代理的账号。一部分是用于开号给人，另一部分是投资在团体发展上面。除了踢铺是纯属为了赚一些 SBD 用来买赞给别人。特别是一些我觉得有价值的文章来奖励写作人。 https://steemit.com/teammalaysia/@davidke20/let-s-talk-about-steem-power-delegation ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/fjd7w0ae8d.jpg) Now this is a very harsh decision as I was always believing in keeping steem power to upvote others, and now it's like I'm slapping on my own face. I have only 700+ my own steem power, previously already delegated 250 to various accounts, for the reason spelled on the above paragraph. My motive to deploy another 250sp into @steem-ua is due to one single reason, hoping to get my upvote. Wait a minute. Isn't that contradicting myself? That's exactly what I'm struggling for! After the delegation, I am now left with 200sp, and by all means it makes my vote become 1¢. How is that benefit to my follower and the people I have been upvoting? The answer is absolutely negative I know. So I came to a conclusion, I will use some liquid steem and lease some SP from @minnowbooster and now I can utilize my own SP to delegate to @steem-ua, whilst I could maintain my vote value to my surrounding people. > 我之前已经一直在鼓励大家加强自己的影响力，给予自己支持的文章更大的点赞用作鼓励他人。当然，如果我现在代理了这么一大笔影响力出去，我还不是自我矛盾？我本来有大概七百多的影响力，已经代理了两百多给公益用途。现在如果再代理两百五去给 @steem-ua 那么剩下的两百点赞出来也只不过是1分，还不被人笑话？所以我也是挣扎了很久才有了这么一个决定。我用一些 Steem 来租借代理，保持我的点赞力。然后再代理给 @steem-ua 。这么一来，我还可以继续点赞我身边的人和继续支持点赞一些公益团体。 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/ve8fhtl6xw.jpg) Call me a liar! But trust me, I had never been withdrawing my Steem or SBD to exchange for a very long time! I am using this opportunity to increase my income, so I can power up faster and to upvote more for the people I care and also supporting others. I have one month time to prove I made the right decision and hopefully the amount of upvotes from @steem-ua able to cover my costs of leasing SP from @minnowbooster. > 你可以说我是骗子。但是你可以检查我的钱包，除了很久以前尝试过那一笔钱出来吃一顿饭，我已经很久没有将代币转去交易所了。我是一直在补强自己的影响力，利用点赞来鼓励和影响我身边的人。现在我已经申请了代理，希望@steem-ua 给我的点赞可以在一个月时间里面让我的收入可以平衡我的租金。 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/gim3847z2d.jpg) To the people I've been upvoting, do not worry! Your portion are still covered! To the #cn-malaysia community I've been supporting and growing, yes I can still support you with my tiny voting power. Do not lose faith in me! > 在下向我身边所有的朋友，我所支持的公益团体宣告，点赞照样有力！我一直支持和推广的马来西亚中文博客团体，公益照做。我的羊毛点赞力还是会继续为大家付出。千万要对我有信心！ ----- I would like to thank all my friends and family who has been supporting me.
