Well personally I have never powered down, have no plan to so I would say no! I wish to continue to add value behind my curation and development of networking through interaction and votes.

Those accounts powering down must have a large amount of power already thus generate a large reward, after a certain point of investment powering down can be sustainable while using those rewards for projects. I hope to get to that point with the @OneLoveDTube account but currently it’s still only a small amount of reward thus I continue to power up everything unless absolutely necessary such as funding our IPFS Node.

As for using it to invest into SteemMonsters booster packs, that is actually a good idea IMO but remember it takes 7 weeks to power down completely. I know I feel the same about taking the gamble on cards, one lucky draw could pay for everything plus profit and it adds to the Steemit community rather then taking it out for say server hosting.

Now for vesting on low price vs high I’m not certain that makes a difference unless your making a purchase, low price higher coin count. If you have SBD on the other hand which should be pegged to a dollar exchanging for Steem while price is low will relate to a higher coin count in Steem when price goes up but I tend to stay away from playing the market myself. I use SBD for votes gaining visibility at usually a profit plus 50% comes back as SP, power up at a profit I call it!

Possibly people could be powering down to play the market or use the liquid Steem for votes? It would just return as profit to their account from votes and then continue the cycle all over again!

Thanks for the AMA idea man, I would most likely not have embraced the AMA theme had you not started off with the question you did! Your still the inspiration behind it and I am glad you have participated again for this one, another good question!
