Nah, don't power down unless you absolutely need to! Those who use Steem or SBD to speculate on price changes have them in liquid form. But it can be a risky task, and even experts lose when trading sometimes.

About my test account, that's simply a new account I created and I pretty much left it like that and test various things with it. When you have more than 500 SP as I do on my main account (and still being a plankton), it's easy to forget how it was when you had 15 SP delegated to you by steemit. That's what I try to keep more or less intact on the test account, so I won't forget how it feels to be a newcomer without deep pockets.

Lol it's going to be tempting to play with the exchange til I learn my lesson. Hodl the SBD til it's back to 8$ then get more steem :D
