This is an awesome read! So SP is important. So do I lose SP by voting? I am not quite sure how the concept works around powering down or upvoting on peoples post.

The whole concept of steemit is to be active, but people want upvotes. Should I just hold off on upvotes and just focus on creating content and commenting? I know these are broad questions but two sections that require "powering down" confuse me greately.

I want to be one of the top accounts on here. I appreciate anyone who can input on this subject. Thanks so much!
