Steem Staking Smart Contract Explanation
In order to earn the staking interest, you must utilize a two step, smart contract mediated process; First Powering Up powering up your Steem to Steem Power and Second Delegating your Steem Power to the account Steem-Staking. Powering Up changes your Cryptocurrency from liquid Steem to illiquid Steem Power. Delegation means you delegate to Steem Staking the use of the Steem Power, but the actual Steem never leaves your account. Because your Steem is never moved, it remains in your account, under your complete control. A longer explanation is below.

You feel vulnerability, but with Steem Staking you never feel vulnerable because your money never leaves your possession. Because with Steem Staking your Steem never leaves your wallet. Your capitol is never at risk from this investment.
