# I'm torn...
As a member of Empowr's Advisory Board - [link here](https://secure.empowr.com/socnet/empowrsisu.aspx?View=Advisors) and you can see me and the rest of the Advisory Board - I'm invested in the success of the launch. But, as a long-time(ish) Steemian (a year ago or so - more of a veteran than some, more like a newbie to others), I keep coming back to comparisons between the two.

So I thought I'd break down some of the differences I'm seeing - if you're reading this and you've visited [empowr](http://empowr.com), let me know if you agree.

# First...The Price

I'm not yet there when it comes to understanding where the price of empowr - EMPR - will land once it's traded a little more regularly. In reality, a week probably isn't enough time to arrive at a stable price point...but, if you take somewhere in between the bid and ask, you'll come to the conclusion that $0.37 US is the price. (*$639.09 US for 1 ETH, multiplied by .00058 ETH, which is midway between bid and ask of the above price.*)

# And Price Doesn't Matter, Really...

Because, at this point, I'm all about figuring out how empowr can best be used "in the wild." And that's where I'm still kinda lost - in all honesty - because...

**There's not as much of a premium on good content as there is on Steemit.**

Case in point: this post...

This post got 68 likes, and it was just an affiliate link for another crypto. No real value there.

**It's all about likes and comments and "closing the loop" on empowr.**

That's right, just click the like button and/or comment on someone's post, and there you are. Not much else to it.

**Surge earnings are nice.**

I just got an alert via email, and took part in a "surge earnings" campaign; I got 9 empowr coins for watching an instructional video.

Not really...

But this is quite interesting...I've been on the site for a couple months and am finally starting to reap benefits. We'll just have to see if I can get those benefits translated into actual coins that I can turn into actual money.
