I'm currently packing my bags and it's a self imposed nightmare.

The constant feeling of forgetting something is a thing I have never been able to shake.

It's frustrating me a little bit because it's so irrational.

What can I possible forget that I can't acquire in London?

One of the biggest cities in the world!

All I basically need is my ticket, credit card and phone.

The rest is optional.

Thinking about it bit more I got struck by a cool thought.

Like Steemians that travel the world, with just a phone, a Wirex card and some Steempower.

Steempower to empower your blogging efforts and generate Steem/SMT's. *(The more you have the easier this will be.)*.

A phone to make content with through cool mobile apps like Steepshot, Appics, Esteem and Partiko.

And a Wirex card to spend the earned STEEM that you converted for BTC through @blocktrades to pay for things.

Steempower plays a key roll here as well as the STEEM price.

It's so easy to see.

Steempower dictates how much Steem you can generate on average (stability factor) and the price dictates how much generated STEEM you will need in a day.

The higher the STEEM price the less Steempower you need.

The lower the STEEM price the more Steempower you need.

Or in numbers:

When Steem is $1000 and you have 1000SP you can generate 0,5 STEEM a day worth $500 a day.

When Steem is $1,40 (like today) and you have 1000SP you can generate 1 STEEM a day worth $0,70.

The balance will be different from person to person but I think it's a cool thought.

It's also easy to see that in the first example 1000SP is more than enough but in the second it's not for most.

It's one of the reasons I worked so hard to acquire Steempower.

Not for when the price goes up but for when the price goes lower.

And I know it takes a bit faith. (and nerves of steel, lol!)

But the ability to generate Steem makes Steempower one of the most powerful tokens in crypto in existence for me.

And once this thought got engrained in my head powering down became the one thing I knew I wanted to avoid at all costs.

Personally, I see it as the motor towards freedom and it makes it worth all the risk for me.
