About two weeks ago I wrote an article where I explained I was going to power down all my Steem and just cash it out, I would continue to write but not on a steady basis and certainly without any economic goals.

Well two weeks later I am expecting my second power down tomorrow morning, of course it isn't much as I was never able to have much more than 500 SP, but that's what I have and that's what I expect to get.

I explained my reasons in this article https://steemit.com/steemit/@gduran/powering-down all of them were good reasons then and they are even better now.

Steem's price is down, could go up probably will go down, I am getting exactly 3 votes per post my own and two votes from two other people who in reality don't add exactly 1 cent to my reward, so actually I am making 5 cents per post, except when I am able to get a minnow support vote and then I get 15 cents, so economically it makes no sense, I can't even say I am getting views but not up votes because my posts are not quality posts, because the most views I get are about 6.

So, yes I am powering down, and once I power down everything it is out of Steemit, I guess I got what I could out of the platform, but it will be time to leave in a few weeks.
