Yes, the more Steem you hold powered up the better. It increases your upvote value, gives you the ability to earn more when you upvote others, and in general gives your account more bandwidth to vote, comment, and for your voting power to re-charge quickly. Check out your account here if you haven’t already: https://steemd.com/@inprovision . You can see a lot of stats about your account and transactions. Steem was at $8 in the 2017 bull run. I think we will see some upward pressure to a dollar too going into the bitcoin halving but probably above $10 in the next bull run after the halving going into 2021. Welcome to Steem!
