I think a lot of people in the crypto world are trading a lot of their coins on a regular level. Powering up your steem and therefore locking it down makes this impossible for 3 months so it is not very inviting for them.

As I am new and very unexperienced still, in steem and crypto and also trading, locking up my steem is quite a good thing for me as it prevents me from doing anything stupid and I am looking to hold for a long time as I enjoy my experience here a lot.

Also I will totally upvote my own comment since I dont see it as unfair. I invested, I locked my investmant so I am in it for the good and bad times now, my vote is my mining and I earned it by taking a risk.
