Powering up a lot. What else should I use SBD for?

Haha, I was so lazy or tired when doing this tiny face I didn't even make the eyes reasonably symmetrical...

I've been using nearly all of my money for powering up. I don't know whether Hive account@steembasicincome is a better use of it(or, rather, a portion of it) or not yet. I do like the service and appreciate their votes, but I wonder which of these options is most efficient for a minnow like me to gain Steem Power.

I'm glad there are non-spam-related ways to build one's way up on here, at least.

Thoughts?
