It is very beneficial and significant for users, and communities of this network. | It can be pointed as follows |-| - Boost rewards - Enhance our power to vote other people - Ensures security & Privacy - Make investments These are the importance of doing power-up. User can make his reputation on Steemit. He can feel secure about his savings & long-term investments Although power-up is not essential but a choice of a user to increase his influence on platform. If user do not want to power-up, he will not tend to do this. But without doing power-up he cannot gain the real and proper benefits of this network. | Thank you | |-| |
