Hive price is important unless we probably want to lie. I also haven't really power down. I only did to buy about 2k HBD and staked it. I think it pays to have powered up hive because you can use it to help others and also attract attention. Hive loves people who keep their stake.
In general I like to encourage people who keep their stake.
I live with a very chronic condition that sidelines me, and mostly I find it hard to even talk about it or needing support or talk of powering down. I might power down later to buy HBD as well, but as much as we care about the well-being of the ecosystem and also give it back and keep the value however we can, it's all good..
