This question has been on my mind for a few days. SO I decided to make a contest out of it!

What would I do with 1/2 a million steem power, how would you use it?.

That is a pile of steem and would immediately open up many doors to changing things within the platform. The people you could rally behind you to build something that helps life the value of the site, or an ICO, a separate site built upon the blockchain that could be a massive success itself and bring in a whole pile of new users.

I was told by a person who is highly intelligent and does carry that kind of steem, that SP is not the be all, end all in this game on the steem blockchain. No, the most important thing is INFLUENCE

With that kind of SP you could guide a whole tag and develop it into something that could help everyone succeed as we have seen with our friend @surpassinggoogle, A most amazing human, who has definitely had a major impact upon this site and its retention rate.

Steam Power

Lets think of steem power as acutal steam power and how many uses and applications it had during the industrial revolution.It was HUUGE, they powered everything from transportation, to fabrication, and to entertainment.

When looking back before the invention of the internal combustion engine, the imagination was limit of what people were inventing with steam as it power drive. Even to this day, most of our power in the world comes from steam through nuclear power.

so looking as steem as the same sort of drive as steam was for the industrial era. The doors of our imaginations an begin to open to the possibilities of what can be built using the steem blockchain as the basis.

So I ask you, what would you do, if you had 500,000 SP and you could not take it out. What kind of amazing or even industrious ideas would you build upon it??

I will put up 10 steem coins in prizes to the best answers to this question.

• 5 steem to the winner
• 3 steem to 2nd
• 2 steem to 3rd
