![hien-tran.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPynqof2ZkASucMydyFQ9eRVFcURGnsSAucKRq8m1qqfa/hien-tran.jpg) # Introduction - SBD are "Steem backed dollars" used to help assist with the economics of steem, it creates liquidity and also helps stabilize Steem value. People on here use SBD to pay for services like @randowhale and to tip people above and beyond an upvote for great content or great service to the Steem community. - [SBDFaucet](https://steemit.com/@hien-tran) was built in order to help people get to know [Steemit](https://steemit.com/welcome) better and earn small amounts of SBD. Not sure what STEEMIT is? Here's a post to get you started: [**REPORTS FOR NEWBIES (BEGINNERS🐟). [08/19/2017]**](https://steemit.com/newbie/@hien-tran/reports-for-newbies-beginners-08-19-2017) --- # **RULES FOR USING:** This faucet will give away 0.1 SBD to Newbies (Beginners) who performs the following task: 1 . Post a comment on this post. --- **NOTE:** 1 . Minimal payout 0.1 SBD. Within the next 1 - 24 hours > *You will get paid soon, when I'm online!* 2 . This Post ends after 24 hours. 3 . Newbies only claim once. 4 . No multi accounts. 5 . I reserve the right to increase or decrease the payout amounts. > This is also to ensure a constant supply of SBD. --- If you want more voting power, think long term. Instead of spending some SBD on a vote here and there, why not directly buy Steem and power up yourself? That way the investment stays entirely with you and lasts long term. I've been here over a year, so I can look back and see the benefits of consistent blogging and powering up. You can get STEEM & SBD from the following exchanges: | # | Website | Description | | - |-----|-----| | 1 |https://www.bittrex.com| The fee for trading on exchange is 0.25% of the trade.| | 2 |https://changelly.com| The fee for trading on exchange is 0.5% of the trade.| | 3 |https://blocktrades.us| The fee for trading on exchange is 1% of the trade.| | 4 |~~https://poloniex.com~~|I am now really afraid of using Poloniex. My experience says better we stay away from Poloniex. Don't use them, if you don't trust them. Poloniex has had danger signs for months now. (lack of help with support tickets, change to terms and conditions)| > Be careful, keep your coins safe! Best of luck to everyone and their trading. --- **Steem Power (SP)** is just steem locked up in a way to affect your voting power / payouts. The more you have in SP, the more you get from upvotes and also the more your are able to give out VIA an upvote. It is your POWER on the site. If you put Steem into SP, it takes 13 weeks of equal payments to exit SP back into regular Steem that you can sell on an exchange. Most people put everything into SP if they are long on the platform (like me). **Continue to build up SP. Accumulate, accumulate, accumulate. Key to success.** --- ##### [Steemit](https://steemit.com/welcome) is still quite small but its potential is infinite and its popularity is still [rocketing](http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/steemit.com)! #### I feel proud to be a part of this great platform.
