What Happened to the Power Up and the Upvote Options on New Posts?

<center>![SBD to Steem.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWmiG4d5NEttr8E1EhtXB8JjrqHpRuhtycdBW4cRe54mX/SBD%20to%20Steem.PNG)</center>

I noticed that when getting ready to submit a new post, the option to select 50%/50% or 100% **Power Up** is no longer available. Neither is the option to **Upvote** the post. Where 'O where has it all gone? Does anybody know? Now that the value of SBD is almost 20% less than the value of STEEM, I want to Power Up all my posts but do not have that option. What gives?

Please resteem this post so that someone who has the knowledge shares it with the Steemit world. Thanks.

Why would you want to power up when SBD is worth less than Steem ? It doesn't really how much value it has compared to Steem, what matters is that SBD is above 1$. If it was under 1$ then I would have understood why you would want to set the payout as 100% power up but with the current value, 50/50 is the best choice.

50/50 is the best choice when SBD has increased above the price of STEEM. I think you are looking at it backwards!  As of the time of writing, it would cost you $1SBD for only 0.826 Steem. Why would anyone NOT  want to power up 100% when SBD is not worth anything? When SBD is higher than the price of STEEM, you have more buying power! Looking at your recent conversion history, you paid 16.482 SBD for 14.023 STEEM... that's like trading two M&M peanuts for one plain M&M! (Not a good swap!)

I think you are confused. Let's say a post has a payout value of 10$ after 7 days. Your author reward is about 75% of that so 7.50$. Now let's see how much value you will get out of this post with both payout options.

**100% Steem Power**
That's pretty straight-forward, it's the value you should get so 7.50$ (~2.27 STEEM)
**50% SBD / 50% Steem Power**
SBD is distributed as if it was worth 1$ (it's hard-coded in the way the Steem blockchain works), knowing that you can make this simple calculation.
(7.50$/2 * SBD price) + (7.50$/2)
= (3.75$ * 2.67$) + 3.75$
=  13.76$ (~4.17 Steem)
