Thanks for these posts, they are very informative and important. I'm active in some Bitcoin communities and the prevailing mindset over there is that Steem is just a scam. That's mainly because these kinds of numbers and concepts are very hard to understand especially for people coming from Bitcoin world, where there is practically no inflation (and inflation is generally seen as printing money out of nothing = scam). All blockchains dont operate under the same principles however, so we need to keep our minds open and look at things from new perspectives. You are definitely helping with that :)
