Question: how does steemprice affects rewards?

in steem •  7 years ago 

We know rewards are going down because rewardpool was getting drained. I saw a few charts and I think I might decide we are reaching an equilibrium right? Or will the reward pool slowly go down further and rewards dropping?

However since yesterday the rewardpool is'nt that much drained but the rewards when down like 30%?

So Steemprice has something to do with it? However the steemprice was lower yesterday and the day before so does that mean that there is calculated an average steemprice for some days and then it start to affect payouts? Does someone know this?

Another question I have is how hard does steemprice affects the upvotereward? I could upvote 36 cents after hf 19. Now I am down to 12 cents at full power...

Imagen you can upvote 1$ at 100% with 100% power and price of steem is 1$. What would be your upvote worth if steemprice is 2$, 5$ or 10$? How hard does steemprice affects rewards and how does this work? Hoping to get us some answers here from more experienced steemians.

Steem price has nothing to do with it

its the amount of people that join steemit that affect the price

if we have thousands of new people each day, the rewards get distriibuted amongst them as well, lowering the money for everyone else

my posts are falling rapidly all the time because of it, i had one post that was $25, within 6 days it was down to $11

the more people on the platform the less money for everyone , just how things are

No wonder they make sure to check who's joining the platform. Just to slow down the pool when you think about it which makes me wonder if telling so many about this was a mistake. Not sure what to think about this going forward considering how hot this site has gotten recently. People say to hold on but I'm sure many people would feel like they ain't got time to wait around for something to get better.

So with some cashing out and others just losing faith in the platform, that's a bad combination yo!

I was told that the price of steem does something has to do with it. So if your post is saying that it's because of the amount of users... Then in the furute there wont be much to earn? How are they gonna handle this @moderninvestor

Unfortunately this kind of reward works best with money coming in as well as going out. Right now theres an unbalance with more people cashing out than investing. I'm one of them, only because I live in a country where I can't simply purchase BTC. If I could, though, I'd invest every penny on steem

Thanks for posting a very good question!
Its good to know knowledge!
Cheers & God Bless!

accumulated about $390 at one point. Three days + 40 more votes later it became $272.60 and it keeps steadily slipping down. It was an unexpected surprise to me.
