Thank you very much for posting this. I'm new to Steem and crypto and I've been trying to intake as much information as I can to increase my financial IQ pertaining to crypto and also learn the inner workings of how Steemit actually functions. This was great information. Thanks again & followed!

here is my simple explanation....

Steemit WItness and Nodes Mine the steem....They keep a small portion as incentive to be nodes/witnesses.....but most newly mined steem goes to the peopel with most upvotes from peopel with highest steempower! If you have $0 steempower your upvotes will be worth $0 but if you have lets say $1 million dollars in Steempower your upvotes will become as much as $5 $10 at a time! This whole atmosphere is

I joined way back when in July last year (actually after seeing one of your blogs and getting hooked by your infectious enthusiasm for the platform). Since then, we've all been through a crazy thrill ride of ups and downs along the way all in this relatively brief period of Steemit's existence.

So, in terms of Steempower and this post, you covered that history as well as the the present day situation in meticulous detail and even gave your thoughts as to the reasons why they occured at all. Very insightful and useful info especially for people just joining now. Also, given the influx of new users at this time, your timing couldn't be better.

Excellent job yet again. Very impressed, Craig.

Keep doing what you do best and Steem On, my bro!!! :)

(p.s. nice analogy comparing trading to selling crack on a street corner, laughed a lot at that!)

Hi @craig-grant, I've always wondered how whales got to be whales in Steemit. Surely they didn't have all that fiat to buy all that steam power, I kept pondering, I looked and most of the big boys with huge steam power and they all started last year. I guess the inflation rate helped a little bit. There was me thinking they blogged, commented and voted diligently but now I know better. It like playing a little video game - we all got to POWER UP! like Super Mario.

They are mostly early miners. In the first month Steem was under the radar and you can only get Steem by mining.

They had the foresight to jump on board early to take the risk when the odds were 50/50 for success and failure and today their efforts are paying off. I noticed many are techie also, which also helps!!

Thanks, nicely explained. A lot of questions got cleared. By the way, just a suggestion, if you don't mind. You can use a free software ispringfree cam, to record your computer screen. It is clean, ad free, no logos, no time limits etc. You will feel much comfortable. Just a suggestion.........

Hi @craig-grant, you mentioned Bitfinex in your video. I also have an account there but after reading a post from Zerohedge http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-03/worlds-largest-bitcoin-exchange-headed-mt-gox-style-collapse. I am wondering what your opionion is on the exchange. Is Bitfinex another budding Mt. Gox?

Took me a while to finally get to reviewing this blog (was an open tab in my browser for a week), very glad I did though!

You explained what I needed to know in a really concise way man much appreciated! Good distinguishing remarks about voting weight and power, that was huge for me. I didn't realize how my vote impacts others beyond giving them 5cents, it's affect on my own blog and just generally how to use it in the most efficient way.

It was also a nice surprise near the conclusion portion of this video. That was particular interesting and useful knowledge i intend to consider.

here is how I explain it now to people who dont get ow all this free money ould come out of nowhere to be paid to people everyday with popular stores with the most upvotes (from peopel with the highest steempower, number of upvotes doesnt mean anything, each persons vote is a different value deppending on how uch steempowerthey have...my upvotes can be maybe 1 penny with my 400 steempower but @thejohasfiles with his 1.3 million steempower (Over $1 million dollars) has an upvote of around $5 to $10 for just oe of his upvotes! When he upvotes my postts they jump in value at least five dollars at a tme! Hi role is to basically reward good posts that deserve it!

if all steemit whales all careed this much we wouldnt have this prolkem! thanks for reminding me that we NEED a new video with an ANIMATION that EXPLAINS steempower and WHY its such a great investment which pays for itself AND allows you to convrt yoru steempower BACK to liquid cash Its just a way to SAVE your money and to amke more money off the savings!

if your posting everyday on steemit like @craig-grant here you MUST get soem steempower and stay powered up or you wont end up getting as much rewards as yu woudl like!
