The Great Steemit Debate: Tone Vays vs. Jeff Berwick "Ponzi Scheme or Paradigm Shift?"

in steem •  8 years ago  (edited)

Great discussion on the potential pros and cons. Really too early to say anything definitive at this stage. All I know, regarding comments at 15:00 minutes, is that if you go to steemstats.com by @jesta and add accounts to watch, you will see that Witnesses and Whales are very pro-active on the site, and like the rest of us, have a sliding power bar from 100% to zero on their ability to control or influence posts in any 24 hour period.
My understanding is that if the voting power drops to zero, it takes a full 5 days to repower; whether a minnow or a whale. All things look pretty equal to my eyes. Please come in and say otherwise if I'm mistaken.

Does it really take 5 days to repower? I thought you could put max. 5% of your power into a post and the power would regenerate every 24h, which would mean that you're most effective if you vote on 20 posts daily.

If your power drops all the way to zero, it takes five days to recharge all the way back up to 100%, but if you vote on 20 posts daily it won't ever be used up. You have to make a lot more votes (hundreds) for that to ever happen.
