Hodling STEEM Power makes STEEM

nathanmars (71) · 7 years ago

Using up-voting bots makes STEEM stay $3 @ forever my friend.

No newbies want to buy even a small amount of STEEM

If you want $100 STEEM then, you must give some rewards for new steemians. If not STEEM will go to $0

If you want to win, we win together or newbies will go where they get reasonable reward for their contribution.

Time to decide my friend

I would be happy to know where will be people going to get reasonable reward for their contribution?... LOL... Facebook?, Reddit?, Twitter?, Youtube?...

There is no competition to steemit right know, this is the only platform that will give you some reward for posting, even if you are a newbie... Other business models requires a lot more of work and investment to get some little reward...

Yes, self voting is ugly, but sometimes i think we should stop wining about it... In real life, people who have a lot of money will use that money to get self benefit, this is not different here...

hey @nathanmars, this is exactly what we are doing with #comedyopenmic / @comedyopenmic we have given out ~1000 SBD and ~270 Steem and attracted total paid-out of >$15,000 worth in upvotes and prizes since we started (data from SteemSQL) all without bot votes, so 100% profits for original comedy content producer.... come checkout what we're doing and see if we can help bring Steem to >$10.

This world has more serious problems to be solved than supporting comedy content producers.

You can do what you want with very limited time given to you.

Please don’t judge me and I won’t judge you. Let it be wonderful :)

$0.00

dj123 (60) · 7 years ago

not judging at all, in fact, I'm in agreement with you.

as for world problems, well, we're current focus on the world of Steem and obviously you are a serious Steem investor so I thought it would interest you to know that comedy has been the biggest retainer of all social sites

why do you the subreddit s/funny is the biggest sub-reddit with 50million members?

or why facebroke and dubetube consistently run funny videos and content randomly into their users stream to keep them engage and coming back?

our goal is to bring authentic comedy content creators and enthusiast into the blockchain, we're just starting with Steem first, and hopefully bring up the value of your wallet.

Here's a quick vision snapshot of the next 12months:

raise upto 100,000 of delegation to keep the community self-sustaining
grow a community of 50,000 engaged Steemians
raise original Comedy entry to 500/week or >150,000 original comedy entries.

mid term vision 1.5-2 years.

bring in 1% of subreddit funny or 500,000 new Steem accounts who supports or appreciates comedy with content, engagement or just help build the community

we're a community volunteer based account growing on the graces of Steemian large and small, if what we're doing isn't part of the solution, we would not be currently trending as one of the tags with the highest average paid upvotes....no kidding, go click on the link and see for yourself.

they say laughter is the best medicine.... maybe laughter is also good financial medicine for blockchain technology, especially for the likes of social media blockchains like Steem, don't you think?

$0.35

nathanmars (71) · 7 years ago

Yes I agree laughter is best medicine.

There are thousands of people are dying of unnecessary wars. So what I’m doing is kind of more meaningful to me and I come from a place where thousands of people killed by internal war. At least in my own view.

I 100% believe that you’ve your own argument for doing what you’re doing is meaningful to you.

If I meant to rethink about you then I’ll :)

theinsideout (52) · 7 years ago

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I spent quite a bit of time here, but I've pretty much given up except for a few things here and there. I find it much more fruitful to spend time developing my following on Reddit or Quora, which are also a lot more fun for me. No, you don't get paid to post on those sites, but you can organically gain a following that will gain you eyeballs for projects you do monetize. Certainly, a few people find a way to do that here. A bunch of people I followed because I liked their content six months ago have thrown up their virtual hands and vanished.

As a newbie I haven't purchased steem. I want to but it is very expensive and won't change my influance. I'd need to spend $US5000 to increase to a good upvote amount and I don't have that amount of cash.

There needs to be a better way as currently all the Steem bots are milking the system and not helping build new members accounts.

There are a lot of people leaving Steemit due to this. There needs to be a better way.

Maybe rewards for steem purchases i.e. 10% bonus on purchases.

$14.40

inventor16 (64) · 7 years ago (edited)

The reason the gains were so high the first 2 years is because steem started out at 100% inflation. Today if you wait 2 years you will get around 17%, basically the sum of each years inflation. So by powering up you just are immune to the effect of dillution by newly created steem (inflation). Self upvoting for visibility.

SBD should be consider as Steemit's currency. Which means people need to buy SBD and convert it into Steem. If people can buy Steem directly, then SBD will be useless. Steemit board needs to consider, whether to keep SBD by stop Steem trading or get rid of SBD.

Nothing? That's logically incorrect. The payouts come in Steem Dollars. The higher they are the more value people get in return.

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

The payouts come out in STEEM Dollars "now", but if we decide the peg no longer exists and will not be enforced it can easily be switched to STEEM and SBD can be removed without any impact on the system.

Right now, of course, SBD has some use because it is being used by Post Rewards, bots, and it has a value, but it can be removed and all that can be handled by STEEM.

Hey Mark. I see your point. For the same SP, the mVests increases as time goes, which is great! But one thing I don’t understand is that if I don’t perform any action the past two years, the SP amount won’t change, only the vests right? But others vests also increases right? So my propotion of the vest still stay the same, except for Steem price went much higher in the past two years, I don’t see why it is profitable.

Look, your SP doesn't magically go up. He's saying that the value did increase in the last two years, so people who bought in then did make a nice profit. It's a different story if you take a look at the last six months. There is no guaranteed that you will make money. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. He's a salesman.

In the early days there was 100% inflation, that's why he got the numbers he did.

Now, if you power up you get 7% inflation. So if you power up 1000 steem, and then power down a year later, you get 1070 steem.

Hi Mark,

Firstly, let me just say i witness voted for you. Second, forgot to mentioned to the noobs and those who came after hf16/17/18 or something when the inflation was much-much more than 9.5% a year (think the 50-100% inflation during the mining days and the )

In the next 2 years, new Steemian powering today won't even see 14.9% increase in vest in their Steem, much less 149%.

Note, in the last 4-5 months. i saw vest go from 480 to 490, that's only 2+%

I suppose please share some reasonable FOMO.... like SMT drawing in maybe 2-3 solid ICO out of 20-30 new token in Dec 2018 (who know's it's possible). I'm just saying....please give realistic info.

I hope this did not offend, but I think it's important to clarify.

I am a firm believer that users can wield their stake however they see fit. However most people who use this justification for excessive self voting, vote selling, etc. only believe in “the code is law” when it comes to upvoting. If they are downvoted into oblivion they’ll never acknowledge it as a valid use of vests. They are often the first and loudest to cry about how others have chosen to use their shares.
I’m overall happy with the mechanics of the system, I’d like to see more of a cultural shift that does free people to use their vests as desired, including a lot more flagging!

The rate of return for holding STEEM in SP is not as high as it used to be. From December 2016 to January 2018, it only increased by 10 million STEEM per mvests from 475 to 485. This is a gain of 2% for that approximately one year period. STEEM per mvests went up a lot faster in the early days of STEEM.

Vests are not STEEM Power, vests are how many shares in the STEEM platform you own. STEEM Power is just a human-friendly number to show you how much STEEM your vests are worth. It's not a currency, it isn't anything but a nice way of displaying how much vests you own.

And you are saying that number of steem in your wallet will increase over time if you do nothing but let it sit in "vest"?

Would not that also require the price of steem to rise just like it did before? Will the amount of vest you own only increase if you earn or buy more?
Honestly if you just held just steem without powering up its the same thing isn't it? Then you do not have to wait 14 weeks to cash out while it is going up and down. As well the 14 weeks "power down" has changed before so it could change again?

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago (edited)

Holding liquid STEEM and powering up would not be the same thing. Buying VESTS (aka powering up) will yield more STEEM when you start to power down at a future date. Holding liquid STEEM will always remain the same amount they just may be worth more or less on the market.

I doubt the powering down duration will change again.

I do want to get more SP (Vests) but as a content creator I feel discouraged because even though I bring shitload of ACTUAL PEOPLE to steemit/steem blockchain, I do not get any thanks form my work like an upvote from established steemit users with high VP because they are busy circle jerking or selling their vote...

Usar bots de votación ascendente hace que STEEM se quede $ 3 @ para siempre mi amigo.
Ningún novato quiere comprar ni una pequeña cantidad de STEEM
Si quiere $ 100 STEEM entonces, debe dar algunas recompensas por nuevos Steemians. Si no, STEEM irá a $ 0
Si quieres ganar, ganamos juntos o los novatos irán a donde obtengan una recompensa razonable por su contribución, espero que mi comentario sea de su agrado SALUDOS

thank you @themarkymark for putting up to post to explain the different terminologies used in the Steem community.
Honestly, I have not pay attention to the term "VEST" since I joined Steemit 4 months ago. The reason is our wallet has not shown this terminology. As such, I normally read Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollar ( sbd )
Although I have seen the word VEST in the steemd.com website, it never comes across my mind that "vest" is the real power
I am so glad to have read your post

I'm seeing this with my delegations. A customer is leasing 50K SP from me, but that has slowly crept up over the last six months.
Since he's actually leasing Mvests, he's getting almost 50,500SP worth currently.

michaeljpsalazar (52) · 7 years ago

I think one other factor to be considered was the inflated prices of SBD, which would give about 3:1 ratio versus steem. This resulted to a lot of generated vests, by powering up, diluting its price. Unless we can see SBD going back to $1, we might see a slow growth on the value of our vests, therefore SP "generation" decreasing.

I am not the least bit market oriented...if you took your steem and converted it into steem power your steem power can fluctuate with the market, it can go up and or it can go down, right? If it just sits as steem it stays stable but doesn't earn anything sitting there, would that be correct? If I took my steem and power it into steem power then I am risking losing it...Just some days I feel like that episode of Happy Days when Fonzie was selling ice cream from one of those peddle carts and he said, "I just get up to ninety miles an hour and have to stop for some kid waving a dime"...I get up to fifty, it goes down to thirty five, I get up to sixty five and it goes down to forty seven, I get up to eighty five and it goes down to sixty three. (account balance) ...then I am like man this is like a roller coaster and I'll be reading shit till the cows come home before I ever get to a hundred bucks.

if you took your steem and converted it into steem power your steem power can fluctuate with the market, it can go up and or it can go down, right?

No, because when you power up you lose your STEEM, you buy VESTS. These have no market value and are not tradable. When you power down you convert it to STEEM again and that is affected by the market.

VESTS to STEEM (and STEEM to VESTS) exchange rate is not influenced by the market.

Because the price of STEEM has fallen recently

$0.00

sunlit7 (59) · 7 years ago

So when the price of steem falls that only has a effect on your account balance but it does not have a effect on the amount of steem power/vest?

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

It has an effect on your "Estimated Account Value" the quantity of tokens (STEEM/SBD) and VESTS (aka SP) does not change.

$0.00

sunlit7 (59) · 7 years ago

Okay, it's becoming more clear now. So if I understand right having steem is tokens that just sit there, they don't earn any money, they are just there. If you take that and power up it then starts earning you more because you have more power in your votes to bring a higher percentage of return on your share of curation? If that is correct does one want to leave any amount of steem sitting without powering it up?

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

Holding STEEM is holding X coins that go up or down in value but the quantity never changes (unless you add more or remove some yourself).

Powering upconverts STEEM to VESTS at the current exchange rate, when you power down that exchange rate will be higher (more expensive) and thus power down to more STEEM but at a couple % per year.

Example Time.

Powering up 10,000 STEEM about 3 months ago would have given you 20,445,716 VESTS.

Powering down that 10,000 STEEM today would have given you 10,052 STEEM in return.

The exchange rate of 1 STEEM to 1 Million Vests was 489.1 about 3 months ago or so, today it is 491.69.

Now if you held 10,000 STEEM in your account as liquid funds for 3 months, you would have 10,000 STEEM today. The only change is what 10,000 STEEM is worth today vs 3 months ago, but you didn't gain or lose any STEEM it is just valued differently.

If that is correct does one want to leave any amount of steem sitting without powering it up?

Everyone has different needs and goals, so you may need to pay a mortgage and need to pull some liquid STEEM out, you may want to buy another token. There are real-life reasons to power down and hold liquid STEEM.

From an efficiency point of view, powering up is the most efficient use of STEEM until you are ready to sell it as it will gain "interest" and can be voted with.
