STEEM bonds?

Hmmm. I think savings acts a bit more like a "Reverse Bank" does in a fractional reserve system; that is when you deposit savings you are explicitly taking money out of the economic system. Having savings act like a Commercial Bank and loan it is like our fractional reserve system where that money in savings in turn creates other money and so on. I'm not sure I'm down with that.

Steem is already "creating" money automatically through the rewards pool.

Sure. I just don't get how STEEM (as opposed to Steemit) would use the Saved STEEM for anything useful.

Just a suggestion for it to actually make value out of something, instead of giving interest out of nothing.

Nods. I guess you could say the value of saved STEEM is in it not being sold or vested. So, it reduces the supply and perhaps then raises the price.
So, the witnesses can set the interest rate to help control the price.
