STEEM is shooting for the stars, with a 122% increase in value over that past 24 hours. Currently it's sitting at an astonishing $1.20 per STEEM. This post is for all the new users who have discovered STEEM whilst trading and I'll cover the basics of STEEM, STEEM Power and SBD (Steam Back Dollar).
Video Explaination:
STEEM Power VS STEEM
Steem power is like karma - it is rewarded for making good posts and for upvoting other people's posts (known as curation). Steem power is normally kept in your account and cannot be traded. The more STEEM power you have, the more influencial you are on STEEM - your articles and votes will be worth more. If at any point you want to start trading the power for fiat money (eg, USD), you have to power down your account. Power downs take 13 weeks (Thanks @craig-grant) to complete. What you get is a tradable form of STEEM Power, called STEEM. This can now be exchanged on Poloniex or any other exchange that supports it.
I hope you guys can support me and upvote this post so new users can see it! I'll also be powering up 100%, YAY STEEM!
Great Video! STEEM IS THE DA KING! I was shocked but i'm not surprised. I remember it being 3 Dollars... it should nicely settle at 0.70-1.2$$!

If I have 100 steem power and I power down, how many Steem tokens will reflect in my account and in exactly how much time?

During every power down (every 7 days), you'll get 7.69 STEEM and lose 7.69 STEEM POWER. (net total is still 100 STEEM).
It takes 13 power down cycles to completely convert your STEEM power to STEEM

Thank you. Thats quite a task. OK also tell me the price at which the power down happens. Suppose I hit the Power Down button today at $1.00 Steem Price. Does all power downs take place at this price? where I began the power down...OR at the respective market prices every week?

Very different but seems pretty cool. Steem is starting to be chased after more than real cash. Cash is trash anyways.
