I'm assuming because it's based on the value of steem, and as it goes up and down, so does the value displayed on the posts.

Yeah seems right since it is pegged to the dollar (hence $)...interesting though since I have not noticed that.

yeah, that's probably it!

i didn't understand it before and I was like where did everyone's money go? is it a hack?
Aaaannndd now that you have pointed out why.....I feel pretty stupid! LOL

Hah we're all learning here, no need to feel bad for asking a question :)

hehe thanks! :)

It's the markets...

that happened to me aswell, just a few cent but it definitly lost on value, dont know why it is like that

I lost a few dollars in total.

if I understand it correctly as a voter cast more votes afterwards it may dilute their voting power and therefor your hard earned $$. Still new to this so feel free to add/correct...

if the steemit price goes up the dollar on our posts go down??

yeah i have this question too...if steem price increases, then the dollar on our posts go down or up!?!?
