Once again, this should be required reading for everyone that's new (and old) to Steemit. It took me forever to 'get it' where the money was coming from and how it was generated...
If only I had posts like this lol
But thankfully guys like you others are making this information much more visible. I'm going to tag my friend in this post because he's been asking me all day where does the money come from LOL I think this does a better job explaining it than I did....lol @nosyx
At 70 years of age I am not very social media savvy. My middle son, knowing that I have a lot of good content from my teaching and book writing experience, got me started on Steemit a little over a week ago.
I sincerely appreciate that you have explained SBD and Steem Power in an understandable, clear, and concise way.
Have you considered doing an "Ask the Expert" type of post? This would be a great service to the community; especially for newbies like me who can ask you questions about Steemit.
Great to see people from a variety of generations on Steemit, is your son on it too? No problem! And great idea; I will definitely look in to it. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to respond to this comment and ask me, or simply message me on Steemit Chat!
this is genius and answers so many of my questions. I'm sharing the crap out of this one since many of my friends in Uganda are so new to Bitcoin, I always study about bitcoin , and almost get involved, then sometimes it slips out of my radar for some reason.
but i have one question for you, Isn't it possible that steem dollars can "go bankrupt" if the value of the assets drop by 95% or more? In a normal market it would be a total fluke event. But in cryptos extreme moves are much more common.
I guess if you look at the meteoric rise Of the SBD, a crash below its pegged value could be possible. I don't know the exact answer, as I haven't looked in to the economics of it much, but I think it is possible yes!
Well written and insightful article. I wonder, if there are only 20 witnesses (aka 20 people who may/can mine STEEM), doesn't this mean they can get extremely wealthy in an extremely short amount of time? This privilege must earn them some gigantic revenues, or am I missing something?
