RE: Official Proposal For A Variable Amount To Power Down - Github Issue Opened
Interesting situation.. I was in a similar situation where I only wanted access to a specific portion of my SP.. ya you can power down for one or two weeks but thats not the point.. Its also psychologically easy to keep powering down (especially if you take a little tolerance break).
People are renting out their SP now for cash - I think that development has made the "lock in" moot.. why not change it to 3 days like the savings account - people who hold Steem off platform might be enticed to lock it in somewhere secure assuming they can get it back in a reasonable time frame. Renting SteemPower has changed the game imo. If you were a company wanting influence - why lock money up for 3 months when someone will rent it to you for a fee?
That's an interesting way to see it too.
At this point - I dont think anything done do to this site will stop Steem's ascent as a currency.. They have already basically handed the project to the community to further.. Quicker/partial power ups and downs make sense going forward - especially since they have put the pressure on us (the users) to bring in new users.. From what I can see - if I want to bring a friend on here tomorrow its gonna cost me 15 steem to buy an account - then I haven to figure out how to "take care of them".. Maybe I want 10k SP to help them get started but I dont want to make a huge time commitment.. renting SP at this point really does seem like the right answer even though its more of a system exploit than design! Its been fun watching this site inch closer to what it is meant to be - but what that looks like is still being written!
