In terms of the value of Steem Power, my ideas are practically identical to yours @exyle.
I actually invested about $1,000 USD in Steem with my family which is a big investment for us since this is the lowest we've been in terms of savings in a decade, but I see it as a neccesity to hedge the income we receive in USD.
If anything happens to the USD in the upcoming Global Financial Crisis, I suspect that I will make up for some of my losses in income through our 2,700 + SP.
I pretty much suspect that I will live off of my SP in the future and I have creative ways of doing it. My main project is Humanist.xyz, a Steem-based forum with plans for more in the future.
I also want @emafe / @emaferice, @zaclucasrice, @abello and @renz.rubio to receive dividends greater than self-votes from my current and future projects via the delegations they give my projects - that is one of my goals.
P.S. My average price per Steem is $0.36 USD since the predictions I published on Steemit starting in 2018 turned out to be accurate predictions.
