Wow, know that is really interesting!!
As I am new here on Steem, I didn't hear yet those kind of stories, where something virtual becomes real.
Again it shows me that believing in something moves mountains (as the German says) and that even assumptions and probability can do that.
Honestly, I find it crazy but maybe here is a first chance for sincere craziness.
I have an analogy with people instead of krypto-currency: I have a big family and know when times will get really tough I could go there and find my refuge. Just the thought allows me to feel secure and probably time won't come I have to find a hideaway as the fact that I always will be reassured gives me confidence.
When I translate or extend the term Steem Power it becomes much more than a currency. But in the end: what is the definition of a currency anyway?
Have fun with your bike! Greetings from Hamburg.
