Dear @therealwolf
Steem could very likely have a different distribution method in the future. It might even have drastically reduced inflation. Resulting in a much harder time earning Steem
Woulnd't you think that would in many cases result with mass power down, since curation insentive would not be a reason to hold STEEM token.
If inflation would be slowed down, then current stakeholders would need some other reason to keep their STEEM. That would most likely reverse trend quite rapidly.
Yours
