Trying to figure out the economic scheme of Steem is difficult because there are a lot of moving parts. It seems to have potential because of the viral element and it looks like the perfect vehicle to achieve mainstream adoption. You say there is an incentive to vote and curate but why would you want to bring in new people if it dilutes the very limited jackpot of rewards to be distributed?
You do want to bring in people but you mainly want to bring in Steem Power am I right? So from what I understand Steem looks "underpriced" from a speculator perspective but then you do not want to hold Steem without powering up because holding Steem is like playing hot potato?
What economic strategy would you suggest? Are you going to be buying Steem in order to vest it for years?
