The super high interest rate on steem power was the big issue (for example 279% at one point back in july and slowly dropping daily), causing more sell pressure than buy pressure (happens to every super high interest coin like HYP, HYPER, etc etc. I've been warning about this since july). The changes address this issue very well, with a 1.425% APR on steem power for starters, decreasing every year by roughly 0.075% until it hits a minimum of 0.075% and stays there. No more high interest inflation issues means LONG TERM people will get back to normal speculation and demand / value will fluctuate only based on normal factors (perceived value based on features / platform feasibility / dev team performance / etc etc). SHORT TERM, it MAY (just a guess) be a bumpy ride as people who were locked in a 2 year exit window have the option of a 3 month exit window...we'll see soon enough.
