EDIT: @charlieshrem resteemed this, and I stupidly didn't notice this was your post @inertia. So read the below comment with that in mind! :-)

This post got you my witness vote :-)

I just wanted to ask, when you say SP as a long term store of value. Do you think we are diminishing the value of our digital assets by limiting payouts to 4 weeks?

Also I think people are missing another obvious benefit of keeping Steem Power, is that it is a potential 2 year income to be realised at some point in the future.

Whilst that carries some risk, I think it's safe to say that Steemit's start suggests that it has at least a 5-10 year lifespan, and hopefully beyond. Viewed like that, the benefits to holding SP is obvious. We will hit a point where Steem's value can't fail to increase because of the amount of new users and new investors.

Plus of course, once the first big sidechain comes along whereby Steem and SBD are usable tokens, we'll see some big moves in the price, therefore long term SP holders will be rewarded.

Anyways, thanks for sharing; looking forward to hearing more from you.
