Every upvote or flag decreases your voting power (like by 2% or something). I have read somewhere that limiting your voting to 10 times per day is the best way to keep your upvote value high. As well, posting 5 or more posts per 24 hour period exponentially decreases the potential payout value of all posts in that same period (so to resist decay and deflation, no more than 4 posts per 24 hour period is recommended).
Hope you research this, and if you find better advice please share here.

It is based on your Steem Power (Vested Capital). The more Steem one uses to 'Power Up' the higher the upvote power (value).

Currently worth 0 for you because you have voted your power down to low for it to be significant (might even be there, just in a 0.006 format). I'm currently at 46 Steem Power (13 more than you) & 100% of my 100% voting power is worth $0.02 - but when your SP reaches over 500 you can begin to control the % of your voting power you choose to use).
Bingo. Except I do not know or understand the exact mathematical formula used to predict potential payout value and the decay of... but you're pretty spot on with the games one could play should they create a bot network and invest some steem into them.
My hopes are in someone building something similar to this only with bot preventions (let's keep the Network human, save all this A.I. experimentation crap for steemit) and a better policy on spam and flagging. THAT is a crypto-based Network I'd be willing to put any actual cash into.
