Creating money out of thin air? I've never thought of it in those terms exactly but that's essentially what holding Steem Power gives you. This is why I feel Steem Power might be the greatest investment of our lifetime. I've been thinking of different ways that Steemit could help the average person who doesn't want to blog, but could benefit greatly from Steemit. I discussed that here.
Supply and demand has always been the driving force of every free market throughout history, and I feel you are spot on. As more users come aboard, Steem will harder to acquire, which in turn should increase the price of Steem. I also feel there will come a time when Steem will de-peg it's self from Bitcoin and stand on it's own 2 feet. When that will be, I don't know. But when the time comes when we can trade Steem directly for fiat, I think the value of Steem tokens will rise exponentially. Great post as always brother. Cheers!
