RE: Why is the Price of Steem falling? Does it Matter?

in #steem-price8 years ago

I accurately told my readers to sell at $1.36 if they had any Steem and there would be other opportunities. At $1.15, it's still too early and there will be plenty of time, don't worry. Let's not forget that this thing inflates at 100% a year, so for people like me, who are phenomenal in timing, there will be those "moments" to buy and don't worry, they're sooner than you think.

Sort:  
  1. It doesn't inflate at 100% per year currently, that I a long-term figure after the initial phase of distribution.
  2. Powered-up Steem (SP) does not inflate at 100% long-term either. If you are investing for more than a short time you should be holding SP not STEEM.

why is that smooth? point 2?

steem has lost over 90% since the ATH few month ago and I think that we are going towards steems All Time Low - at least this is the trend ..looking at the chart.
As an Investment it is the worst thing I have invested in the crypto currencies world. but as a social media site ..it's cool and I hope it will replace FakeBook one day :)

This post and discussion is obsolete as the economics of Steem were completely reworked at the beginning of December.

The reason SP didn't (and doesn't) inflate as the same rate as STEEM is that you get anti-dilution payments as an SP holder that offset most (or in some conditions even all) of the inflation. That is still the case, although the base rate of inflation is much lower.
