@aggroed a nice write up. I keep reading about the whales and the downward pressure whenever steem goes across the 1 dollar point in value. Do you have any insight into why this is the case? Because when i read about investors not finding it interesting due to the 13 weeks why would they bother keeping the price low then? I have trouble connecting the dots.
Autobots, roll out!
Or all this could be a very positive thing....
When the price of Steem starts trending up pass $4,
The wonderful complexities of our 14 Weeks Vest, Steem To Vest Depreciating Ratio, SBD Interest Rates(Did somebody say negative interest soon?), Interest for SteemPower Annual Inflation(Which secretly hides growth), Complex % Curation Payouts Decay, Downvote Flagging Micro-Battles, and our (in)famous variations of upvote agendas which includes assortments of Circle-jerk, Self-jerk, Whale-jerk, Orca-jerk, Dolphin-jerk, Minnow-jerk, Bots-jerk, Swarm-of-Fake-Russian-Accounts-Following-Curation-Jerks, etc, Etc, ETC...
All will make predictability (including all future forks aka SMT, Oracles, Tokenizations) of Steem for future traders almost impossible (Think Game Theory & Chaos Theory had a love-child in the token market) and will result in steady year-after-year of macro-incline of price per new user until we exceed 1 Billion Users and $10,000 per Steem Price.
Yes ....
$10,000
