Great post jholdsworthy.. I like the interest point. I don't see bitcoin given you the great return on your SteemDollars or anything like it.
You could consider your SteemDollars as a savings account; getting a better interest rate than any bank account. And consider your SteemPower as a 2 year annuity.
If this continues to get out and more people find out about it. Your points here will definitely drive Steemit to a new level and get noticed.
You have a new follower as well.....
