RE: BuzzSteem Ep. 21 - @bethwheatcraft [Bitcoin's Future, Witnesses and National Singing Day]
I see the major YT guys as a mixed blessing; they may bring followers, but will occupy top spots on the landing page to the exclusion of others. I think that maybe the sign on bonus would have been better if paid in cash, still unfair, but at least they'd be more motivated to bring new users to get the upvotes rather than getting them from the whales giving them the additional advantage of building voting power quickly. I don't feel the pinch like others, when I started Steem was at $1.68 so I'm still ahead; I know my bank account didn't double in 2 months.
Right but regardless of how much Steem was when you bought it, the value (in Fiat) is going down on everyone's account. That's what I meant. If anyone planned to take out any SBD right now, they wouldn't make much on it compared to a month ago.
Yes, but I can't take it out anyway, so why worry as long as it's worth more than it was 2 months ago. I'm far more miffed about my vote max of $0.04 going down to $0.02 today, even though I've got more Steem powered up and the dollar exchange came back up from $2.xx to $3.77. My voting strength is around 90% and it makes no sense.
Yeah I have noticed a lot of strange things happening lately. For days. on Steemd, my rep score has been at 55, but it hasn't budged off 54 on Steemit. It's ultimately not a big deal but I do wonder if it affects my voting at all.
From what I gather, your reputation will grow slower the higher it gets, and eventually slow to a crawl. I also noticed that when I go to my wallet I have a rep score of 25, but everywhere else I have a rep of 47. Your rep score does not have a bearing on your voting value; this is a function of Steem Power, voting power and account value. When the crash hit and Steem was headed for $2, my voting value went from .04 to .03, and now that Steem headed back towards the $4 mark, it drops from .03 to .02, why? My Steem Power went from 97 to 98, my bandwidth is at 90% and my voting power is at 91%.
I've been reading posts about how this voting value is calculated but found nothing so far that explains what is happening to mine.
I also noticed that the payout on my posts drop just before they are due. A couple of days before this recent crash, Steemworld stopped listing external SBD and Steem prices. Coincidence? Maybe, but no explanation was given..
Man my payouts have been taking a beating, even as Steem has been on the rise again. I don't understand how any of this works!
If you notice strange things, screenshot them. I'm doing the same thing on this end.
That's a good idea! One of my posts went from $70 to $28 by day 7. I thought that drop was pretty excessive! And I didn't have any downvotes.
I don't think I saw drops that big ever. Ok, screenshot your post value at it's peak and again on day 6 or 7. I noticed some drops, but I don't post as often as you do. It looks like they are correcting value in line with market value, but only on the down side; I have never seen it go the other way. Only one way to find out; gather the evidence on both post value and market value. If the drop matches market activity we'll know more.
