Buying Steem Power - how is this even possible?

in #steemit10 years ago

I am a little bit confused, I thought it is not possible to trade "Steem Power" but on Blocktrades.us it is possible to buy SteemPower. How is this even possible?

I thought we have 2 liquid assets (Steem and Steem Dollars) and one none tradeable class (Steem Power). But when the transfer of SteemPower is not possible how can Blocktrades.us do it?

This is really confusing, so maybe someone can share some light on it @ned @dan @blocktrades

I'm thinking it's like a direct consequence of buying steem? I don't know how that site works out, but maybe it allows to buy steempower directly for some reason like an exclusive thing.

I thought if you are Powering Up (SteemPower) it is locked for 2 years.

Not locked, but you will be paid in 104 pieces for 2 years since your first powerdown
