RE: Steem Power Interest Is Not Compound Interest!

in #interest8 years ago

But the conversion rate is increasing linearly, no? That is to say, if i have X amount in steem power, and I don't add any more, the increase in the conversion rate will yield a fixed increase in SP every month, not a linear one. Am i missing something.

Sort:  

Yes, the conversion rate increases quasi-linearly as a function of time, very unlike compounding which is a geometric series that grows super-linearly. The principal, denominated in VESTS, is static. It doesn't move at all unless you are earning additional VESTS by curating or blogging, but that has nothing to do with interests.

recursive... see my other reply... the conversion rate doubles every year.... thats is compounding and thats not a linear increase... ie, the 1m vests is worth 200 now, 400 after one year, 800 after 2 years, etc... thats 100% APR compounded yearly

That is not linear. Anonymint is off on how much were going to make (i think because hes trying to calculate it compounding monthly)
