So, I upvoted you. My upvote is currently worth $.03 The worth of your vote is determined by the successfulness of your account and how much Steem, Steem power, and Steem dollars you have. You won't have access to that $.03 for a few days, but when you do it goes to your account and eventually you gain more power of voting and influence. The more you're worth, the more your vote is worth. Make sense?
