RE: Subscribe to Own and Curate to Create.
Currently there is a about 110 million liquid Steem floating about but it is possible that after the next hardfork or two, this amount begins to drastically reduce as the value of having it powered up and active outperforms the value of selling it on the market.
This is the holy grail isn't it?
... and while this is likely due to the increased curation rewards not being liquid, what is going to be of interest is whether the holders who are earning it will power it down to sell, or keep it powered up to increase their curation returns from supporting the growth of the platform.
Good point. I think penguinpablo covers that and so even a 'no increase' in powerdown totals would be a very good sign.
Yep. the other thing that is going to have an impact is that bidbots users have been powering down to get liquids to buy, and the bidbots have been distributing liquids to delegators, which makes it easier to sell. With CR, people actually have to powerdown, not take it from their liquid wallet.
