Hmmmm
So by looking at your dividend and knowIng the official dividend rate you can calculate the dividend reward per 1000 SP which is the earnings return on our investment?’

How do you know when your rewarded a dividend? Does the Steem come from the Dteem Inc wallet?

If not all the Steem is powered up, that increases our actual dividend?

So the dividends come from the inflation pool in proportion to how much Steem you have Powered up?

So could you use the actual dividend percent versus the stated dividend percent to reverse calculate the total amount of Steem powered up Yes?!

Hmmm
Just playing with proportions
2.9% is to 23k Steem
What 2.5% is to total powered up Steem

So Steem held by others on exchanges increases my dividend right?

Thanks
