RE: The maximization curve
Vote value is tied to price too so if Steem was 1 dollar and the vote is worth 2 dollars, when steem is 10 the vote is 20. All things equal.
Let's say you go 50/50 reward. Sbd is always calculated at 1 remember.
Example without factoring curation and only one voter.
@ 1 dollar steem
A 2 dollar payout is 1 sbd and 1 steem
1 sbd can buy 1 more steem so the payout is worth 2 steem.
@ 10 dollar steem
A now 20 dollar payout is 10 sbd and 1 steem.
10 sbd can buy 1 steem so the payout is still worth 2 steem total.
However, obviously with the second example the sbd can be sold externally for 10x the value of the first.
Make sense?
I am trying to get there honest lol, I get lost at the point where I think steem was worth 0.7 cents, yet way back when, people were getting $1500 posts, without bidbots.
Now there is more steem on here, more people with over 500sp, yet the vote value is not enough to see those massive post returns.
Maybe the bots killed it, I do not know, though if steem was worth only 0.7cents which it was, and votes were worth a lot more, that is where it all gets lost on me.
If we reach 0.7 cents for steem and 0.10 for sbd, then will we have a broken system, or one that functions still, as when it was last at said point?
Sorry for so many questions, just trying to understand it all, thanks for being patient with me.
When Steem was 7 cents huge posts were around the 50 dollar mark. one of my few times in Trending was a 25 dollar post. If I remember it took a whale or two and curie to get me there. The massive posts at the start was because there were few users but they were distributing the whole pool. As more users come on with stake, there is less high reward. currently the bidbots are the only ones who can get posts to 1500 and that is stacked with multiple bots, never organic.
THe system is designed for essentially whatever price. if you remember not too far back SBD stopped printing. That was because of a debt system that ensures SBD won't get over produced as it is backed by Steem.
Essentially though from my perspective is, unless selling, don't worry too much about price (or payout values) and play your game well.
See, reading some Steem related material can help from time to time ;P
And oh did I feel that slap around the head all the way to Poland. :p
Thanks bro, your the man for stats. :-)
