Welcome! Personally this is my new favorite financial article about Steemit. There was a viral post talking about steempower being compounded but that was wrong.( https://steemit.com/interest/@bacchist/steem-power-interest-is-not-compound-interest ) Bacchist did a good job clearing that up. I think there are many misconceptions right now, but the knowledge of how things work will come to people in time.
