Good point, I think that time will heal many things in Steem ecosystem.

I agree. This is still early days and the more users the more the rewards are shared out. I think the real users will stay and the whole site will grow.

Yeah I am happy the reward is coming down. It was mad at the start. That's a nice jump in tribe tags.

The dwindling upvote value will surely continue but the good news is that it's later going to have a positive effect on the price

That is great news IMO. You have already covered all the points which are important so better if I shut up:)

Well, put together @flipstar!

The early users and whale are lucky to have that kind of post payouts. But today is a much more fairer reward distribution system.

My 400,000 Sports before worth around 12000 per vote. Now, it can't even reach 3k. Sad, but thinking the totality of the platform it is good.

But sadly, price is going down too.

I remebered how I contact a friend of mine on this high cite value and he explained it all to me like what you just said,  so the decrease  wasn't a surprise  to me anymore.

This is what I want. Less supply of tokens will increase demand and ultimately increased token value.

With the decrease in vote value this will lead to scarcity in tokens supply and which is good for a better price increase in the long-term

Yeah growth is something we should embrace, we can't avoid anyone abusing the system anywhere you go there are people like that but thanks to this article of yours even a single person might open their eyes and see the truth its a win for me

Yep, I do miss those days, but I was prepared for this so I wasn't shocked when it kept happening. Now hoping that in due time I'll be even more rewarded for not selling those tokens.

the market has a way of at times correcting itself regardless of how teeth grinding it can get,  glad you addressed this because I powered up 10k and then saw my vote dropped and was like..ummmm, but that will happen unless you stake huge amounts which also is a big gamble/risk....both strategies can work but it will cause mucho butthurt in the process :(   nice and real straightshooting post
