Where is your reference about the 6 dollar statement? The reward and curation functions are smooth increasing functions.  Also, it does not make sense to talk about dollars only VESTS matter.

The new reward function satisfies the same fundamental qualitative properties as the current reward function. It satisfies the indifference principle which makes it a viable function. See the posts in this account for the related theory -> https://steemit.com/@theoretical or this post for a recent version -> https://steemit.com/steem/@eonwarped/curves-did-you-know-zx412ln2
