New users need Resource Credits to operate on the blockchain.
To get RC's right now you either need to buy STEEMPOWER or lease it.
Buying RC's in the form of (your own) Steem Power is still fairly possible with STEEM at 80 cents.
If you need a 100SP that will set you back $80 which is ok for most.
Now when STEEM goes up in the future lets say to $80 that same amount of 100 SP will set you back $8000 dollars.
That's a problem.
Luckily new users don't need SP they only need to have RC's in their account to operate on the blockchain.
How will they get these RC's?
Two ways I could think off.
Delegated RC's from projects or High SP holders to new users.
Lowering the cost of RC's with an increase in STEEM price. (when 1 STEEM is $80 and it buys you the same amount of RC's as 100 STEEM at 80 cents that could compensate)
These are some of the questions and ideas I'm thinking about and I talk about it more in my vlog.
