Don't ask and don't tell probably is the best answer. It is still foggy to me but from reading the White Paper the way I understand it is there are three currencies which somehow feed off of each other. Correct me if I'm wrong here but Steem is inflationary by 100% per year. Steem Dollars are tied to the US Dollar, and Steem Power is inflationary by 10% per year but you can't sell it for two years. So users who hold Steem basically pay a 50% tax per year that could be used for payouts. Steem Power sounds like a fractional reserve system where you pay 10% interest for the privlidge of letting them hold your money for two years. It sounds basically like a jackpot system from what I can figure. You pay into the system and then post and hope to win the jackpot. My biggest concern is how is the Steem going to continue to double every year? That does not sound sustainable to me. Don't get me wrong. It's brilliant.
