The STEEM Power compounding is based on the STEEM inflation rate. Since this post was written (back in the early days of SteemIt) there has been a hard fork to reduce the STEEM inflation rate and set an upper limit to the amount of STEEM much like the BTC (except the STEEM limit is much higher).

With the inflation rate of STEEM reduced the compounding of STEEM Power is also reduced.

I agree with about the future of SteemIt and STEEM.

Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
