Thanks for the explication, Dan

To everybody who's holding steem power and is worried;

Your steem power are shares of the company's capital.

The steem dollars the guys are selling, are used to invest in steemit; they need to hire more staff and those people need to be paid, they need more office space, more computers, ever bigger and faster servers and so on ...

So, (as long that's what they're actually doing with the money and not snoring cocaine of hookers asses') that's why YOUR steem power is an investment.

The prices going down is just a temporarily effect of this being the early stages . While all it takes is 1 steemit story that makes it into the mainstream news cycle and BOOM 1.000.000 new users overnight; at some point that will happen, but ... before that happens the site needs to get better, a lot better, so ... that's why they need money; to pay for the developers that will make all of our wishes come true :D

(in other words; power up as much as you can, before steemit goes mainstream)
