i tried to find out what happened to BCH... and now i kinda know?
HIVE / STEEM is weird because it decided on a model of paying new posts out of an imaginary pool instead of deducting a bit from each person's account.
It makes people "feel" like they are getting wealthier while stealing a bit from them each post.
Its all a trick of numbers.
But what i really hated in STEEM was that a small group wanted to keep all the pool for themselves, and got really indignant when the price went up and lots of people suddenly made it past the 2¢ line and started getting paid.
