RE: Why STEEM will probably continue to drop in price

in #steemit9 years ago

You don't hold anything "in the website." Steem Power, Steem, and Steem Backed Dollars all exist as native tokens tracked on the chain controlled by your private keys. You can use the CLI wallet, the website, paper wallets, or any other available tool for managing those keys. You do not have to trust anyone else with your keys to power up. You can power up with CLI and then use only your posting key on the website, so you get both the security and the convenience.

ok, thanks for the explanation

what backs the steem dollar? I mean if thier is a unlimited supply, does not that mean they will eventually be watered down as opposed to Bitcoin which breaks into smaller pieces leading to more value?

great explanation
