The STEEM Price affects your post payout?

Happy Friday Steemians!

As you can see above, the price of Steem dropped back down to 5.4$ but im not crying.
This post is related to my post yesterday about post payouts.

Basically I noticed the price of Steem going up and my payouts going down from 20$ on my one post all the way down to 16.80$.

When I checked again after seeing the price of Steem drop I noticed my payout had gone up again to 20$ so my assumption still stands "Payouts are tied to the peice of Steem" meaning the higher the price of Steem the lower the payouts per vote/post....

I get my first payout in 7 hours 😁 Super amped to power up my account

Has anyone else noticed this? This mean that when Steemit hits mainstream popularity, VOLUME (followers and upvotes) is going to be key to success. And of course networking with a few whales will do wonders but I dont see many whales mingling with the minnows when this platform blows up.....

As always I am interested to hear what you guys think leave a comment below and I will be sure to get back to you.
