RE: My Controversial idea for Steem Power- by Charlie Shrem
Very reasonable! Not only that but Steem Power in my opinion is the center weight of the Steem platform. It is the utility which can be used as a measure in the attention economy.
For example if I want to contact you maybe you can set it where either I have X amount of Steem Power, Y Reputation, or I pay you Z amount in Steem for your time. This could allow us to set up consulting networks and people can begin to barter, and offer services, where Steem Power and Reputation would signify how important a person is to the social network.
If a person has little to no Steem Power and has a low Reputation, maybe no one will want to add them as a friend until they either buy the Steem Power or earn it, and or build a Reputation.
