RE: Is this why the price of STEEM is struggling? STEEM Withdrawls 2017
Yep, total agreement. You're right: the 50/50 system is a spark of real genius, though maybe a subtle one that many people don't fully appreciate.
I have a tongue and cheek way if describing this: 'hunger proof'. Take the SBD to supplement your income and know that the rest is out of your reach unless you're willing to wait a significant amount of time for it.
Even if some immediate concern is up (bill is due, budgetary mishaps, or even an extreme case where you were literally starving (hungry) and your judgment was at its most altered), you aren't tempted to power down.
It's better than savings, and people are going to realize this.
