#  <center>The Price Is Tanking, When Will It Stop?</center>

When people see the price of anything drop, a certain percentage of them start to get worried.  This is a natural phenomenon and quite common in all financial markets.  

Steem and Steem dollars appear to be in a free-fall (exhibit A and exhibit B)

#  <center>Down 75% and 80% In Less Than 3 Months... Ohhh No!</center>

The drop in price is rather stunning... Steem has dropped from $8 down to $2  (that's a 75% butt-kicking). But the price of SBD's have dropped even more from $12.50 to below $2.50 (that's a cool 80% haircut in less that 3 months).

Is it time to panic???

#  <center>No Panic Necessary, This Is A Great Thing!</center>

This is a great thing (unless you are a whale) and I will tell you why.  The answer lies in how the system works, and how the Steem Power (SP) gets paid.  As you know, or should by now, SP is the way to keep track of how your "power".  Simply put, the more SP you have, the greater your influence and financial rewards.

So how does steem price crashing help us to get more power???

#  <center>Lower Price = More SP, Who Doesn't Want That?</center>

Here's 3 simple calculations to show how the system works:

#### <center>With steem at $8 (The HIGH)</center>
On a $1.00 upvote

Your SBD payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% or $0.375 sbd
Your SP payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% = $0.375/(steem price of $8) or ***$0.047 SP***

#### <center>With steem at $2 (NOW)</center>
On a $1.00 upvote

Your SBD payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% or $0.375 sbd
Your SP payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% = $0.375/(steem price of $2) or ***$0.188 SP***

#### <center>With steem at $0.50 (The GOAL)</center>
On a $1.00 upvote

Your SBD payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% or $0.375 sbd
Your SP payout would be $1.00 x 75% x 50% = $0.375/(steem price of $0.50) or ***$0.75 SP***

So what do you want from each $1 of upvote?  

Do you want the $0.047 SP on the highs, the current $0.188 SP now, or the future $0.75 SP if steem dropped to $0.50?  I personally would rather have 15x more SP for every post, so I'm rather happy to see the price go down ;)

#  <center>15x More SP For Every Upvote, That's Not Only Good Its Great!</center>

Next time you hear someone complaining about the price of steem dropping, just ask them this one question:

#### <center>Are You A Whale?</center>

Only whales want the price of steem to go higher because they already own enough.  Do you really own enough?  If not, then quit your bitching and get excited because the reset is going to be good for the people that understand this!

I'm excited to see it come down, and you should be too!  ;)
