Leasing on Steem is the future.

0.000 HBDLeasing on Steem is the future.
 ----- STEEM is still affordable today. I personally don't think this will last forever. I picked up some more this morning and quietly, yet consistently, grow my SP in the background. When the price reverses STEEM will be too expensive to buy for most individuals and startups is my simple reasoning *(It will be for me)*. And maybe that's already the case, I don't know for sure. When STEEM becomes too expensive, leasing STEEM will become the norm. It's inevitable when Steem succeeds. Why? When I look at the total supply of STEEM and compare it to my own account I know there is only enough STEEM to form 1521 @exyle accounts. We already have 50k active accounts today. And I expect this number to grow substantially in the years to come. Especially now that we have successful apps and communities with revenue models forming on Steem. What I do know is that all Steem accounts today and future accounts need a little bit of STEEM to operate on the blockchain. Staked STEEM (steempower) provides the Resource Credits an account needs to make transactions on Steem. If I want Steem to grow I (and many other Steemians) will be forced to lease our STEEM, otherwise not enough people can join the blockchain. (*side note: you never thought you would become an investor? Sorry to bring it to you, you will become one because you blogged about your cat for the last 3 years earning STEEM, if you never sold that STEEM of course*). Leasing STEEM is already happening today. There is a nice service build by @buildteam for exactly that purpose. It's called Dlease.io. ------  ------ I tried the service out by leasing 1000SP to a Steemian and it works great. Every day I get a payout for the lease and by the end of the lease, I will get my Steempower back or I can renew the lease. By leasing my STEEM to a Steemian, that person now gets access to RC's to operate for free on the Steem Blockchain. How much RC's an account need depends on what type of account we dealing with. I can imagine that a business account that wants to fill a (future) RC pool will want to lease more STEEM than an individual. But RC's they will all need none the less. What also makes a huge difference is the price of STEEM. I expect the amount of RC's for actions on the blockchain to come down when the price of STEEM goes up. That means a Steemian will need to stake less STEEM to transact on the blockchain but price-wise it will cost the same. When this happens I will be able to increase the number of leases. I think that's pretty cool. Now, do remember this is all future talk. *(But my STEEM investment doesn't live in the now)*. I'm fully aware that a person leasing STEEM today might use it to maximize ROI and upvote themselves 10 times a day. It's not about that. It's about the fact that the infrastructure for my future vision is being built today. Not by me, not by Steemit Inc. but by another third party that sees it too. And don't think this leasing vision is too far fetched. When I look at the card game Splinterlands I already see users that figured out really fast that leasing cards to play the game is way cheaper than actually buying the cards. It also carries less risk. Users are using these cards to compete in tournaments and earning DEC tokens. Earning more than the costs of the lease of the cards. It's win-win. The same will happen to Steem in the vision I have. When leasing STEEM to operate on the Steem blockchain allows businesses/people to earn more on the blockchain doing X than the lease costs they will lease it. It just makes sense to me. ---- https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWG7QanG3ZEgJQ4SiLkyQ5BKtxGU7jrrnwDTqsz3r177/Logo_Side-by_side_1000.png --- #### I am part of witness [@blockbrothers](https://steemit.com/@blockbrothers).
