Yep that's correct, as i said in a previous post. short term steem price is likely to go up, however when growth of the platform hits the limit there will be nothing to offset the 100% yearly inflation , i suspect we won't even have to wait for this limit to be reached because buy support today is way too low to compensate for the 100% inflation, the only reason price does nt drop now is because people are hoarding, the crash wont be pretty when everyone realize this is similar to a ponzi

You are wrong in this, yearly inflation is 10% or less. Growth doesn't need to be more than 10% per year to offset this. The fact that the less than 10% of STEEM that is liquid is inflationary/debased/whatever by 100% doesn't affect the STEEM POWER holders that recieve new coins every year, cheaper but more coins that as a sum somewhat protect you from inflation, bitcoin had the same inflation too.

wait..what you are saying is that steem power holders are protected from inflation because the system creates even more inflation, do you realize that when steem print more coins it makes yours worth less?  You and everyone else are blinded by the fact that your steem power balance keeps increasing and failto understand that your balance is actually decreasing in value overtime because it is pegged to the steem value 1:1,  what happens when 1 steem is worth 0.00000001$ ?
