No I think they cash out their payouts and are forced to hold 50% in SP. I doubt anyone is converting STEEM to SP.
A lot of the criticism in this thread assumes that the majority of users will think like speculators or day traders...
In any case, it doesn't matter if they don't learn how to game their SP, those who are learning to game the SP voting are the ones who drive the quality of the content curation to shit. Those who learn to be economically relevant have the most impact.
The holders of SP have a strong economic incentive to ensure that the content is of a high quality. If you own enough SP to make significant amounts from voting, and influence the reward of posts, you have more to lose by the site turning to shit than you stand to gain by "voting perfectly."
People are motivated by their own balance. They can't control the site wide outcome. They will try to vote for the blog posts that have the most votes so they earn the most curation rewards, which is the winning game theory strategy. Dufus.
Money talks. Over time users will discuss and learn how to maximize their curation rewards. Humans are like that. We have big brains. And we are self-interested.
This thread is like a case study in how the crypto community is full of folks who want to take a position and argue without understanding the subject matter.
Pompous ass. We (collectively as a community) may know more than you. Don't assume. Discuss.
