I didn't really get the point of Steem Power. Why should i use her only after 2 or 3 years.
And where that money come from when upvoting !!!!???
Could anyone response me please

Why you should use it full after 2 years? Because that are Steem protocol rules. You cant set your own rules for currency you use. I think once you can power down once a week and in 2 years you can fully power down. so like 1% a week ( i never actually read in whitepaper but from what read on forums).

Steem power you get when you publish article and people vote them come from issuing Steem. Similar as BTC gets crated with mining during PoW here Steem gets created and is given to article creators that forum community loves them.

Is funny that Steem is actually an communication platform same as this forum, but they cant present this simple infos to their members.

My thought exactly. I made the mistake of buying SP thinking I would get some good return. I didn't do it to have some voting influence , I did because I thought that's where I would get the most return. Now I have my money locked for years in an inflationary currency. I got fooled by the ever increasing amount of SP.

I am guessing here. But could you sell Steem power to someone without powering it down? Someone send you BTC and you donate him Steem power on the forum. Can this be possible?
