RE: Steem Total Value Powered Up - $67 million - August 6, 2021

I have been noticing that these posts generate a lot of attention and comments lately, and so I'm finally stopping by to see what all the excitement is about. Yes, I know it's important as an individual to Power Up because it allows for better voting value, and you gain interest on staked token, but I never thought about what value all of this Powering Up has globally. Is there a benefit, beyond the individual one?
