What if a new user's (up)vote on a comment/post is (potentially) worth 0.001 STEEM?
Imagine if your vote was worth something other than $0.00 now or when you started out on steemit. Instead of seeing $0.00 and thinking that you are giving nothing. That instead that upvote from a new user was worth something. Understand that many of us can't have a vote worth $0.01. But what about having votes worth 0.001 STEEM?
That $0.01 in STEEM would be 0.1285 STEEM today. So instead of needing the STEEM POWER needed for a vote to be worth a penny. How about needing much less STEEM POWER to be able to share STEEM? Isn't that one of the basic main ideas of steem and steemit? That $0.01 could be divided up into like 100 more units of about 0.001 STEEM each. This would be a way for people to see themselves giving value to other users.
Imagine if you could vote on someone's post and actually see your vote adding 0.001 STEEM or more to their post and possibly comment too. If you are a small minnow or a new user wouldn't you like to be able to give someone a little STEEM when you vote on their content?
Also think people seeing that 0.001 STEEM instead of $0.00 would cause more thought to voting for newer and smaller users in some way. Then you could actually experience adding value to people's content through this simple visual experience.
As new users STEEM POWER grows that could see their vote worth more. Going up from 0.001 STEEM and not just sitting at $0.00 for month on end. Think new users seeing some type of growing value would provide valuable feedback and recognition. So wanted to share this for food for thought that I have been thinking about for quite a while now.
Added: Think it helps getting people thinking in terms of STEEM too. And seeing and earning STEEM instead of USD may lead to thinking about collecting and saving STEEM as opposed to seeing 'USD' and thinking about cashing out STEEM for 'USD" or other (fiat) currencies.
