Now why do you need Steem Power?
You see, blockchains operate differently than let's say...Facebook. With Facebook, you can sign up for a free account and use all the bandwidth you want, because they sell ads to you, show ads to you and your information (as you have read in the news recently) is sold to the highest bidder.
Steem doesn't 'own' your account. You do.
And that account needs to be able to operate because there are no ads and no one is selling your information to anyone.
That requires resource credits (RC) or mana...And RC's need Steem Power!

hah man good one! this is a cute explanation of the gross mismanagement of SP resources by Steemit Inc and their inability to manage their own MANA and unused SP to delegate to new users for at least a few weeks, like they used to, but they just dont want to grow lol they dont want to do the hard work of finding the best people to manage their Delegation, its hard work lol no one wants to do it, but oh well, thanks to steem engine we can actually create the demand for steem lol

without steem engine tokens , no one would ever believe SMTs were even possible or able to be successful at all... lol now steem engine has proven that....

But hey I will go with this explanation for now lol, I really will, i resteemed and upvoted your post and I REALLy liek click track profit or whatever lol i bought the first 100 tokens on sale and just bought and staked a miner,

gave ya 6 CTP

If we need to convince people that they need to buy their own SP and that its because you "own" your account as opposed to facebook with ads (even tho steem has ads and can do all the stuff facebook does lol)

but "mana" (so dumb of a name lol i mean i got excited when i first heard it cuz i expected it mean there wa ssome grand master plan to gamify everything.... but was only disapointed... cuz if theyre gonna call it mana why not go full video game and rename SP your Level, and make vote power the health power and let players engaged in a flag war (1 mutual flag exchange detected) they trigger a court or jury or 12 associated steemians or maybe randomly chosen lol so funny to watch them battle it out and decide if the matter if serious enough to let them continue...
