Most know this already, but for those that don't, Steem Power holders get 90% of the mining rewards, with the rest getting distributed to content creators and curators. Steem Power is also represented as Vests, since Vests take into account your inflation and better represent your "share" of Steem. Just go to http://steemd.com to see for yourself.
Vests are easier to understand when represented by MV or 1,000,000 vests. The cost of 1 MV, in terms of Steem, rises as Steem inflates.
So what's a million vests worth right now?
