Actually the vote worth continues to grow over the next days because Steem takes the average of 7 days from the price to calculate the votes. Everyday it should now rise. And you are right, now you can get more valuable upvotes because everybody has more vote worth. And finally: The higher the Steem the higher the SBD payout because all posts values are rising. Check out your recent posts and see foryourself how dramatically their value is going up. More SBD means more cash for all of us.

Here we go: My upvote just went to over $4. You are the first one to receive it. That's $24.47 in USD before curation and DTube shares. I think I am going crazy right now.
