The roads in the Netherlands are free to use.
And by that, I mean mainly used by cars. Hence anybody has an equal right or privilege, in that respect.
Yet a car requires gasoline to run.
For most of us, it makes sense that an individual who drives their car for many miles a day would need more gasoline than someone else only driving short distances.
If this wasn't the case then all road users would have to contribute equally (includes piling up all the gas costs, divided by the amount of drivers).
In the end some will pay for the usage of others even though they don't drive that often and you can bet that some will most definitely abuse the system by driving more just because they can.
Now, apply this idea to the blockchain and it works just the same. Although substitute gasoline for resource credits.
A person who wants to use the blockchain a lot has to have more RC's (or Steempower) than a person that uses the blockchain to a lesser degree.
So if you are Jack the SPAMMER (power user), you will need more RC's than, say, a normal user.
Steempower (RC's) is way more flexible than gasoline.
However unlike gasoline which is a finite resource and disappears after being consumed, Steempower is not.
Steempower regenerates over time.
That's why it's considered a very powerful asset in the Steem eco-system.
Once you have acquired the right amount that you need you are done.
You can do everything you want to do in a day and again tomorrow without having to buy it over and over again.
Now, it's hard to tell how much a person needs. Some will only need 50SP a day and others may need 1000SP.
It also depends on how often you use the blockchain. Some will use it everyday whilst others will only use it every 3 days, for instance.
Some days you might use more RC's and some days less. But that's ok because on the days you don't use it much it regenerates for you.
Other cool things about RC's or STEEMPOWER is that you can lend it to others (delegate) for a fee or for free if you want to.
You can also sell your RC's (Powering down). Even after it's used!!
It's very flexible.
Right now RC's balance is still being sought. It's a process that's ongoing as I write this.
Some actions on the blockchain or too expensive and some are to cheap.
Try to look beyond the current troubles. It will be fixed and than RC's will become more balanced and with that more powerful and useful.
In the long run I think even more powerful than Voting Mana. (Renting RC's is the future in my opinion and will be more profitable than up-voting yourself or voting bots).
As an investor it makes me want to have more Steempower while it's still possible.
I believe this blockchain will be used by many many more businesses and communities in the future and they all will need RC's at some point.
Especially once they realise the power of tokenisation and SMT's are up and running!
