Hello @michaelpinson

I voted on my comment so you could see how much voting power for 173,702.222 Steem Power.
You can check my Wallet everybody can do that.

My Steem Power account was not reduced when I did the Vote. It never is but my Voting Power was reduced.
Your Voting Power is 61.25% at THE MOMENT. You can check it here:

"Is your reply vote $132.09 US dollars or $132.09 Steem Dollars?"

It is US dollar. The author get at least 75% , the voter (curation reward) is maximal 25%

I have bought more than US dollar 100,000.00 on the free market exchanges (bittrex.com).

Hope it gave some answers.
