Steem has several types of tokens, Steem, Steem Dollars (SBD), and Steem Power (a denomination of VESTS). Steem and steem dollars are liquid while steem power is not.

When you are paid on the website Steemit, you can choose to be paid 50% in STEEM Power and 50% in STEEM Dollars, or 100% in steem power. Here's an example of a 50/50 payout: If you earn $200 on a post, you will get $100 STEEM Dollars, and 50 STEEM Power (assuming STEEM Power is worth $2 each, at the current time).

It's also possible to receive STEEM tokens through other means, such as VESTS through mining (valid until January 2017), or transferring Steem Dollars to someone via STEEM Memo.

STEEM

Steem is the standard Cryptocurrency tradable on various exchanges. Its value can fluctuate just like any other coin.

VESTS (Steem Power)

VESTS are a type of token given to miners, witnesses and content creators and curators. They are denominated as Steem Power on the website Steemit.

They are non-liquid, thus must be "powered down" before being able to trade them. Powering down Steem Power (VESTS) takes 3 months, and is paid out as 13 weekly payments. The power down rate will stay the same if you earn more STEEM Power while powering down, thus it's recommended to re-power down after earning a large amount of fresh STEEM Power.

STEEM Power gains interest over time, and usually gains interest faster than the power down rate, thus you will still be earning interest while powering down.
