ADSactly - Steem Witness
crta.png

STEEM witness is a cool name for someone running a server of STEEM blockchain. There are 127 of them at this moment, with top 20 machines doing most of the job and owners having the most influence on the future of Steem. The positions of witnesses are chosen by the amount and strength of your votes.

The more STEEM POWER you have, the more will your vote count. One can picture it as parliament elections, except votes don't count equal. It is fair because the people who invested more in the platform have a greater say in choosing the witnesses.

This voting system also denies classical principles of democracy where a vote of a heroin addict counts the same as a vote of a Nobel prize-winning professor but that dubious fact is outside of the scope of this article. The witness system is a proof of decentralized blockchain where no Zuckerberg or Gates or Buffet or whomever else with a golden key can rule the place in a monarchical style.**

Every witness in the STEEM ecosystem usually writes a 'witness proposal' and posts it on the witness profile. The witness proposal is a statement of intentions and display of overall direction toward which a witness will steer in the future. Why is this important, you may ask? Well, because the witnesses have joined power to 'tweak' the blockchain and if the majority of them agrees a 'hardfork' is a go. Hardfork is STEEM blockchain update and, immediately as implemented, it defines the future of us all. So, yes, just like in real life, you should be aware and vigilant as to who your witnesses are and what they stand for. An example of a witness proposal of ADSactly Society's witness is here:

The latest idea for the STEEM, discussed by the witnesses was to forcibly make 1SBD worth 1USD (called pegging one SBD to one USD). @adsactly-witness strongly stands against pegging and sees this idea as an extremely dangerous one for the future of the platform. If this idea passes in some scenario, your SBD income will decrease 4-5 times in value. We are against it and ask you to help us watch for your best interest.

i vote for this witness since some time

I understand that SBD was designed to represent roughly 1 USD. This was a good starting point. However, over time a seemingly valueless SBD has grown to have a much larger value than ever anticipated even surpassing Steem itself. I think that in some ways this is a reflection on the value of good conten on the platform and the power SBD has through multiple facites to eventually be transferred to Steem. If we force a pegged value on SBD then we are saying that the good content here is now less valuable. What does that say to the people that work hard to produce that content? Furthermore, we are already dealing with a huge disparity between the haves and have nots here. It is hard enough now for minnows like me an many others to get traction and grow. If we have our rewards cut 4 times then we will never see positive growth. This would only serve to keep the power players in full control. Let the platform and the market decide!

Thank you for the comment, we agree that the market should dictate, and high rewards will attract more bloggers, in our opinion.

This SBD pegging is a crucial point for all of the authors on the platform here, especially those making a living posting on steemit - so even though it requires some reading and thought - I implore every person who cares about the platform growth but also for their revenues to consider voting for the ADSactly witness.

Right now - it seems that the wind is blowing in the pegging direction among the top 20 witnesses, so the best thing we can do is promote the witnesses that support our view, and the ADSactly witness is one of the strongest advocates of keeping things the way they are now.

Even if you filled all of your 30 votes - consider unvoting a pegging supporter and voting for our cause, this is exactly the meaning of witness voting - promoting the platform in the direction we vision it.

If SBD is not pegged in some way to a fiat currency is there any point for having it. What's the difference between SBD and STEEM in that case?

Thanks for the comment, it's a pretty in-depth debate, we would recommend you read both sides of the discussion. We recommend these here and here.

I hate the idea of SBD to be held at $1 to 1 ratio. Let the decentralized market decide. I’m definitely going to vote for you as a witness. And I actualy just did.

Thank you for your support.

I support adsactly, no pegging let SBD grow in value. Big thanks for watching out on our interest and you have my vote adsactly

We appreciate it, thank you.

I support @adsactly-witness.. SBD is pegged to not go below USD, not to follow it strictly.

I have to watch and wait a little longer, before making a decision.

Thank you for your consideration.

Forcingly pegging 1 SBD to 1 USD would be a really bad idea in my opinion.
