May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Four: What Are The Top 5 Most Relevant Witnesses On Steemit? Why?

This is the fourth day of the May 30 days writing challenge proposed by @dragosroua. And here's my answer to today's question.

Today is a tough one for me. Not because the question is hard, it is just because I have not been paying too much attention to this part of Blockchain. It took me quite a while to believe in a social media platform where you could earn its cryptocurrency just by posting, voting and curating. After starting to experiment with it, I just could not understand where the money was coming from and how Delegated Proof of Stake consensus mechanism was working compared to Proof of Work consensus. When I finally understood what a witness was I just did not understand how the witness the voting process works. I still have a lot of questions about how that works but I have been reading posts from some of them and decided to give them my vote just because I follow them and think they have had certain influence at some moments of my landing into this platform. I am still was far away to be able to give a clear reason why I think they should be witnesses, I just at some point decided I wanted to give them my vote if that was valuable for them as I valued the information they were posting or they were helping me somehow.
