RE: My own 2 cents about HF23 and PUBLIC WITNESS VOTING

in Project HOPE4 years ago

2 points that I'd like to respond to.

First, cancelling all our witness votes seems quite extreme. But if, as you say, that will prevent us from getting "targetted," then it might be advisable.As it is, I'll wait and see before I cancel any such votes.

Second, let's hope that having money in a bank is NOT safer than having Steem in our online wallets. With all the recent money-printing, any money we have in a bank could lose its value very quickly. And if the shit hits the fan, we could be denied access to our bank-held money – with the few clicks of the banker's mouse.

Thank you for being always so responsive and supportive with your comments @majes.tytyty

It surely does.

However can you imagine, that I've seen my own name listed recently on some post on hive? Post pointing out all users who 'shamefully' are apparently supporting "theft and injustice". Why? Turned out that simply because I've been having vote on SteemChiller (guy behind steemworld) and few others, who decided to stay on steemit.

Basically my impression is, that this entire voting system is a joke. Imagine democracy with everyone out ther having an access to see who you voted. And knowing that some people will bully you.

We also need to ask ourselfs a question: why do we vote? I myself don't know the answer any more.

Second, let's hope that having money in a bank is NOT safer than having Steem in our online wallets. With all the recent money-printing, any money we have in a bank could lose its value very quickly.

Indeed. Let's hope.

And if the shit hits the fan, we could be denied access to our bank-held money – with the few clicks of the banker's mouse.

Oh no. It's not just a few clicks. It's much more than that. Luckily for me - I've very little savings and I've morgage (within same bank) so if bank would susspend access to savings, then it's clear to me that my debts are also ... no more.

Take care of yourself, Piotr

Oh, I see your point. Yes, there are many cases where innocent steemers are vilified, scorned, and even attacked. Sometimes quite mercilessly.

That's definitely not good for the platform, and we should not allow or condone it.
