RE: The disappearing middle class of Steemit, and how to fix it.
I feel like this is the sort of thing that should be voted on as a community, but when a select few hold the majority of power (like the 1% of wealth in the USA) how can you have a fair vote? It's a conundrum that to this point I don't think has been answered, but people have their votes small and large and some trust will be needed to help the community thrive.
Because they can't hold onto that power here. You are comparing this to things that have existed before. Nothing like Steemit ever has.
As soon as one of those wealthy people upvotes something they immediately impart substantial value to that upvote. I went from 11 steem power to over 200 today from a few such votes. None of my other posts have been so fortunate, but it does show that you CAN'T sit on the power and horde it here. If you take any form of action here it shares it.
Yes, you can. My steempower balance rises constantly. It's designed that way.
Oh yes it does. I've refreshed some Whale's wallets.
It doesn't go up near as fast as if they use it though.
And since when is it your right to tell another how they should act with their money, time? If they want to sit there... so what... how does that hurt you or anyone here?
As far as I can find out it doesn't hurt anyone. It might inspire envy in some people, but that's all I can think of.
