RE: Can we reduce corruption/manipulation of the Steem chain.
Wouldn't hurt to try.
It would definitely add a lot more incentive for the governance to coordinate and work with all the investors much much much more as their positions would depend upon them much much much more.
After all, the voting system is in place to serve as a representative governance type of model.
Right now, a couple of million of SP even 5 million SP can't really make any real difference in the overall governance here.
So yeah, it could bring about some real changes as to how things work.
Glad to see people thinking constructively.
It would bring about a better representation of the electoral.
A few other things would need to be done along side this for the chain to resist a totalitarian rule.
It would also promote the constant motivation to consistently POWER UP if anyone really wants to have more of an influence on our governance.
That is another additional plus to your suggestion.
However I seriously doubt that anything will be accepted, as with real world politicians, those in power never let go of their power or reduce their power on their own.
So many people keep talking about "being different" to that of the real world governance, yet when put into a position do make a real difference, they are no different, in fact worse.
So I dare say it seems to have a lot more to do with "human nature" or some aspect of "human nature", but at the end of the day even that is an "excuse". It really comes down to the individuals in question.
