RE: What is property? Is it defined by consensus?
That is what brought me to steem " the idea of true community control". But its fake here and is exactly a carbon copy of the fiat world with a crypto twist. All the fake Identities and folks who are outright abusive have never been dealt with. It's obvious that the MONEY matters and nothing else.
I dont think that is your perspective but facts are facts on the steem blockchain and greed reigns here most of the time.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I did not read that article before I replied to your post. That changed my perspective a little. I still think the ninja mined coins have forever tainted steem and should have been mitigated long ago.
I did sell all my steem at a huge loss. That would be the cause of me not being able to let you know I care.
Funny how it is just like the Fiat world where capital and who you know is all that matters.
What does "true community control" actually mean? Is it one person, one vote? Do those who put in more effort or more resources get more say?
Governance is not an easy thing to get right. I agree, much of the world (both fiat and cryptocurrency) has aspects of plutocracy at its core. How are we to improve on that in a meaningful way?
To some, money matters and nothing else. To others, this is their home on the blockchain and they want it protected. They don't want an outsider with a lot of money taking over without their consent. This temporary code change allows for time to discuss what the real intentions are.
Forgive me for the late reply Luke I just have been busy with spring coming here.
With so many extra accounts and the ability of one account to control all its impossible because of poverty and greed.
We are all corrupted by what we desire ourselves and Love is not the rule.
That is the core problem.
I am not sure you can write code to fix that. I will consider all your questions more thoughtfully and write a post in reply.
Cool. Reply with a link when you get it posted. Thanks!

I just remembered I told you I would reply. I hope you are well. Is there a better plan in place to fix this mess.
