I am afraid that the situation will get much worse when Smart Media Tokens are launched.

That will likely increase the Steem network usage a lot, and it may rise the Steem price too.

The problem is that lots of Steem Power are held by bid voting services. That makes big amounts of RC unavailable for users, and it also distorts the rewards.

We need to fight those services to make Steem Power delegation much cheaper, so everyone can get enough RC. Rising the amount and duration of Steem Power delegations to new accounts would also help.
