RE: Falling STEEM/SBD Price - Proposed Solution to the SBD Debt to Marketcap Ratio Problem
We need to do a better job recognizing these people and up-voting their content.
I'm sure there are others out there right now too, but @berniesanders is amazing at this. He has made so many Steemer's days by 'blessing' them and upvoting their posts.
that's the exact opposite of the solution!!
he didn't bless anybody; he skews the results and takes away the voting power of everybody else and that's why steemit doesn't work!!
the whales have a voting slider now; if they would put it on 1% and leave it there, they can still vote without fucking everything up
the whales are consuming 90% of the voting power and that's the problem!
if the whales were to stop voting (or at max 1%) then other people's vote will finally count, so good posts will get the rewards they deserve without votes from whales, people will have fun, commenting will be worthwhile etc ... but none of that is happening, because the whales can't accept that they're the ones that are now fucking everything up!

how many times to I have to repeat the same thing until you finally get it?
Yeah, I realized that was in there after I shared the link with you.. I know you have an issue with him. I don't share your view, but I do know he used to be different. He used to be one of the few whales that was actually spending time to truly curate and upvote posts that were underpaid but deserved to be making money. He still kind of does (through Curie), but it is not the same as before.
I see what you are saying. Basically you want the whales to stop using their influence. Whether I agree or disagree with you is irrelevant. It's not going to happen.
Also, the point of my post was basically knowing that there is not going to be a way to literally stop whales from using their influence, the best we can hope for is to make the case for them to use it in a way that we more agree with.
