RE: How should Steemit Inc decentralize their stake?
redistribution downwards, away from the whales.
How do we address bot accounts that belong to whales that would have the ability to absorb a huge amount of this redistribution?
Surely selling on the exchanges - options 2 and 3 would similarly just create an influx of new Whale accounts.
I agree this would in fact create more whales as I believe that an influx would also drive the price down where whales can purchase huge lots of it and power up.
'airdrop the best steemians'.
Who gets to decide who are the best Steemians? Many think @BernieSanders is a Team layer. Many think @Joeparys and @JerryBanfield are team players however the 3 appear to be playing on different teams with very different views on STEEM and the way the reward pool is manipulated. So I have to ask again. Who decides?
The last two paragraphs I agree with and have no other input.
I never said it was going to be easy!
In fairness the bot accounts are something I hadn't even thought about, but if we were redistributing to the 'best' steemians, this wouldn't be an issue.
As to what counts as a 'team player' - totally right, that would have to be operationalized - as to who decides.. I wish I had more time to flesh out a few ideas... but if it's possible to figure out a way of ultimately getting people to vote where we can guarantee equal weighted voting and just one per genuine human that's interested in the long-term future of the platform that'd be great.
Finally, my own personal opinion is that these things are best discussed face to face as far as possible - I'd actually quite like to speak to Parys Banfield in person, assuming he has legs.
Not so much an answer as a very utopian wish-list I'm afraid.
