Now if I really think about it, I might indeed be tempted to get a few dollars worth of STMP just for the sake of downvoting potential BS and rewarding good stuff. And that actually gives STEEM some intrinsic value. That's funny. I never thought I would want any influence, let alone pay money for it. Maybe there are lots of others too who don't initially realize they want to exchange money for influence.

Now, suddenly, the business idea of steem starts to make sense. Actually, it might be brilliant!
