RE: The Great Steemit Debate: Tone Vays vs. Jeff Berwick "Ponzi Scheme or Paradigm Shift?"
Some of the whales don't care much about spreading upvotes equitably.
If they'd upvote more comments, shoot a couple hundred at more people, especially the ones with lots of posts and little attention, THOSE users would be the best way to bring in more people.
They'd tell their friends, they're friends will join once the see payout.
Not sure if the founders want steem to grow that quick. They're whales too.
Seems they'd be upvoting more actively if they cared to grow.
Could growing too much too fast devalue their stash? Probably.
That might explain it.
If the whales upvote, just for upvotings sake. - We might as well just call it Facebook.
You won't feel the same way when 0r if you ever become a whale - The more m0ney you have, the easier it is to make m0ney :)
Increasing the size of the platform does not devalue anyone's stash that is ridiculous. It is obvious to everyone that the way to make Steem/it successful is to grow the community. You could perhaps make an argument, as referenced in the video, that the most successful bloggers such as Jeff, if short-sighted, might want to reduce growth so they can continue to earn the very high early-adopter rewards they are getting now, but none of the whales with possible the exception of Dan fall in that category, nor do Jeff or most other successful bloggers appear to be that short-sighted.
