I think the best way to prevent Whale Abuse was the old systsem of a 2 year power down. Whales, having their fortune locked in for 2 years, would be incentivized to do what is best for the community. Now that the power down is 13 weeks, I can see how Whales might act in that way.
That is a fair point.
2 years does seem ridiculous though. If a user makes a big living on Steem, and an emergency occurs, they should be able to pull out their funds in a halfway decent time.
Maybe 2 years with the ability to emergency pull out a percentage? Not sure how that would work though. Interesting thoughts though definitely.
Thanks!
I agree that a 2 year wait is rough. I went through more of your posts and I'm not sure that would solve the problem with that trouble maker.
Hey, any ideas are welcome. Never know what will spark the real remedy we can agree on!
