RE: Idea on how to save Steem & Steemit......and put it back on track for reaching it's potential
I understand that they are supporting some projects and individuals with delegation....@surpassinggoogle and @misterdelegation
I have no idea what they are doing with the Powered down Steem.
Primarily what I would like to see is an absolute acknowledgement that the Steemit.inc account was, is and will always be a community resource that Steemit.inc is temporarily providing custodianship for.
Then acknowledgement that the steemit account could be far better utilised for community benefit than it currently is, most importantly in the area of abuse moderation, secondarily in the supporting of positive curation for a broad selection of interests/communities.
Then absolute commitment to a strategy for implementing a community driven and controlled effort to delegate SP to community elected abuse researchers/moderators acting according to community derived guidelines.
Then absolute commitment to a strategy for implementing a community driven and controlled effort to divest the steemit.inc SP into the hands of community members that are earning the rewards by adding value to the Steem community according to community derived guidelines.
I would expect clarity on exactly how much stake all that would involve and I would hope it included at least 90% of the steemit.inc controlled SP which includes more than just the steemit account.
I'm not asking for much am i? Lol. The only reason i'm asking for this is because I believe it is the only way Steem and Steemit will survive. If we don't make a decisive effort to ensure Steem's survival, then all this will only ever be an experiment that was able primarily to enrich a handful of accounts that were early adopters or accounts prepared to exploit it's flaws.
You make some excellent points and I don't see anything unreasonable.
One potential issue that I see with divesting so much Steem is that anyone with a lot of money e.g. a bad actor or actors could buy a lot of it and we may end up in a worse situation?
We do need a plan and some certainty.
So the plan for divesting is urgent, but there is no need for the actual rate to be any faster than the time it takes to genuinely earn combined with a strategy for ensuring market stability. There are future steemians talents out there who need time to join in and earn some of the SP.
