RE: What if STEEM POWER wouldn't increase your power?
The whole idea of Steemit is that it is a stake-weighted voting platform.
This is only a good thing, because who's better at deciding what's trending; 1 person or millions of people?
Well, individuals have different value systems, so I think letting the individual exercise individual influence is good. The collective called "1 million people" don't vote. Individuals do.
STEEM POWER doesn't impact your stake in the reward pool
You can NOT increase your influence without contributing to the network directly (releasing content or actively curating)
Under his hypothetical framework Steemit could never have even been born.
This idea would ultimately kill Steemit, in my view.
You're forgetting the fact that a malicious billionaire could kill SteemIt too. And what about if a large percentage of these whales keep self-voting or upvoting the same select authors all the time? A lot of situations in the current implementation will kill SteemIt too.
