Well, it would still have potential legal problems. As it's said in the link:

  • Do not sell currency directly to others
  • Aways sell through a regulated exchange.

This is basically happening right now. Steemit is selling to fund the development. Price is low, so anybody who wants to invest in Steem can do it relatively cheap. From a redistribution perspective, isn't this a good thing?

It should be also noted that decentralization is not a good thing for a new project (and maybe not good even for a matured project!). Too much decentralization will cause bad problems and it could even stop the development.

I've written about it here: https://steemit.com/dao/@samupaha/how-to-design-efficient-and-resilient-dao

Correct. I have no problem with a small pre-mine in principle to cover initial costs, but now the whale SP is too top heavy, and as the whales sell off, the demand is not there. Newbies want to EARN Steem (just look at the marketing for joining up) not buy Steem. A tough gig for the Steemit marketing people here. Where are they if everything is so centralized??
