RE: A whale story ... my story ! [The whale experiment, its downvotes and ugly face]
I think we need to split voting power and curation awards. Give the masses the power to vote but give the higher curation rewards to those who invest. That will encourage a growth of new users and will also encourage people to invest.
I feel like the system is already incentivising ppl to buy more steem or if they can't afford it, invest time to gain steem with the rewards.
Someone who don't want to invest money nor time shouldn't be rewarded. The system is ok.
To become a whale is as easy as posting good content blogs, grow a followers base, cash in everything in SP, keep doing it until your SP multiply by 10 with the growth of Steem and that's it .... you are a whale. Anyone here while a couple of hours a day can potentially be a whale before the end of this year. As I see it, the system is pretty cool !
Oh I agree the system is cool. I'm one the people posting, working his way to become a whale. I just thing most people, in general, will not buy steem or they will buy a small amount and the success of the site will come from it being used by millions. Once that happens the price will go up and you can also bring in ad revenue. So I think if new users see quicker results to their work it would lead to a faster influx. Ya it might hurt the chance of people investing at the start but once you have the numbers, the sky is the limit.
