The human part - the community that is rewarding quality is of course great. I have seen that in the most corrupt and politically defunct places.

But when any old tosser can buy himself a position of power that is above these efforts it is a flaw... and it can't be repaired by good efforts... at least if the goal really was proof of work. Justin Sun is just a late example of this. It existed all along.

I have already read both pros and cons on the Justin Sun case and it seems that what it all sums up to is that the system can be compromised bigtime, but I would like to hear your version. Why hold it to yourself if you have a lot to say? Hopefully not because of the Steem/Hive flaws that I am mentioning above.
