Yeah, inflation is an interesting topic here, steem is one of the coins that produces coins daily and gives them out tho the users. Without some sort of inflation I am not sure how the reward pool would work.

The flagging system is a unique problem. Flagging spam and bad content is necessary I think, but If the bad content is being produced by whales, you flag is not going to do much. I don't think there is a perfect solution to this, but we do need to brainstorm to come up with a compromise.

I am glad you are enjoying the series.
