Hey @d00k13,
Thanks for your thoughts and analysis on my question. I think you covered all the possible points for why it may be worth, or not worth, doing this.
Also, this makes perfect sense to me:
Possibly people could be powering down to play the market or use the liquid Steem for votes? It would just return as profit to their account from votes and then continue the cycle all over again!
Very good point, and I can see how the cycle works here. Bigger funds, bigger cycle incentive!
Cheers man,
