RE: Remembering the Whale Experiment - Thinking About Distribution

in #discussion6 years ago (edited)

Wealth distributions have a tendency to behave like a Pareto distributions. This means that few people control most of the wealth. So the distribution is very lopsided. You can even the distributions by introducing a tax which increases in relation to the total wealth that somebody has.

So maybe a tax-type system would be suitable for the platform. Of course this yields the problem that dishonest users might split their wealth over many accounts which are in a lower tax bracket.

Sort:  

Call it a tax and watch the drama hit the fan! lol. Nah, I think as we have this conversation we will just have to wait for the crash or the pump that helps distribute Steem. There isn't a fair way to get more steem in more hands. We will likely sit and spin for a while on the current distribution.

Anyone, like myself who is frustrated with it can buy in.
