@kawaiicrush - Did you look at the link? Do you know what is going on there? I don't think spamming comments and just agreeing with everything pro-Bernie and disagreeing with everything anti-Bernie is going to go a long ways. Who knows, who am I to say.

That being said. He is bringing up the question of why Oracle-D can upvote themselves for supposed development costs but he isn't allowed to.

Oracle-D received 2mill in delegation from STINC. This isn't a random whale, this is a group (http://oracle-d.com/) using their upvotes to pay costs. Same thing a lot of dApps do in one form or another to pay employees whether they self-upvote or take a beneficiary cut of content.

Not taking sides, it just seems that you didn't dig very deep into it or maybe just chose not to address it in your comments.

I am just a Mom who found Steemit through the censorship of YouTube. I love to laugh. Bernie makes me smile. I had no idea who Oracle D is.. it sounds like a planet from outer space.
All I know is people need to chill out.

@Oracle-D is one of the few projects on the Steem blockchain that it's sole intention is promoting Steem and working to increase it's value by bringing in investments from outside companies.

Basically, @Oracle-D is creating a gig-economy within the Steem blockchain to provide value to outside business and utilizing the Steem economy to reward those users.

Oracle-D isn't messing with Bernie, he just brought up the "self-voting" issue and showed what Oracle-D was doing to help pay for development costs.

(Edit: I didn't want to post the link, but feel free to refer to my blog where I interviewed Matt and Dylan (founders of Oracle-D), the replay was uploaded off the top of my head 10 days ago. )
