I think history and personal experience bears out the idea that self interest is not only the natural inclination for us, but sadly for a majority it is taken to extremes that harm ones actual self interest. This experiment itself is proof on the shortsighted preferences of the masses. And I do mean masses, not talking of the whales here. If the masses who came had ever thought to invest an amount equal to their weekly coffee or work lunches the valuation would never have tanked.
I remember when the dust sweeper program came along, and I watched as those who rewarded way above dust minimized their votes to dust under the assumption it should be the person they were interacting with to ensure there was a payout. Speaking of dust, I see it is saying my vote on your comment is worthless. It already was at dust, but Steemworld still shows it worth .01.
Please don't waste your vote on anymore of my comments. Or if so, maybe what I will begin doing and vote symbolically at 1% voting strength.
I read you loud and clear, and many times capitalism does go to the extreme where it becomes harmful and socialism too. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if they're not polar ends of the same system.

No worries on the comment votes bro, don't feel compelled to vote on my replies. I like to vote on all the comments I receive because I appreciate the interaction and feedback on my posts. You're the one doing me a favor by sharing your thoughts!
Any system that perpetuates wage slavery is different only in its labels.
Here is a book that offers an alternative the people that have controlled what info you have received did not want you to read.
Thank you @freebornangel, I will look into the communist-anarchism information.
