In my conversations with MSP miss it appears that they will use their stakes to crush rampant self-upvoting. They both control much of the token distribution and their leader controls scot-bot so, as you point out, they have the power to shape the economy the way they want. Good heads up on that sell wall!
And, best of luck with that liquidity bot. Steem-engine needa market makers because many pairs just aren't that liquid!

Even if I never upvote myself I still get 50% curation kickback.
As someone who bought all my coins I may have a bit less stake than MSP admins,
but I don't have to follow any of the rules they've agreed to
because my stake wasn't airdropped onto my account for free.
All the moderators have agreed to certain restrictions like not selling for a year.
