They want to make people poor to satisfy their goals. People like me will have no choice but to power down and find other ways to make income aside from Steemit

Yeah, I know. It's a crazy and destructive idea and I hope it NEVER comes to fruition.
I'm powering down and leaving Steemit. If the witnesses get what they want and I'm sure they will get their 1$ SBD , then there will be huge consequences and it'll look like another Bitconnect. This isn't decentralized. Witnesses are like the Feds, having control over a market, the power to destroy it. If the reverse conversion happens, what makes you think they won't do the same for Steem to hyper inflate it? Lost of trust. I'm sorry, I loved Steem, Steemit in the beginning and had great times here, met great people like @steemitqa though to me Steemit is going downhill. It won't be just be me leaving, many others will
The witnesses want what's best for the platform long term. Why is this in question? To compare STEEM to Bitconnect is absurd. Witnesses can't "control the market." How would we? Why would we implement a policy the community doesn't want which then lose us our position as a Witness?
"They want to make people poor" is such a gross misrepresentation of reality. It's truly discouraging to see. Please, read my post again and understand I'm trying to make everyone here rich. A broken peg may not be the best way to do that, nor the best thing for those whose local currency is completely broken and they need something stable in order to build a functioning economy. Increasing the rewards pool by increasing the value of STEEM might be the best forward, especially if that speculative token has a stable place for them to store their value.
artificially controlling a market is never the answer
Which market is artificially controlled? Are you saying the pegged floor of SBD is a mistake and SBDs shouldn't exist at all?
Do you think bitUSD is an artificially controlled market or a well-functioning pegged asset backed by real collateral value?
I really don't understand where you're coming from. If you have some reasonable evidence to support your claims, I'd enjoy seeing it. All cryptocurrency markets get pushed around by whales, but you seem to be directly accusing witnesses of something nefarious. I want to know what that is.
