Hey @bulleth,
I agree with everything you have said here. The witnesses are supposed to be the Voice of the people not the voice of themselves.
Even my own life is changed and I can sustain a Clinic run on the blockchain with less than $10 per day just because of the SBD prices.
If anything happens to those prices, then our free services may be affected. I myself ain't earning anything from running @air-clinic. But I really don't care about earnings. All I care about is for people that are ill to get better.
There are so many witnesses that should rather spend their time supporting so many good courses on Steem. But they would rather support themselves.
Well, I don't blame them that much. They earn most of their income in Steem Power which they can power down at will. So they don't see that minnows, need this for survival.
I can't even count the surge in Signups during these SBD surge. Even if Steem gets to $100 it will only enrich those who are already here. The only way a newbie or minnow will benefit from this platform is via SBD payouts.
I will say this again, this time more emphatically;
The witnesses are supposed to be the Voice of the people not the voice of themselves.
Support Projects that make sense like @AIR-CLINIC...
Instead of campaigning for a crappy minnow economy.
This is exactly why the rich get richer and the poor, get poorer!
Thank you!
That is exactly why I'm against enforcing the peg right now. You need more time to earn and save money, so that you are not getting destroyed if the price falls.
@nairadaddy - that is exactly why I decided to become a Witness. In my Introduction Post, that I've created yesterday - which you can read here - I wrote about the reasons why I want to be a Witness.
And I wrote this:
Witnesses are able to BE THE CHANGE that Users are wishing for in Steem.
True, a forced peg is benefitial to the plattform - but it is destructive to the Users - and right now, the Users made Steem what it is today.
Yes, SteemitInc are doing their huge part - Hardforks, SMT's, Communities etc. but where does Utopian and dtube come from?
From the Users!
People like you and me.
Hey @therealwolf,
since you have this sort of ideologyand you are a freshly baked witness, I will love to invite you to Steemit health community aka #AIR-CLINIC. We can add you to the other witnesses we support in our 650+ discord members (& counting). Lets go bring good health & joy to all Steemians.
See link here: https://discord.gg/rqded5m. See yah!
BTW: You got my vote!
