If you don't like it, fork it out of the code. Make it so that all votes are equal regardless of your investment.
Because that has anything what so ever to the question regarding what you perceive as A Utility from Steem.
I'm not saying it is sustainable, but this is what Steem is, it's how they coded it. In order to give their token a market value, they had to give it a utility and that utility was you can draw more rewards if you own more Steem.
False. Owning Steem doesn't draw you any, ANY rewards. Locking up your Steem does.
Good point. A utility is a state or quality of being useful. The only reason I can think of for investing in Steem is the bigger upvote, that would be it's utility to me. A bigger upvote allows you to reward yourself more. It used to be right next to the publish button, there was an upvote post button to save you the extra step of upvoting it after you published.
True, but yeah powering-up is the next logical step to get there. Powered-up Steem has merit because it takes longer for it to go back to the market. Now if you show someone with powered up Steem that you won't respect the merit of their upvotes, it gives them good reason to dump their stake to the market which drives prices down.
Yeah, I've seen you tell large stakeholders to fuck off in more or less words, and you've got very little invested here. So, I'm sure you don't care whether they dump to the market or not. In the end when it's downvote happy whales holding the bag and nobody else cares to buy in because they've soured people to the experience, than I guess it's tough titties for them when the musics over.
I may not be heavily invested but I'm certainly not chasing away stakeholders with negative voting. Don't worry, you'll figure it out when Steem drops below a penny, that communism/socialism fails yet again. It's never going to work dude; never. gonna. happen. What it matters is, it doesn't matter how many people you shoo away from the platform or scare to the market, you're not going to take a substantial hit.
Reward redistribution is socialism.
Point is the first interface added reward disputes after they realized their wasn't shit they could do to get people from abusing the flag tool. Since then, they've slowly been trying to manipulate the behavior of users into one of your communist dystopias. People going to hate it, nobody's going to buy Steem now. Sell me on a reason to buy Steem.
Creating an acronym from a few words, doesn't nullify their merit.
Now, that's just hand waving.
(A.) Your attempt at insult means nothing to me.
(B.) My FUD has transformith itself to CAT
Courage, Assuredness, Talkative.
Magical right, I made an acronym. I guess that means
you should stop the HODL and sell, because acronym.
