My thinking is it keeps people engaged and working on projects for STEEM. Otherwise so much talent just leaves like Partiko or Share2Steem ....etc. Crypto investors like myself would have been engaged to pump a large majority of our funds into STEEM instead of other projects. And yeah the whole thing of just supporting witnesses is what I figured was going to happen with it. People see through it and the reasons mount of why not to invest here.
I am going to be coming out with news in the next few days that is a pretty interesting marketing opportunity for crypto. STEEM could have been at the for front of it but nahhh.... Sadly despite all the time I have spent on STEEM and promoting STEEM I never made any money from it because even the last entries I made were at $0.80 and $0.60 and the writing was on the wall that things were going to get much worse and I didn't have support.
Just think if investors like me got support and we would have put the money into STEEM and put our energy into STEEM. Multiply my purchases by thousands or tens of thousands pumping into STEEM...... but Nahh.... we didn't get support for our engagement or proposals.

This is only a few of my orders....... but instead of feeling like it is better to burn funds just think if people got more support how things would be different and where people allocated their investment. A lot of talent just leaves.
