I'm sorry smooth. But this is a horrible Idea. There are people in 3rd world countries that are working hard here on steem to earn enough to make a living. And here we go burning this money. Like it's nothing.
Now a more interesting idea would be to, not burn the money, but take the money, put it into an account as steem power. Then a project can be made where that SP is delegated to various groups on the platform that can help out those in places that need it.
That steem is power that can be used in a positive way to help people.
Let's not waste a chance to pay it forward.
"There are people in 3rd world countries that are working hard here on steem to earn enough to make a living."
This is not an argument, it's a SJW communist/socialist appeal for charity.
"it's a SJW communist/socialist appeal "
That is not an argument, that is an ad hominem appeal to emotion. Oddly in this case it's an appeal to lack of emotion or doucheiness some might say.
You can see it that way.
Or you can see it as an opportunity to help people that can in turn help others. They just need a push to get going.
I'm not really a fan of these projects that collect and manage SP/vote power (guilds, etc.). They just end up concentrating and centralizing power and influence, and have a history of leading to various forms of corruption, controversy and abuse. I would rather see individual people just voting their own vote power on whatever they feel adds the most value to the platform.
I certainly understand your concern.
But just burning money isn't the way to go. I feel as if that will hurt the little guy in the long run.
If you don't want this to be a guild. Why not make it a completely random as to who will get steem power delegated to for a short time? Where minnows can gain more influence and help the platform grow. Bring more people into the platform.
I just think that there's a better way to go about this. Where we can help people and not just burn the money.
