What people fail to realize is, the value of STEEM comes from it's users. And if they aren't happy, there is no value. It's why curation groups are actually among the most valuable things here, as they actually reward users, keeping them engaged and building steems value. The more this becomes about earning money, the less one will earn. Hope the "top witnesses" use their brains and realize this is true... Oh wait, they don't care.
