It is not all lost. INS for sure used voting farm and cheated. They have a very small community and nowhere in earth, they can manage 22K human votes. And, One can't use a vote farm to beat another vote farm. A Steem whale easily could have bought 10K votes.
If Netcoins review is fair (which they promised and reduced votes for VERGE and PACCoin earlier), then STEEM will be winner.
Thanks for sharing this info. I know there are ways to buy votes but didn't research further. INS sudden surge is indeed dubious. Let's see what happens in the end.
