You are absolutely right. This contest in Netcoins is a testimony that we are not a strong community in terms of size, when all the frontrunner and leading whales including Ned and blocktrades make a call and even offer good upvote size to the people, voting should have had like 30k+ at least. But we have only 11k so far. I wish we win at the end after scrutiny by Netcoins. Vergcoin voting are fake as far as today's votes are concerned.
In terms of community power, we have a long way to go and I think we have to rethink about it once again where do we stand.
I completely agreed. I am not sure if this is telling us what the real elephant in the room is - perhaps, steemit is not as active as a community as I would thought it to be. The numbers don’t make sense. I hope the fundamentals are still there.
