We need a constitution EOS style. Changes on the economic side of things cannot fix anything. People have exploited always and will exploit always.
We need set rules. A basic set of rules that offer a basis for us to govern ourselves or we will self destruct. And then the saying: thats why cant we have nice things will apply more then ever.
I respect fyrstikken. Hes here to make cash. We all are. But our actions do affect everything and some just dont care if Steem suceeds or fails. Hes looking at his bottom line more then anything. Who can blame him.
Hes one of the reasons that steem is where it is due to his investment.
We are all benefiting from his investment.
That is why we need rules that protect him and investments like his but also look for ways to protect the long term growth of Steem and the users that add creative value to steem. A way to keep the system protected from short term profit seekers.
We dont need a governing body but we need rules that empower the community and provide a way to keep this party going for a long time.
No argument from me there, my point however... at least the focus of this would be rant thingy is that the change must also be cultural, or the equivalent of cultural (lets call it that for now) because if we have people constantly powering down and cashing out...
if we have small accounts ignoring small accounts, thus never becoming middle class citizens sort of speak, the scales will always tip disproportionately to one side.
Do you know what is the percentage of people with very little steem power that have high reps. meaning, they won quite a bit of votes and just keep on cashing out, thus never entering the middle class bracket sort of speak.
its 1% turns out... Me, This dude, right here... this minnow account I use is a 1% that is crazy to me... im a tiny sand flea... and I'm a 1%
