Entitlement and lack of gratitude? I don't think so....
That wasn't my intention I was merely stating a few fundamentals given the context of a market and new investors wanting to get in. It's a very risky investment when you know that the amount of liquid stock is increasing at a compounded rate.
When we're looking at what was a 3-400 million dollar market cap the investors will need to have institutional size.
They'll look at the structure and immediately flag it in their heads as not having 'liquidity' and question why all the large holders are exiting. It's just common sense.
I may have been a bit theatrical to make a point. However the game theory of the proposals makes a lot of sense in the long run.
It's really shocking to me that nobody here seems to understand this or wants to actually acknowledge it. Nobody is going to invest if the initial investors are dumping Steem before the platform is even out of beta testing and is sustainable. Maybe it isn't common sense?
I apologise @wingz that comment wasn't really directed at you but at everybody on this thread arguing that whales should not be powering down.
If whales are to be "locked in" by any means more than the 2 years they already are, would discourage anybody else who might otherwise wish to participate.
Somebody else here said it already but if the system can't hold itself while whales power down then the system doesn't work.
