Steem could hard fork to minimize whale’s power and have a better distribution of the steem token trough a more horizontal voting system.
Sorry I believe the bolded is an impossible option.
The only way would be to change from voting out of a shared pool of debasement to tipping from individual wallets, which is not a viable model.
Sorry IMO Steem is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And the rich are now growing richer on Steem.
One week does not a trend make. The longer trend is the opposite. At least, more data is needed before reaching such a conclusion.
Upvote, except the longer trend is also not certain.
Yes, the rich are getting richer and harder to catch... so in the future there will be fewer whales and the ones we have now will have more power.. this could become a problem in the future.
