I could not disagree more. One of the main reasons that Steem has any value is that it represents INFLUENCE. More Steem equals more influence. People want influence so they want more Steem and are willing to pay for it (via work or via money). Hence, Steem has value. If you give everyone the exact same amount of influence on the network regardless of how much or how hard they've worked or how much money they have paid, then...why would anyone want to own Steem? It would lose value and the whole system would stop working.

They only foster community and that is valuable ;) (plus they can be upvoted by those that still have power in their votes!)
