RE: What am I missing?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

After thinking about this, I'm realizing that I now question the wisdom of making the investment to eventually power myself up to at least dolphin status just to make my vote more powerful. The founders, of course, can do what they want with their own platform. However, to have it rigged so stunningly to favor a particular type of political view or type of Internet celebrity does not bode well for the long term value of Steem. This is where I have to carefully consider my role in it as an investor. Up until today I assumed I'd direct resources toward powering up my account. Now I'm hitting the brakes. I like the influence powering up can buy, but I don't want to end up sitting on a huge stash of a worthless coin because it comes to be viewed as the coin of a very particular and small minority group.
