Interesting move @pharesim.
I personally value witnesses the most who are actively developing for Steem and / or are very experienced in blockchain & IT.
And that's also what I myself strive for.
Steem will only then have a chance against competition from other blockchains â EOS & co - when enough developers are actively working on improving Steem. Especially on the blockchain level.
That's why I'm diving into c++ right now - to be able to review hardforks and also to work on Steem - besides creating 3rd party applications like the Steem Messenger & Smartsteem (yes - it's a voting-service, but a smart one ;) )
Now while I vote primarly for developer witnesses - I also vote for jerry as he is one of the most positive and energetic steemians I know. That said - I don't like everything he does, but the same goes for many other steemians.
The vote might change in the future, but def. not after this post - even though I respect your decision!
Fair enougth, and keep it up @therealwolf.
D.
For what it's worth I too voted for Jerry for the same reason, but after learning some things about him. The kind of things that don't get posted to the blockchain I've come to the conclusion that he lacks the understanding of the word loyalty and to me that is something I can't ignore.
It reminds me a bit of the story of the frog and the scorpion. (maybe you've heard of the fable)
Thats why you have my vote, I like how you approach the ecosystem.
