So...

Today, I did a little digging through the STEEM blockchain on steemd

It was a lot of fun.

I traced a few transfers through the system. Watched as STEEM changed accounts and exited the system through Steem Engine.

I checked out a few accounts that were created through delegation of STEEM. And watched as those accounts followed all the accounts of the delegator... obviously a second or third account to increase presence and influence.

I watched fast growing accounts purchase voting bots to grow even faster... quite fascinating.

Got my first down vote...

And I fell in love with the idea of the cheetah plagiarism bot.

Danger ahead. Maybe it's better to...

before I get carried away.
