Hey @abitcoinskeptic, thanks for stopping by. @glory7 is a great guy, so I'm thankful to meet one of his friends!

To answer your questions:

I don't want to help a billionaire, but on the other hand, how do I know the guys that controlled Steem before weren't billionaires themselves? They were and always have been private and never revealed who they are, what their policies are, and how much money they have. So I would rather vote for the people that are least honest enough to "go on the record" by being revealed.

Thank you for your point about being bullied, and you are right it is very similar to elections.

As for who you vote for, I don't think you are selling out by proxying your vote. You paid for your Steem and you can vote it however you think is fit! I don't know him, but if you like him then that is a good reason to do so... Being nice is under-rated in life, I wish more people valued that as a trait to live by! :)

Thanks again for stopping by and nice to meet you!
