RE: Steem Price is Down. Should You Be Worried?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Your suggestions are typical of those new to the platform.

If all votes were equal, there would be so much abuse the platform would not work. You have to reward stake.

There's one guy who runs a botring of 2890 bots. He posts a spam comment, like just the letter "a", then upvotes it 2900 times to make $3.

Do you know what would happened if that wasn't already controlled by stake weighting? Abuse until Steem is distributed widely, then becomes useless, like the currency of communist countries.

When everyone has it, or can easily get it, it is worth nothing.

PS - Yes, I self voted like a penny to order my comment up, that's all.

You do sound logical to me now, that bot point got me ...wow!!! Never thought that way, did that really?Thanks for the constructive effort!!!. Though i disagree with your commis point, nevermind!
i believe in brainstorming all side of thoughts. I would use steemit with or without a penny..... i think your effort does have value so here goes my upvote to you.

I'm being a little provocative with my terminology.

The truth is a little more stake for real minnows, that we could somehow keep from bots/abusers, would be great.

I just don't have any good suggestions for doing that, however. Maybe make the first 100SP that a user buys/earns give them 2x-10x the normal voting power?
