RE: Why I Flag ozchartart
Maybe not for the small few, certainly not good for the masses.
It's like being sued by Bill Gates, do you A. Run out and hire a good lawyer? or B settle ASAP ?
No one in their right mind wants to jump in a whale war from scratch, you wouldn't either if you had to buy steem @ $.015
It would lead to large demand and price increases for STEEM. Even as a small investor you would enormously benefit from the resulting price increases.
This is not entirely hypothetical; apparently similar things have happened in games where spending money gives you an advantage leading to an "arms race" and very large revenues for the game.
Socially it may not be the best thing for the site but as an investor (of any size) that kind of demand would be nothing short of wonderful.
I think the true purpose of this site is an advanced war game. Time for me to get a day job so I can buy my way into being the whale that I already am in spirit.
In a sense, I personally think so. Not a violent or even malicious one really at most times, but a strategic melting pot for different ideas.
However, this is why I probably have to disagree with smooth, as he seemingly suggests that buying flag power . . .
. . . would necessarily be a good thing. If this is all this "war game" will be about, then it will be more boring than Risk and ultimately collapse.
