Ah, so you'd get to vote more, and investors would get less, which would drastically lower the cost of Steem, rendering the platform useless.

Yep, I think communism still fails at everything as of 8/20/2017.

In other words, no, bad idea. Ridiculously bad idea. Epicly bad, useless idea of platform destruction.

more votes would still generate more money for a good content maker, investor would probably have more faith on the sound money and probably buy more. wouldn't they ? how would it be communism, we are not talkin about giving out to all, we are talking about generating currency with equal vigor and someone with good caliber would still earn more. lol....buddy? that is not communism!!!! are you self voting there?

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?

But then, what would be the incentive to buy more steem?

Buy out of confidence...real asset backed by real peoples vote ...like honey made by equal effort from bees...."that is value"...not because just i loaded up my account and my crappy click now generates 5 dollor where as it might take 100 clicks to generate that amount..?
Do you believe just because you have more money you have rights over money creation?
By this theory if justin biber watches a movie ...that should be equal to 20000 people worth on the box office

Maybe you are right. But what that means is that the whole Steem concept is broken.
I think it is not. I believe it needs some improvements.
