I feel that rewarding others for hard work is one of the basic principles that Steemit was founded upon,<br> and to take that away from someone,<br> from anyone,<br> is not going to be good for the community.\n\nWe already have enough animosity towards the whales. If their sole purpose became *removing rewards*,<br> it would cause a huge divide,<br> and everyone who gets their content downvoted will be out there making another post about whale hunting.\n\nOne other thing I would mention,<br> is that it isn't 99.8% of users who lack incentive to buy STEEM power. The remaining 0.2% have so much of it that they don't need any more,<br> and are much more inclined to be selling their STEEM rather than buying more of it. This means,<br> it's technically 0% of informed users who have incentive to buy STEEM and power up.\n\nI mentioned on a post a couple months ago that if users who powered up over '*x* amount' per month received some sort of premium service,<br> then demand would surely see a rise,<br> supposing those incentives were attractive enough. It would have to be things that offer an advantage worthy of their investment,<br> so perhaps 10 tags per post and the ability to *renew*(make a post appear at the top of the new list for a second time) one post a day. Slower voting power depletion could also be an option.\n\nI feel this type of incentive would increase STEEM power holdings as well as STEEM demand and have a dramatic effect on the value of STEEM.\n\nI digressed somewhat there. My point was,<br> you have made some excellent proposals. I would just try and find an alternative to the whales becoming little more than payout-police.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"steem\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
