RE: Clash of Steem
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
STEEM should be a neutral ground for everyone to come together who believes in the power of decentralised & monetized social media and who wants to build blockchain-powered apps via soft-consensus.
And this is the problem.The vast majority want absolute decentralisation based on themselves. No one cares about social media or use cases or creating a fairer global financial system, they just want to make as much money for them selves as possible. It's the greed and selfishness that's causing warfare as big stakeholders who don't understand that risky investments can fall as well as increase are too busy dictating to the rest what they will accept or not.
Your upvote/downvote analogy only holds true on a level playing field when both sides are evenly balanced.
Isn't personal sovereignty via stake actual decentralization? Atomic persons acting independently is the ultimate form of decentralization IMO. What else would you base decentralization on?
They can dictate all they wan't, it doesn't mean anybody has to listen. There are only two sides? It seems to me there are multiple camps, and balance gets achieved by various stakeholders coalescing in support of this and that. Sure there are a ton of rent seekers out there awed by wallet size who choose to coalesce with the group they feel will reward them the most in the short term, rather than taking a long term investment view, but that's a matter of personal integrity.
Short term or long term views are nothing to do with personal integrity rather personal circumstance.

I agree with you @nathen007
Every flag against an account that others have rewarded increases the eventual payout to the largest Stake holder. Its no wonder they went to so much trouble to create the flag war mentality complete with Chain of Command.
It amazes me that so many people are still falling for it. Protect the reward pool lol
