Most of the witnesses were still voting for 20% at the beginning of the year.
I couldn't find 30 witnesses that were voting for 10% or lower; so I had to upvote inactive witnesses.
It looks like more and more witnesses are waking up to the existential threat that HBD interest creates for the platform. Maybe they will realize that we shouldn't pay interest on HBD at all ... but I doubt that they will ever figure that out.
!PIZZA
from what i've understand only the % of the top 20 counts in the end. but i do have my witness on 10% since November when i started being a witness .
Ooops, I didn't see your name in the list when I was updating my votes.
I guess that is the problem with being a single issue voter. I stopped looking at the candidates and just at their position on my single issue.
Hopefully you will get in the top twenty.
BTW my opposition to the HBD interest is both practical and ideological. I had hoped that SteemIt/HIVE would be a platform for discussing monetary reform.
The Federal Reserve was designed in a way that allows rich banks to extract value from the community through a fractional reserve interest scheme. We foolishly added an interest scheme to HIVE.
I cannot, in good faith, direct people to platform to discuss reform. I hope that people realize that interest on the stable coin was a mistake.
What we've done so far is simply prove that crypto communities are apt to make the same mistakes as fiat currencies.
