If upvoting increases as you are rewarded for upvoting posts that go on to get even more votes, which is like a betting game on being the early bird to be the first to vote for what will go on to be popular, viral, successful, huge; then, therefore, in theory, I would imagine that if there will be a second pool, then you will be rewarded to downvote and that the downvote power will increase in power, in weight, over time, in the same way that upvotes can increase and I would imagine that people could earn Steem money while downvoting and possibly could in theory upvote and downvote their own posts directly or at least indirectly through bots and other accounts and therefore win in double betting where either you win by picking the winner or the loser or you you win either way if you upvote and downvote posts to then get into a win-win situation where you win no matter what. Now, of course, not everybody would try to do that, but some could. So, what would be the effects and symptoms and results and consequences and everything from that? I'm not too sure exactly.

We need proof of mind for downvoters, and limitations on downvoting.
Also, people who do not post should not have the right to downvote those who do.
Good idea.
