RE: How Are You Preparing For HF21?

Great read buddy. Upvoted already :)

I saw a lot of anger in some post I was reading, some said they were leaving Steem for other platform.

Wow. That's quite extreme.

Personally I believe that HF21 will make more damage to this platform than it will do good.

Especially changing rewarding system from 75/25 to 50/50 (authors / curators) will allow "big players" to enjoy bigger gains without really doing anything.

Proposed system can only work if so called Whales would actually start delegating their Steem Power to quality curators. That would indeed allow those curators to be rewarded for their work and benefit entire platoform.

I'm simply afraid, that this will not happen. That at the end most whales will continue auto-upvoting publications of very few people, with their powerful votes and without putting any effort they will start earning x2 more than they did so far.

It surely would encourage them to slow down with powering down, which in effect would most likely bring up the price of STEEM. But that is the only positive outcome. And what would happen year from now, when those "whales" would start dumping this easily earned STEEM?

I wonder if you would agree with me on this one.

joining two more platforms would be making life more complicated so I just stuck with Steem.

Reality is that both weku and whaleshares are having very little user base comparing to Steemit and it doesn't seem that it will change anytime soon. So I would also stick around.
