i think the goal is to distribute STEEM to market making oriented traders/organizations, which at the same time would create liquidity and vested interests from the financial sector.
Enabling a monopoly does not solve this, even if it is a non-profit one providing a public service and certainly not a profiteer who is not concerned about his effects on the community.
Now if you are not willing to be a team player and help STEEM achieve its goals, then that is your choice, but I would suggest to look at the big picture. You could have kept a quarter, maybe more of the awards and let others win the majority and in general help STEEM achieve the distribution goals. Without vocal complaints by all the other market makers the system could have been maintained.
It is like the DAO hacker, if he limited himself to a couple million, maybe the hardfork wouldnt get the support it needs. Maybe you need to revise your algorithms to take the community reaction into account, instead of simply maximizing the short term profits in your wallet

So your actions have gotten you more short term profits, but it seems the liquidity points will be revised to prevent such monopolistic profiteering: https://steemit.com/steem/@jl777/steemit-has-the-most-responsive-dev-team
