I see you’ve been reading the #price chat. :)
I agree with most of this, particularly the comments about witnesses at the top. They’re a bit too comfortable collecting their witness rewards while watching this place burn to the ground...or worse - continually throwing more fuel into the fire.
Unfortunately, those approving them don’t care, so the needed fixes won’t happen. It’s not that we’re talking past each other. It’s that most people are unwilling to see and to listen. And if they aren’t just completely ignorant/oblivious, they’re just completely dishonest.
It all starts at the top, and unfortunately, we have no leaders there willing to be good examples. So, more circling the drain is in the cards. This is apparently the desire of our esteemed and extremely overpaid gatekeepers. How fortunate we are!
haha i haven't logged into steem.chat in while ever since riverhead left..
yeah now i'm seeing this as one of the bigger problems with dpos.
There is an upside to this: if the top-20 witnesses and some big wallets approve of one of the changes, we will have to take a very close look at that change. There's some predictive power there.
Other than that: fortunate indeed, my cup runneth over. Should have puked in the toilet.
