I think steem power should be removed entirely, many in the community agree with this.
this isn't a bad idea....
I think that inflation can be used to incentivize people to buy steem, I actually created a post about it.
This is lol-bad. Lets print money and give it away for free... that will increase its value. Spoiler alert -- it won't.
Money is being printed as we speak at a fixed rate and this won't change if a portion of it is used to distribute to stakeholders.
Steem is already being given for free, not sure what you are talking about.
No, its being given away in exchange for work. Just because you don't pay for something with money doesn't mean you don't pay.
You want to take the work out of the equation, because some are doing a bad job of it, and just pay people for doing nothing.
Yes its work. Its just not good or difficult work (and its not work that should be rewarded). The solution is to reward the work that is actually valuable, not to not offer rewards for the (important) function and depend upon people to do it for free out of the goodness of their hearts.
I'm sorry but running a bot is not work and doesn't bring any value to the platform.
Authoring is work and provides value.
