RE: SteemIt content creators should be rewarded based on their reputation

I like blockchain bloat to remain low too. Something interesting though: In theory, if the blockchain ever implements a compression algorithm, a copy-pasted message which is -say- 400 bytes and appears 10000 times as a comment, could be brought down to just one instance of it. In general, text is veeeery compressible and repeat instances are extremely compressible.

I've actually been thinking about compression on the blockchain too. I can't believe the developers haven't implemented it. It's SO essential for social media (large pieces of text) compared to just transactions.
