amen, brotha.
your english was fine throughout this. well-stated. thank you for your contribution to the discussion, as it is much appreciated.
yes - the founders OUGHT to have some serious weight to invest, because it is THEIR vision. like any company that hopes to succeed, they must choose their team wisely - who to invest in that they feel have the skills to help grow the venture into the full vision.
keep up the good writing. you know what you're talking about and it is of value to the community. :-)
i agree with that they ought to have some serious weight to invest. But their votes should not be the only ones that matter (they are, currently).... DO i think the founders should have the same say as someone that say put 10K into steem power? No, they should have more. But how much more.
ATM, a whale vote is worth around 20,000 times what a $10K investor vote is. And most of the founders control multiple whale accounts. And no, i don't know what the right porportion is, but i think that what we have is too much.
If nothing else, having whales with so much clout that no one else has a say is going to deter investment. I know its stopped me from powering up. I have about $30K worth of steem, but why invest it to bring my vote value up 2 cents? Ultimately, as people start to realize this and power down, its going to hurt the value of the currency and the payouts.
