I dare say that the figures that are stated in the post here confirm your general point of view.
As per our Steem Whitepaper, the witnesses are = governance.
We choose our governance which in effect gives us Steemians the power to have our say in the future of our Steem.
I am very BIAS, I truly see the potential that Steem has to offer this world of ours, with over 80% of the worlds population living on under $10 a day, we literally can change so many lives out there.
Plus, set a precedence that has never to date been seen in any of the "governance" models to date.
Steem has incredible potential and a lot of it depends on the vision and goals and not just the "here and now" as what too many out there seem to be stuck on.
STEEM ON!
