All I'm saying is there's another layer of trust needed to entrust others with your witness votes, it's not even the same as delegating HP to a curation account. It's about the security of the blockchain. If these guys are this loud about disagreement of rewards, how easy aren't they going to be bought off to vote in a bad actor's favor? There's someone in this thread literally offering 10k USD to blacklist an account from its stake and before you bring up steemit, azircon has purchased his stake, not promised for years it won't be used in governance voting or to invest it in the future of Hive.

Blocktrades has it in his best interest to keep the chain secure because he has the most skin in the game. You guys want someone with close to no skin in the game to have a major witness vote. It's close to irrelenvat right now at times of "peace", but if another Justin Sun were to appear who happens to only need a few more million Hive witness votes after months of powering up anon accounts before making his move, then everyone will be in jeopardy because 1 or 2 people with close to no skin in the game are most likely to sell out and endanger everyone's stake.
