Sorry I gave you only 5% upvote, but I promised in my post that I would give from 1 to 5% - I would give you 100% but some users who give minuses may get angry as if I and you are a team and a lobby group. Honestly, Steem tokens can solve the problem, but downvote is a negative campaign and not based on social networking reality. You explained nicely that friends are hooking up, but here we see one moment of great crisis, perhaps even panic, to save Steem. It is not crucial who will vote for whom because the source is limited, we can support one million people, maybe ten million people, but then the crisis comes again. So the best solution is to create a platform for Steem Tokens and everyone can vote for anyone but with some rules. Everyone can vote for themselves a maximum of once a day, for your friends set aside 20% daily, for all other new ones set aside 70% - this is just an example. When we have Steem tokens the first question is whether they have real value. To gain value first Steem must have power and appeal. We need to attract companies to invest in Steem or at least accept Steem as a payment method. If companies were to give a discount on products or services when buying with Steem, it would attract high traffic and value would be raised.
We have many users and if we give them the opportunity to have a 1% commission on the traffic from the company they bring to the Steem blockchain, then we will grow rapidly. The second step is to create a Steem platform for new tokens, then it would throw in the possibility for everyone to get on the stock market, I would open a school and give support to anyone who wants to do it as a business. Then we have the opportunity to grow with the number of users, to be rewarded by an unlimited number of people with different tokens and to have the quality really top the successful posts.
