to the Reward Pool?
..........................................................................................................................................................................
A recurring theme among whiners is 'He's raping the reward pool'.
Aside from the physical impossibility...how could that be even metaphorically possible?
...............warning...math is hard........................
Suppose a (potential) whale decides he wants to join Steemit. He's researched a little bit and decides that the prospective Return on Investment is worth his time.
So...he buys a bunchaton of SteemPower.
That causes (at least) two things to happen.
One: the price of Steem goes UP. (proportionate to how much he bought) and will STAY up until an equal or larger amount of Steem is sold. How is that a bad thing? A rising tide (or price of Steem) lifts all boats (or value of Steemit accounts).
Two: he decides to take some profit. That was the whole point after all, so he makes some posts (good or bad) and self votes.
IF he has a LOT of SP...his vote will be worth a LOT.
IF he has a LOT of SP...curating what he posted will ALSO be worth a lot.
It's a win win. He gets a good pay out..and so do those who voted for his post.
What's the problem?
Of course he could power down...and cash out..then Sell his Steem.
if he did the price of steem would go down.
Do we want that?
What am I missing here?
.............fooled you..I didn't use any math..cause math is hard.................
