If blocktrades reckless financing were the only problem it would be ok. But even "small" top 20 witnesses have the power to fund or defund at will. Acidyo used to support the return proposal but then removed his support to fund mcfarhats outrageous 400HBD a day proposal.

Acidyo doesn't have that much HP and it still was enough to decide we should all pay for a proposal that prints 400HBD a day that is 8k HIVE a day that is 2.9 million a year

A "small" witness alone financed a proposal bug enough to cause extra 0.5% inflation (based on circulating HIVE supply), one witness with one proposal alone, millions of HIVE a year taking a significant chunk of liquidity and market cap
