Never ever fork peoples stake away. And never suggest it in any way shape or form. This kind of behaviour is a violation of property rights and will scare away potential future stake holders.

The optimal solution is to allow RAM owners to let others use it for a fee (1% might get burned) creating a rental market. This way you can choose between owning or renting. Having both options is better

Hey. Just discovered you on youtube. Huge fan of Ayn Rand. Nice to se you on steem aswell.

I am simply trying to dispel the notion that "one body one vote" is a good idea. It's not.

I am all for linear reward curves. Any move away from this I see as an injustice.

Earning more for competence is good but just one side of the coin. Also having influence follow competence is an ideal.

I love SMT's. My only objection is the quote I mention. 1P1V is not an ideal in any economic protocol as far as I can tell. The reason is that there is no reward for competence. An idiot gets as much influence

People are not equally competent. Some are better than others and for that reason deserves more influence. The "problem" you are trying to solve will in most, if not all systems be a net negative.

One account, one vote (1A1V), sounds good in theory No. It sounds a lot like socialism. It creates an injustice. A disincentive to earn/invest in the token. A good theory is a theory that works in reality.

Let's say you wanted to attack/undermine the STEEM token value. One way would be to create a 2nd token and transfer functions or attention from STEEM to the 2nd token. Now people would dump STEEM. This

I agree and I see inspiration from a great thinker in this post. Let's fight for reason and the right to choose life.

The rewards are paid by investors in the STEEM token. If investors are not able to generate a ROI by seelling votes they can't justify investing because of the inflation. If you scare away investor you

Thanks for the post. Try to put more detail and analysis into your post. If you read The Fountainhead please let us know. Do quote passages you find interesting. You might want to read. The Art of Nonfiction:

You need to make it clear when you quote Ayn Rand directly and when you use your own words. Let me know when you have done that.

Thanks for the post. I would like you to explore the difference between the mainstream ideas of selfishness vs the Objectivist definition. Also explan the concept of altruism. It's not clear to me you

Thanks for your post. Good points. A few I disagree with.

Thanks for the content.

Good start. But you don't show a deep understanding of the Objectivist definition of selfishness. I recommend reading The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand. I will give you a 25%.

Good start. I would like you to elaborate more on your understanding of selfishness. Define it and give examples of what is truly in your rational self-interest. I will give you a 25% upvote. Hope to see
