I would have more confidence in this current system if more people powered up and more whales powered down.

This is like saying that the whales (in this system) are not people. This platform is centralized around the whales, which I do not like, because most people are either overlooked or ignored. But the whales are still people. And if more people would power up, that would really increase the confidence of the users in this system. Everyone should power up, but in reality much more people are powering down than up. Most people do not want influence in this system. They want to earn money. And they can do that without powering up their liquid Hive.
