The problem you see may be impossible to resolve under the current system, the power to upvote or flag given to large SP holders, a.k.a whales, is the only thing that gives steem value, the only non-speculative use for steem at this point is to power up and be able to influence other`s payouts, so its interesting to see how this issue is also the main value proposition for the steem token.
