Voting power is "owned" it is a by-product of holding Steem Power. Those who own it have the ability to sell, rent, lease and trade it.
....the reward pool is not owned by anyone, you agree? (as you said earlier to me).
So no one is taking the reward pool from anyone, they are using their voting power a by-product of SP and they are allocating the use of their assets.
The reward pool is then distributed through the ecosystem with the mechanism of voting power/sp.
Agree?(or not?)
The mechanism of the movement of assets that don't belong to you - from one place to another - is not philosophically logical if you think property rights are a thing.
grrrrr! lol ....it amazes me how people seem to try to equate 'fair' - a 100% subjective value - as having anything to do with the steemit ecosystem.
To assign a value to anything implies price discovery. Price discovery cannot be implemented without property or free market working properly.
Steemit has neither..
(have you been talking to some manipulative postmodernists?...lol)
