@aggroed You know this is very interesting, a few reasons you touched on. When you have a few with majority control we lose the security of the platform itself - it goes against the point of the masses voting for the witnesses to maintain balance and stability.
A friend an I were just talking the other night about how in time governments, or their agencies, could infiltrate crypos in this very same way. If you become the biggest miners, setting up multiple operations, which a government can afford to do, to get a majority of the confirmation stakes, pushing out your competition, you can almost hijack a blockchain and then inject or track data in at will. Anything is possible when you report to nobody.
Hopefully this new account has good intentions. :-)
Well it's been here from the first week. Just all pooled now.
Oh I see, it's just a blind account with no posts or community interactions. Interesting though.
I was going to ask if the account is listed in steemwhales, when I realized that bit I can do myself. It´s actually number 4 in the ranking by value, with about $ 11 million. I think that would be dollars, or an estimate of dollar value.
Thank you for this interesting post. I keep learning and understanding a little bit more every time. This is a complicated environment, I must say.
