Word re: the trending page. It is mostly just established whales with solid trails, content aside.

Regarding demand - DLM is priced in STEEM, people wanting to lease have to buy STEEM. See your point with the voting bot though. @Reggaemuffin can you not charge STEEM for votes instead to boost STEEM demand?

Also as I said above, there's a certain originating whale dumping 80K on the market every few days ... that is fucking demand. 3.5 mil delegated to MB is 3.5 not being dumped.
