I have looked at this post for over twenty minutes and compared it in my mind with other solutions proffer by others. And honestly, I don't know if we can ever tackle this except the faulting members of the community let down their greed and reason with others.
What would happen if the posting suddenly jumped from that number to 250K-300K per day? What would happen if some of those people with 100K SP, instead of downvoting 10X a day, posted 10 times a day and upvoted themselves? What if everyone tripled or quadrupled the number of posts each day?
What could we have from this? - total dilution. Those who already have could survive. But what about the new comers trying to settle in this platform. Those who's upvote is worth less than $0.01?
Whatever form this war will take, it's those down the ladder that will feel the impact the most. This will result in the proverbial two elephants fighting where the grass always suffers.
That is true. But, dilution from more activity has a net positive effect. To start, there is a lot more going on which would, at least in theory, attract more people. Also, with that many more posts each day, we would see more organic traffic since the search engines would have a lot more to index.
So wouldnt the net result be that the price of STEEM increases? So in real terms, at least for those who are using the currency to survive upon, trading STEEM to fiat would yield more since the price would be higher. Sure it is possible that it wouldnt be...but that exists if what is presently taking place escalates and word starts to spread that this is a site of attacking and people trying to sabotage each other.
And I think we all suffer since this place has the potential to impact millions of people in an uplifting manner. Plus, from a financial standpoint, we will see everyone with SP affected if it spreads to the point of sending the price of STEEM down.
I am not saying it will, just that it could.
