he is one of "them", though. My point is that only Steemians who are decently successful on Steem on a regular basis have a (major) interest to keep Steem at a high evaluation and therefor buy all the SBD that is generated by Steem.

From a financial or personal standpoint it makes no sense to buy SBD or Steem unless you are willing to bend the rules.

These are all conspiracies, I have no proof, just a certain feeling.
