I am not speaking about his steeming, but the witness income. You know you just setup a pc somewhere and it's on. I don't think that single witness owner has a future. For example @maryfavour referenced me a witness (witnessgigs) who use his witness reward to organize events.
Steeming and running a witness isn't the same.
IF being a top 50 witness was that easy wouldn't everyone be doing it?? Im not sure that being a witness is about creating a future, its more helping in a present tense and helping maintain the network....
I think it takes effort, time, money and knowledge to do these things, I'm willing to support and not expect someone to pay or reward me for it.
I own a mining company... I process the blockchain for the coins we mine. Do I somehow owe the communities of the people I mine coins for some sort of reward because I am helping maintain their network?
