I believe Steem has been working by DPOS since you've joined. What changed? What alternative would you propose?
I'm not a minnow but I m not a whale either, I would love my votes to matter more than they do, but on the other hand, we have to be realistic and realize that there s no other reasonable solution to decision making.

This is just a big experience but I had the thought that the main goal of the Blockchain Technology was to free us from the old, archaic Oligarchich Models that riddle the current economic system.

If we're simply copying them and transposing those Oligarchies to the Blockchain, how are we any better? And what's the point of it all?

It's like we're fighting fire with fire. I don't believe that will achieve anything good.

I see your point, but on the other hand you have to recognize that we can't have a 1 account 1 vote system either, unless we ask everyone to doxx themselves for proving that 1 account = 1 user.

And even then, it would make Steem even less attractive to potential investors, since their investment could be destroyed by users who don't have skin in the game.

No, of course not. Both extremes are bad... we need to compromise and find a balance between both ends. The solution is usually somewhere in the middle.

We need a well thought balance between "One Person, One Vote" and "One Dollar, One Vote"
