RE: How I feel abit's experiment went.
Funny .. Leroy never gets old. :)
This experiment is an interesting one though .. as explained by @timcliff ..
https://steemit.com/steem/@timcliff/the-whale-voting-experiment-explained-including-downvotes-from-abit
I would be very interested to know what would occur in a whale-less world, with them neither upvoting nor downvoting. If we are to have a future, we need 100s of thousands of new users, who will all have roughly the same amount of starter STEEMPower. Some will choose to purchase and power-up relatively large amounts of STEEM, perhaps up to 10k, but in that scenario the STEEM price will have increased to a point where this would be less possible for individuals than it is today.
Anyway, let's see what a relatively-level playing field is like - I hope all whales choose to participate.
Yes, the idea is probably very good. I was only laughing at the execution. After I got mad for a minute, I looked for the humor. :)
lol yes .. everything I said above was entirely obvious wasn't it? It was really just a defense against incurring the wrath. ;-)
The way the idea was dropped could have used a little more of a 'human' touch. "Hey gang .. I have a great idea! Let's see how things go if we highly-disturbing 500 000+ SP holders side-line ourselves for a few days!? Whaddusay !?" .. rather than ... "Let us see how these mortals fare without our divine intervention .. I will be begin .. NOW!"
Did anyone drop a soul stone?
