100% I started thinking about this because of @gtg's comment saying that he is not so much a politician, but he tries. Because I suspect that the political elements at play are an evolution of some sorts, so the "politicians" that got here first, sort of speak, played a different ball game all together and today enjoy a different level of relevance. It might be grandfathered in, and that could be debatable, but it allows them to be more visible which of course is key to any political platform.

To make my point clear, if a plankton developed steemmonsters instead of aggroed, the game would have to be 10 times better than it currently is, to garnish half of the attention it currently has. This is not an attack against aggroed, he has worked hard to get to where he is, but now that he has, he has visibility and the trust of the constituency, which is us.

We know a top 20 witness is not going to steal our keys, or do something to hurt his livelihood, because their career/position is very beneficial to them, and compromising that would be stupid to say the least.
