All I can say here is damn straight! Well said my friend.
I've still been mulling over the way power works here on Steemit but I think I have been too focused on the way rewards pay out, that is, I have been too concerned with the monetisation of content, and yet, its the reputation (or score) that really holds the power and distributes tokens.
Thank you for writing about these mechanisms so clearly.
And thanks also for the reminder that the experiment is far from over.
cheers.
