RE: Asking for a delegation to Steemit and misterdelegation to help in the support and fight together against old witnesses of the new clone called ¨H¨.
I agree it is a utopia. An ideology. The problem here is that too much power in too few hands is self-defeating. So both Steem and Hive ended up being controlled by just a few of the self-serving elite.
What I am not sure about - is it that a failure of decentralisation - we always end up with an elite? Is that always inevitable? Or is it just a failure of the way this platform has implemented it through the witnesses who are all in each other pockets? Could the system have prevented whales from dominating?
Either way, it is a failure. What is important is how Steem will support the real communities on Steem like Project HOPE.
Dear @awah
I think it's a failure of an idea, that algorithm can defent us from greed and other human behaviours (like seeking power).
We will always witness strong people, ambitious, controlling, greedy - name it. People who will find a way to become part of that "elite".
That's just simply because we're humans. And blockchain will not stop us from activing like humans.
In that case it doesn't matter whether there is centralisation or decentralisation, as human nature will prevail. What matters is working with like minded people who are not just greedy but those who want to build a strong community.
