To get Steem to moon, we need to give more to the investors. They deserve it. They've got the money, and we need money to get Steem to moon! Authors don't deserve what they're getting. They're too entitled. Steem is a cash-cow for them. Curators/investors should have more rewards. It's only fair.
Hell, Steem should just be distributed based on who has Steem Power. The more Steem Power you have, the more of the reward pool you will get. That's a winner for investors, and we need that for Steem to win! It's what's best for Steem. Proof-of-Wallet is how we need to distribute the token more fairly and to who deserves it more.
Bid bots are also what's best for Steem. That makes people buy Steem in order to "promote" (buy votes for) their posts/comments and get more rewards. Pay-to-play is the best model for Steem's success!
That was sarcasm :P
I look at work done as having merit. "Proof-of-Work" of a non-encrypted format done by humans, not computers, sometimes called "Proof-of-Brain". Posts and comments are the bes measure of PoW and PoB on Steem. Curating is also a measure of it. Some think a 50/50 curator/author split is more fair, more deserving for curators and authors alike.
Why not a 75/25, or 100/0 curator/author split?
What does work matter at all, why not just give all the Steem based on who has Steem Power?
If the authors/commenters don't "deserve" 75% for doing most of the work on the site, why not just give even more to those with the SP, which is the what many of the arguments are for giving more to curating because "we want people to invest", and giving more to curators will mean giving more to investors to get them to invest. But, most investors don't want to do work. That's why they sell their votes for passive income. Bid bots are supposed to be "great" for STEEM and Steem. At least that's what we were/are told by some.
That seems like more of a "cash-cow" model than rewarding authors/commenters -- who do most of the work on the site -- with more than curators who do less work. Proof of work through proof of brain (for the most part).
Think about this. Why does anyone need to post anything? Just distribute the token based on who has the token (SP). That must be an investor dream, right? Just full passive income. WO0ot! That will drive investors to buy Steem and get us to moon, right? I've heard this promise before via bidbots... and that worked out GREAT didn't it?
But... what would the site be without those doing work to post and comment? They don't deserve what they're getting now... maybe they don't deserve anything. What would STEEM be valued at then... I wonder...
Work done matters. Invest in any/most cryptos and you don't get any returns for simply investing other that hoping the price goes up. The work of posting posts and comments is the way "mining" work (PoW) is done on Steem. Curation is a part of that work done, but not nearly equal.
Voting/curating is too much work to get a mere 25% potential rewards it seems. We need 50% to make the work of clicking a mouse or autbot voting worth it? Otherwise, that's why Steem doesn't have people buying it? We need to give more to easy or no work passive income! That will solve hte problem of STEEM not being purchased! Wo0ot! Again, why not distribute the token based on SP alone and see how "good" that is for Steem.
Because "bid bots" and selling votes was "good" for Steem, right? What happened to that "promise"? It was just a pipe dream people were selling to justify vote selling and making money doing nothing. Passive income for the win! Talk about a real cash-cow lol! I see 50/50 curation/author rewards going the same route. Another pipe dream to "solve" the problem of STEEM and investors.
Is Steem/STEEM winning with bid bots and vote selling/buying? Seems that didn't work out as promised, now did it? How much better is 50/50 going to make things? Will we "magically" get more investors to pour into STEEM and make Steem a success?
Food for thought. Peace.
