Being that voting is stake weighted at least makes your targets easy to find if you're aspiring to climb up the ranks.
Im up in the air as to how twisted the narrative is that saw the number one witness displaced as a consensus witness. On one hand the timing of said witness (aggroed) rise and fall coincidentally occurring as he helps release a way to create tokens seems suspect, but then again any intelligent player would also see that this combined with past popularity essentially guarantees a quick return to the top 20.
So, from this perspective voting for the clear blockchain favourite is a wasted vote for freedom the Lord of the blockchain. By removing the vote he can then spread his influence to other avenues that are beneficial. Thus, the central figure gains more power over the rigged system.
Suffice it to say, when votes are bought and sold, special interests and lobbying will take precedence. It's ironic for a platform that purportedly is "changing the world" whilst adopting the exact same model that they're trying to run away from.. Amusing to say the least..
That being said IMHO there is no answer to capitalism until scarcity becomes a global reality not a fear based mental construct perpetuated by the controllers to first world pimps at the expense of all the rest of us. Nature always finds a balance, how dystopian the tipping of the scales is up to us.
Basically, you can't buy what the soul is here to do, so this is our shared struggle.. What we need are soul rebels, that can stay the course once they get a taste of the opulence.. If that's you then prove it and do what it takes to curry favour, this is no easy task and requires a propensity for duplicity.. Magnanimous or megalomania the choice is yours boss..
