I am writing this post to echo that sentiment.
Here is his post from a little over a week ago:
I'll be running a witness soon. Give me a week. I'm going to take this job quite seriously too.
I believe this whole-heartedly. He is one who will take this role very seriously.
Over the past day, since we are able to access STEEM, I encountered quite a few of those lobbing bombs about what took place. Well, here is a chance to stop complaining and do something about it.
The only reason the Hard Fork took place is BECAUSE THE WITNESSES DECIDED TO DO THE UPDATE. It is that simple. They are the ones who decide on issues like this. The Steemit development team can create and recommend but, ultimately, our blockchain is run by the witnesses.
One of the challenges is that many who are complaining have voted for zero to a couple witnesses. It is time to take this activity seriously.
Thus, give some serious consideration to giving him a vote as witness. To be truly effective, he needs to make it into the top 20.
I already cast my vote for him.
