Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions! No worries. Here is my rebuttal

1. The problem with bid bots is the issue with the rewards pool. Jerry's 2000$ plus reward is taking away from all the other posts for his payout. Constant abuse will only make it worse, encouraging other users to do so. Here in the states, we are technically free market, but even then we have certain laws in place to prevent stuff like this from happening. If you want, I'll ellaborate even further in a future response.

2. Steemit was made to be a decentralized platform. The path it's headed to is centralization, which the developers have not done anything about. The platform is still young, and much more should be done.

3. Minnow support will not disappear, but it will lose value. Charities are still around today in our so called free market.

4. That one I'm in full agreement with. As I was talking with steem.services below, I highly doubt something will be done, unless steem has some sort of competition.

5. Goes back to the centralization. A single downvote should not be able to make a post hidden. With little accounts that's not an issue with. Nothing decentralized about that.

But of course let's not forget what the whole article is about. Jerry stated he thinks steem will surpass bitcoin in 2021. In this state, it won't, ever. For that to happen, we need growth, and as Hive account@themarkymark stated in one of his articles, the growth we are seeing is spam accounts, taking away from actual real users trying to get on the platform.

Not to mention, steem has dropped in market cap right now to below 30. There was a time it was much higher.
