[EP115] - Business behaviour on the blockchain.

Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well!

There's a lot of action on our blockchain! Of course, I imagine (and hope) that there's a lot more creators, content consumers and businesses to come... but as a community, we need to decide what is acceptable and what isn't:

Is it okay for a business to reward their customers with the shared reward pool?
How much of the shared reward pool is it okay for businesses to use to upvote their customers?
Is it okay for a business to upvote themselves with the shared reward pool?
Is it okay for a business to offer perks to people who upvote them?
How much of the blockchain transactions are we happy for businesses to use?

I think it's important for us, as a community to think about what is acceptable behaviour for businesses. It wouldn't be hard for a single company to invest big in Steem and take it over... or for it to become a battleground between competing companies.

We can always hardfork the blockchain if that happens, but that could invalidate all the time we've invested. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for watching!
