The latest hardfork makes me want to ignore every author who doesn't reach 20 steem in all their posts.
My upvotes are worth less if their post doesn't reach 20 steem. I'm effectively choosing to not make as much money. Why would I choose less instead of more, from an investor's point of view? I wouldn't.
If I want to make the best out of my steem power, I would be forced to look for authors whose posts historically always reach at least 20 steem. Which leads me to the circlejerk of whales I simply don't want to ever support.
So if there is no good option left... Why would I - or anyone else for that matter - buy steem power / power up?
This platform uses proof-of-brain. But we can only come to the conclusion of how stupid is holding any stake at all at this point.
