Hive account@usefree, Hive account@biophil, Hive account@dantheman, Does anyone know of any discussion (if there is something in the whitepaper I'll be reading it in a few hours) of how the steemit platform might become more balanced with respect to the seemingly disproportionate influence that founders and early adopters currently possess?

Is steemit designed in a way whereby someone with a lot of steem power would need to continue to make positive contributions in order to retain their influence?
