Lmao see how they told you VP "costs" money and is designed to counter spam. What a load of bullshit. The "troll" you speak of in your above post who harasses and bullies everyone and their uncle on Steemit never paid one red cent for any of his Steem. He just "premined or ninja mined all of it". Shit loads of it.. and now uses that VP (voting power) to beat everyone over the head.. and then little ball washers like the person who "oh so kindly explained things to you" <-- who is probably a sock puppet of the bully might I add.. fail to tell you that the VP the bully/troll is using on everyone was FREE! He just printed it from thin air, and shit loads of it. He also has thousands upon thousands of accounts. He runs this entire platform. And sure you and me would have to pay a "cost" to buy VP (voting power).. but this head troll (who is actually Steemit Inc.) never paid one fucking cent.
Be careful who "kindly" "helps" you in your comments.. you have no idea how many sock puppets these people have, and every time someone tells the truth just like you did in your above post.. these "friendly helpers/witnesses/and anyone with their hand in the cookie jar" <-- twist the truth and crawl out of the wood work like little cockroaches and defend the insanity...
This place is all smoke and mirrors.. and they are a bunch of leftist control freaks.
Beware.
Oh here is the proof he was one of the first accounts ever... and that he "mined" all of his Steem which he uses on people like a weapon. Many people have been bought off by him, and or are just him under alias accounts, or his friends.. here is the screen shot from the blockchain..
