We definitely need to see a change for the model of distribution and this seems the best way to do it. I think many new investors are not interested in Steem due to the fact the coin has inflation and then if they dig a little deeper they see that the coins were not well distributed and that the inflation is to the benefit of the early players. The vast majority of new Steem has to go to the new people joining to build the community. Steemit should also increase transparency with the investments being made from their funds.
