I Was Wrong. Now what?

In my last post I've talked about capping the upvote value could potentially protect us from outside bought influence.

After reading some well-thought comments from Hive account@dana-edwards [ also his post builds on his argument] and Hive account@repholder and based on the upvoted they recived from Hive account@dantheman, I came to the conclusion that my solution maybe it's a too much on the socialist side and will probably have unwanted effects as well:

• less mobility from minnow/dolphin to whale status
• less excitement from posting by taking away the " lottery effect" [ a.k.a you can win a jackpot from any post]
• possibility for one, two or more whales to collude in order to obtain the influence they desire anyway!
• maybe even creating a greater gap between who can influence and who can't by taking the power from a benevolent whale and evening out the field, essentially creating a situation in which is easier to be outnumbered/outvoted by evil/nefarious bought in elements.

I was wrong.

[ now I should totally convince those people that they are wrong!!!!!]

KIDDING!

How did I come up with the post idea and what does it mean?

I discuss Steemit with friends a lot these days. I am trying to convince them to join this revolutionary platform and we have talks/arguments about its potential, future and the perceived unfairness [ For those whinning, I recommend Hive account@cryptogee's rebuke. We tried to image what would happen if a cap would be possible, not in order to limit the potential rewards, everyone loves the rewards!, but in order to limits the power one person can have.

I am thinking along the lines that inone year there will be enough whales and other big fishes swimming in the steemit ocean, that a cap would actually improve fairness and not the other way around.

Now what?!

unexpected twist! - WE ALL WON -

Basically, exactly what happened is what I wanted to see more of: an open discussion, an exchange of ideas, all for bettering Steemit.

A man's thinking evolved [ wink ], another man's brain made a new connection and it will come with a new idea. He will make a great post and bring even more people in the discussion.

That's the path.

We must all resist to create echo-chambers in here or isolate ourselves and be ALWAYS RIGHT. That's how one stagnates.

I was wrong, but I am glad that I was and called out on it. That's how I grow.

This is how I believe Steemit will grow too.

Thank you.

Raz out.
