Hi Jerry, this is a great post! You are very correct, the idea behind Hive account@minnowbooster was to provide an investor-class method of holding Steem rather than letting it waste away in an exchange, while at the same time being affordable for minnows. Many whales stopped voting after "the experiment" and this gives them something to do with their Steem other than powering down.

When I get home I will hit you some witness votes from myself and Hive account@buildteam which is a proxy for Hive account@minnowbooster. Please consider votes for myself and co-founder Hive account@reggaemuffin if you aren't already voting for us. Great work, cheers!

(Edit) You are voting for me, thanks man! ;)
