A distinct lack of top 50 witness replies here. If you speak out and agree with any of the above, then I suspect staying in the top 50 just got a lot harder.

As we know, many are either bid-bot owners or delegates, or both. Trying to peg SBDs to $1 is not in their financial interest.

Imagine paying for DSP with Steem at $1.5 and receiving payments for votes with SBD at $15. They were having it right off last December!
