What you should know about Steem's math.
<html>
<p>Steem is heavily weighted towards the top.</p>
<p>More stake, more money goes to you.</p>
<p>This is needed in the early life of the platform.</p>
<p>If it wasn't this way when the market cap was 17m somebody could have swooped in and bought enough to really matter in the math.</p>
<p>Were they to act against the platform's interest there would be little that anybody with less stake could do.</p>

<p>Now, as part of that, when whales vote EVERYBODY ELSE'S influence on the reward pool is diminished.</p>
<p>Before the hardforks very few people mattered in the math.</p>
<p>After the hard forks the top still mattered most, and self voting was in their best interests.</p>
<p>As it was before, selfvoting had to take place in teams to really matter.</p>
<p>That way, one account couldn't rule the roost without some other accounts colluding to stop it.</p>
<p>Ergo,</p>
<p>When you beg a whale for a vote, or buy one from one, or team up to be one, you diminish the influence of everybody that doesn't play along in your reindeer games.</p>
<p>'So, what?', you say, that is how the world works.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Well, I'm sure you would agree that most of us are here because we don't like 'how the world works'.</p>
<p>Yes?</p>
<p>We would also be blind to not see that those that like it this way are here among us.</p>
<p>If we want to succeed crapitalistically, they help.</p>
<p>But if we want to change the way the world works, we have to think from the perspective of the new paradigm.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Are you doing that?</p>
