@sistem, this post reminds me about something I had read about HFT. If only we slowed the transaction speed down, then we wouldn't have all this algorithmic trading [[Flash Boys - Michael Lewis]](https://www.google.com/search?q=flash+boys&oq=flash+boys&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l4.3496j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8). So far there have been no changes. This is because all stakeholders of the issue can't come together to come up with an equitable solution.

On Steem the true requlators are the witnesses. I would be interested in how they come down on the issue of bid-bots.

What do you think?
