This subject has been covered so many times, I realize that to most me trying to tackle it, doesn't sound too exciting. But, since there is a post on trending at the moment addressing some of the <b>growth challenges</b> of STEEM, I figured I would tackle some of the points of opposition.

<h1>What?? Half my money for 1 click??</h1>
Let's get this one out of the way, which to me is the ugliest one and quite short sighted. I realize some of my words might come off a little harsh, but in all honesty It's hard to not talk about this without dabbing into that territory.

Let's begin with one question, a very crucial one at that: <b>What do you mean by your money?</b> - As far as I know absolutely no one is guaranteed a payout, and aside from the SP that you may hold, and the upvote that you may give yourself, there is absolutely no obligation by any stake holder on this platform big or small to give you one.

This of course without even taking quality of content into consideration. Let's not kid ourselves here, quality is subjective, and I'm a little exhausted at the moment on that topic. How do we define what's good? Who is the judge? Who is the jury? 

So let's discard this position of entitlement all together, we simply must. But, before anyone says I'm not being balanced about this, let me just put it plainly and simply: What's better to have 100% of posts that don't get curated or 50% of posts that get heavily curated? 100% of nothing is still nothing, as far as math goes.

<h1>Whales are going to create more alts</h1>
I don't know about this, and I'm not sure it's actually correct at all. Why? Because they can already, and the accounts (not just whales) that are vote farming are not waiting for curation to change to do so. Why would they?

Here's the truth, we can't think that we can control bad actors 100% of the time, it's just impossible. What we can do is create a system of incentives that makes most people act in a beneficial manner towards the health of the STEEM ecosystem. In other words, if it's easier and profitable to be a good dolphin or whale, then we will get just that.

I know plenty of people hold on to idealistic views that no one should be allowed to have more than one account, but I think that analysis fails to take into account legitimate reasons to have more than one, like security measures for example.

<h1>This will just make people more greedy</h1>
I think of greed as a tool, I really do. It's part of our human nature to feel greed, to want to accumulate resources and what have you. From an evolutionary psychology stance it makes perfect sense, the more resources we secure, the safer we are, so to think we can create a utopian system that eliminates it is just silly.

Instead we should be embracing the idea and realize that if we give people more and more reasons to buy STEEM, to power up, to curate, because they are making more money, then we all win. Every single person who is part of this ecosystem, who is holding tokens, would benefit from an influx of accounts that want to partake on great curation rewards.

Imagine your posts only making two steem tokens, but each steem being worth 10 bucks each, does that not sound like a win to you? It certainly does to me.

Again the focus should be, how do we make the pie bigger, not how we make sure X account doesn't take all the pie, at least not exclusively. The solution, the long term vision has to have both angles for consideration. 

<h1>Conclusion</h1>
I know we have quite a few big whales of STEEM for this, including @blocktrades and @transisto, so I would really like to know what it would take for us to move in this direction.

It seems obvious to me that if we give this a go, we might actually open the doors to investment, and that's what keeps the lights on so to speak, not just content as some imagine. We need both, we need people who are interested in buying up our tokens as well as people who love participating of this platform and it's dapps.  You could say it's a symbiotic relationship between content creators and investors and that would probably be quite accurate.
