I am a lot more optimistic about the time that STEEM hits $10....St Patricks Day the latest.

As for the article, brilliant.  I just wrote a post about how the curation/reward system is not broken, that it is working exactly as intended.  Wealth is being shared and transferred from the hands of a few to the rest of us.  A big part of that is people using their allotted 20% daily of voting power.  That is where the force lies.  When people upvote others, it puts more SP in their wallet which is more VP.  Those who keep coming back to vote your stuff up will have more VP to give to you.  It is a wonderful cycle.  

It is easy to fret and moan about things being broken yet few take the time to learn how the system is actually working and how to partake in it.  I think you for posting this and reminding me to upvote all my commenters (which I do anyway).
