My thoughts of the subject in a nutshell.

Investors can act in two ways.

• Continue selling all of their SP/votes to gain maximum profits for today.

• Invest a percentage of SP/votes to quality posts, in doing so maximizing Steems value for tomorrow.

Partnering with bidbot operators could help in two main ways.

• It would alleviate some of the distrust among the investors. Investing in the future of Steemit seems better when you know that the other investors will be paying their share as well. If the bidbots factor this into the payouts for SP delegations, everyone who delegated would be investing into Steems value at the same rate.

• There would be a clear dividing of Bidbots. Those that refused vs those that choose to invest in Steems future. The free market would work it out from there.
