Even if your post makes it to @curie"

It's worth noting here that Curie has a reputation cap for submission. So, if Curie gives you a bump once, you'll probably have too high of a rep to be eligible again. @JerryBanfield has a great post covering all the ins and outs of Curie for those who are interested.

"Steem Power rewards - 20% of all post payouts should be shared by all SP holder according to their SP ownership. People with more SP get more."

This is an interesting idea, but like much of the rest of your post, I think is far too drastic a change. Not going to get witness and community consensus on such enormous changes.

It seems most of your suggestions are to reduce the influence of stakeholders, so why would stakeholders buy in to this?

Sort:  

Companies uses profit for dividends or growth.
Steemit dividends are the rewards old investors/whales get and Steemit growth is achieved by atracting more active members to the community.

Newcomers represent the growth of this endeavour and stakeholders have to decide if they do rather get rewarded more now (dividends) or re-invest it to turn those newcomers into active members, increasing the lon-term value of the plataform.

How do you vote, sir?

The stakeholders will get paid per their investment regardless if they vote or not. That's 1 good reason for them to support this change. Second, the price of steem will soar with these change bringing a lot more users and adoption of steem. Else steem will stay a small community with whales to stay and minnows to go. That means almost no new authors + no adoption = Steem to fail.
