    I'm not sure I see how that helps with the issue of the SP being purchasable and giving wealth more power over the community's mindshare. Can you elaborate?

      Sorry, I'm just saying that if people ran their own version of steemit.com or their own steem block chain viewer, then you would have more control over your viewing experience.

      Someone being censored unfairly by a whale? The uncensored patch would show everything anyway. Or there could be code to let you follow a person you like, regardless of their reputation.

        Makes sense.

        I still think that allowing SP to be bought so easily prevents giving power to active members in the community in the long run. If I understand your suggestion correctly, you're saying that you can just whale-proof your viewing experience to make it more democratic. I think in some way that would throw out the baby with the bathwater. If someone has a lot of SP because they have contributed over a long period of time, I would want to see their contributions to trending etc. I just dont want the DNC, GOP, Walmart, etc. to start shaping what I see and read.
