Defending the CORE ECONOMY! - A Message from @fyrst-witness!
A lot of newcomers has arrived at STEEM, and we hear people talk about radical changes to the core economy because n00bs feel it is too hard to be successful on steem.
Ideas like banning bots, whales, max delegation, reputation, haejin to mention a few have been pointed at for being the synthetic problem of an individuals lack of success and instead of using their brain to find better ways to earn coins on steem, they run into politics and want to change the game itself. We oppose such dangerous incompetence. This is a game, and every game has its rules and features and as witnesses, it is our obligation to look after the best interest for those that are here, not those that are there. Yes, the game is hard, and it will become much harder - as it should. And only those equipped to play this game will be successful.
Vote for @fyrst-witness if you like common sense!
We do not want to change radically, we want to scale up, optimize solutions, be part of the SMT-era and a lot of cool stuff, but we will not allow steem to become a place where we somewhat are forced to pay for the fame and fortune of the next "Honney Boo Boo".
- Keep the core economy as it is, no radical changes to the distribution model or the inflation model is desired. Instead, we should advise users to work with the STEEM economy as it is and instead of changing the game, the players should advance as this is a proof of brain blockchain, not a proof of whine.
- Additional Refill the voting-power by sending liquid STEEM to the reward pool if you are depleted. Would create more circulation in a positive way for everyone.
- 20-minute time-delay on delegation and undelegation of SP to be able to abort in case of a mistake.
- Radical new economic models and distribution systems should be sandboxed as an SMT and never put directly on the main chain. Our economy has consensus and I do not wish for a new consensus at this time. They are fun to talk about but make investors nervous.
- UI Changes - We contributed with motivation for @yabapmatt to create a steem wallet UI that looks like this: https://steembottracker.com/steemdash/?account=ned @ned and shows your wallet live instead of static. Much more fun to look at, right?

Thank You.
The Team!
I vote for @fyrst-witness and you should too.
I am captain obvious and I approved this message.
I am also tired of the screams for change for level 45 noobs. When they invest they can vote for changes.
I'm done giving my energy to them.
I believe that you will do a good thing for the future of the platform. you are a good person! that's why I vote you as my witness!
It’s not easy , money is never easy to earn . You have to work hard just like everyone on top did . We are just getting started with sMT’s, I’m sure no one wants to miss out
Somehow I wasn't voting for you earlier...fixed that during msp witness forum today. Whilst it is hard making your way on steemit...it's not impossible, like anything it takes work, and dedication (and hoping one day you find a sugawhale ;) )
Thanks for you sir
You speak Great Wise Words, the thing I like THE MOST was "lack of rules"... So I was able to Make My Own Way! I have been moderately successful, I mean 6000 SP in a year is decent! I bought a lot of it but it was almost all from Crypto Gains anyway. This bears repeating, Fyrst!
👍🏽
Thanks for sharing sir
Once it is game it's never easy,even if it's easy, from start, it's gonna be hard at some level
You make some sense in that post and I support that!
Chic article. I learned a lot of interesting and cognitive. I'm screwed up with you, I'll be glad to reciprocal subscription))

I tend to agree with @kevinwong about making curation 50%, others have mentioned this too, not too radical, what does bah long time archnemesis think about that? Too radikal?
That wouldn't even be a change.
It'd be undoing a change.
Those who run the voting bots will still game the system. I don't know how it would make a difference.
This isn't about them, this is about giving people more incentive to curate than to self-vote or to circle-jerk.
I manually curate every day. There is no reason to do it manually other than to try to reward good content. The voting bots will beat me at the game every time. Changing the amount will not change that.
So if we make the curation amount 0 curation won't change?
I don't know what everyone else does or what motivates them. Most people just simply sign up for the voting bots.
I think if you want to give them even more incentives or get me to stop manually curating and give up and go to the more effective bots, you should increase the curation rewards. I'm getting tired of curating anyway. :)
Why would more curation rewards lead to less curation? If that is true wouldn't no curation rewards lead to more curation then? Either way, self-voting won't stop, and that's not the point, the point is to encourage more curation but you seem to imply that if you get more rewards than right now for curation you'll stop curating, which begs the question, why?
I am already taking a loss manually curating. I could do much better using a voting bot. If I lose post rewards and walk away from more curation rewards, it would be time to rethink my current activity.
Notice the word Manual. The larger you make curation rewards the more I am going to care about what I am walking away from by manually curating.
Make the rewards large enough and there is no reason to engage with the site at all.
This is so true. Thank you @fyrst-witness. You are one of my awesome witnesses.
Thank you for your support to the communities.
Gracias.
