What do you make of the blocktrades thingy taking from the pool and nobody else?

I'd like it better if we were all in it together.
Let the witness do things to increase the steem price if they want a raise.

While it isn't perfectly ideal, I think it gets money a little closer to the community.

Also it is clear that SteemIt, Inc has a very limited scope and almost no understanding of their own user base.

Frankly the more money we can get in more hands to promote and build with is a win.

Yeah, it makes utopian redundant and getting that tape worm off the intestines will be a move in the right direction.

It still seems convenient that only the part going to the reward pool will pay.
Maybe we aren't all in this together, after all.

At this point I think short of taking his millions and jumping ship I don't really expect anything positive to come from that corner.

We should have forced them to sell, or stfu, with the whale experiment, but I wasn't calling shots then, either.

None of us are calling the shots! That is for sure.

Lol, ain't freedom great!!?

That's the thing about free speech, it's just as good the second day.
