Beware Elitism!
I have read in trending, and elsewhere, very well to-do posters advocating the end of STEEM Power, or the end of interest paid on held STEEM Power in favor of a phatter rewards pool ..
Well of course 'they' would!
STEEM Power, for most of us, represents our hope ... to increase our holdings through curation, and perhaps through receiving more support from people who wish to receive our support in return. The very top-tier of this platform no longer needs to worry about such things .. so they would prefer to be completely liquid, because they want to be able to easily move money out of here to trading platforms, and to get a piece of all these very dicey ICOs we see popping up every day.
What is Good for the Rich is Not Necessarily Good for YOU, or the Platform!
I hope headquarters sees this as clearly as I .. if the experience of the majority of users is not their primary concern, and this means people in the 500 - 5000 SP range (just pulled that outta my ass .. someone make this more accurate please). People 'holding' STEEM, in STEEM Power, is what makes the currency stable, and provides a base to go up from - if people were moving cheap-ass STEEM in/out of the platform, all day long, we'd look very cheeeeesey indeed!
What we need is the opposite of what they propose ..
The more STEEM Power you hold the higher interest it should pay, because it is good for the platform, and should be seriously incentivized. If you want to consider changes to benefit the rewards pool, maybe look at the entire Witness System instead of our humble earnings on our meager STEEM Power holdings.
