If I was a bankster, this is how I would sabotage the Steem blockchain

As a bankster, I am deeply concerned about the steem blockchain as my fiat currency cannot compete and as such is in major trouble.  Cryptocurrencies threaten to over take my debt based tool I use to control, steal and manipulate the economy and all those involved with it.  I cannot flood the steem blockchain with more steem because I cannot print more with the stroke of my keyboard.  That process is automated, distributed and out of my control, where my fiat currency process is centralized and completely under my control.  I also cannot create debt either.  All the tools that I've used for hundreds of years have been rendered obsolete. I am in big trouble as my fiat, debt based currency cannot compete.  

Something must be done!

I cannot attack it from the outside, so I must do it within.  There is one tool that I can use and it involves my knowledge of human behaviour.  The humans are so predictable, I most likely won't have to do much to win.  In fact, I could probably get them to do the work for me without them even realizing it.  

I could relaxo on my rancho and watch the fire works.  

Step 1 - buy steem so that I can be in a position of influence.  1.3 million steem should do the trick.  Schedule about 4 months to acquire that much steem.    

Step 2 - look for somebody I can manipulate and feed his greed.  Somebody who only posts about money fits in very well with my plans.  He would make a great scape goat for people to hate and he would be easy to manipulate.

Step 3 - upvote my pawn each chance I get to feed the greed and rake in the steem.  I will only support him and nobody else in order to maximize my influence.  I can make a tidy profit at the same time too!

Step 4 - protect the pawn and watch the fire works.

The probability of this working is mixed as it all depends on how people react to my hidden plans.  It will work brilliantly if people behave the way I predict they will.  People hate greed as it produces envy.  They will attack it when they find it.  I know this to be true because I've seen it time and again throughout history.  

Because this blockchain technology functions under anarchy principles, I suspect that people will resort to violence to protect it.  There is no centralized authority to govern behaviour, so people will resort to their own internal governance paradigms.  My objective is to escalate the violence to diminish the reputation of the platform.  The more violent I can make it, the less people will want to use it.  

But there are several big problems with my plan.  If people suddenly realize what I'm doing, the gig is up.  If people don't fall for my bate and continue building the community then I will have to walk away.  If there are people who encourage and support a high level of ethics and morality, it could derail my plans; especially if they influence others to walk the path of peace.  

The reason this will cause my failure is due to the way the blockchain works and because nobody can control it.  Once millions of people get onto the blockchain, it would be impossible for one or even a small group of people to gain control.  

It is critical that I prevent full scale acceptance of the platform.  Once a specific threshold of acceptance and participation is met, my influence will not be enough to over come and take over the platform.  The technology prevents censorship, centralization or any other techniques I've used in the past.  I cannot control it outside of the system, so my only hope is to destroy it from within.

My only hope of obtaining that destruction from within is to cause chaos to prevent acceptance.  Chaos would scare people away, create a loss of hope, low moral and as a result, the loss of acceptance of the platform will result in it's demise.  

However, if hope floats and people over come their bias, focus on building a decentralized community, find ways to resolve their own disputes in a peaceful way, help new users by paying it forward and built a high level of acceptance and trust, then it matters not what I do.  My plan will fail!  

That is the plan from a physical point of view.  

My REAL plan is spiritual, hidden and very obscure.  If I can get people to sell their soul by resorting to violence, name calling, anger, hate, frustration and suffering, then my master would be most pleased with me!  War is very profitable from a spiritual point of view as we can harvest from both sides!

Here is a quote from Minority Report (2002) movie

John Anderton: There's nothing wrong with the system, it is perfect.  
Danny Witwer: perfect. I agree. But if there's a flaw, it's human. It always is.
