Agree with the first part, but I'm generally going to be against any type of airdrop because there really isn't a good way to do it fairly.

Plus it feels a bit... plunderous...

It didn't take long for the witnesses to turn into central banking oligarchs.

Let me ask you a question lad. What's the difference between:

  • A bank with only 20 stakeholders controlling everything within the bank.

  • A Blockchain with 20 consensus witnesses controlling everything within the blockchain.

The only difference is, with being a stakeholder in a bank, you will get to keep your honor and think logically for growth.

Being a consensus witness makes you a politician and a demagogue, and thus, welcome ass-kissing and circle-jerking.

Well excluding Tron/Steemit holdings is in a sense an "act of war" (a final one), it can only be achieved if real witnesses are restored and that can only happen by active witness voters.

If Tron/Steemit holdings "evaporate" then the deflation benefits go both for inactive users and active witnesses supporters and that would be even more "unfair" as inactive users don't collaborate in overthrowing the tron dictator.
