I like the idea... the downside being that once many people reach the "middle class", it's their trigger to delegate to UPVU. A few of the people I initially spoke to when I joined had the ambition of earning enough so that they could delegate it and earn a passive income. The "Income" element outweighing the "Social"....

All of the discussions I've had in response to this post have led me to a different line of thinking which definitely warrants a follow-up post at some point. The good news is that the funds in the steem.dao are safe. So I don't know what... if anything will happen to them 🤷🏼‍♂️
