Hey @bulleth,
I agree with everything you have said here. The witnesses are supposed to be the Voice of the people not the voice of themselves.

Even my own life is changed and I can sustain a Clinic run on the blockchain with less than $10 per day just because of the SBD prices.

If anything happens to those prices, then our free services may be affected. I myself ain't earning anything from running @air-clinic. But I really don't care about earnings. All I care about is for people that are ill to get better.

There are so many witnesses that should rather spend their time supporting so many good courses on Steem. But they would rather support themselves.

Well, I don't blame them that much. They earn most of their income in Steem Power which they can power down at will. So they don't see that minnows, need this for survival.

I can't even count the surge in Signups during these SBD surge. Even if Steem gets to $100 it will only enrich those who are already here. The only way a newbie or minnow will benefit from this platform is via SBD payouts.

I will say this again, this time more emphatically;

The witnesses are supposed to be the Voice of the people not the voice of themselves.

Support Projects that make sense like @AIR-CLINIC...

Instead of campaigning for a crappy minnow economy.

This is exactly why the rich get richer and the poor, get poorer!
