Upvoted... I don't like what is going on, but it does make sense as the foundation of crypto (BTC) is finite like gold is and that will trigger a mindset of scarcity. Especially when times are down and the steemprice is going sideways as we await August 1st since many BTC owners are putting it back to cash at least for now (they may lose the whole lot).

I'd like this to not be the case as many would. But we are in early stages and there is much evolution to be had.

I agree though with some of the comments here which is that selfishness will inhibit us where as giving will enhance block chain and move us further towards the goal of decentralisation.

I tried to explain on these two posts: Not trying to spam. I just did not want to be too long winded here.
