My 6 months here have been awesome - but objectively speaking, I agree Re:stake decentralization and marketing.

As to the former, of course I understand asking a bunch of folks to divest from a valuable asset is both not entirely fair and not likely to happen.

But one of the first articles I read about steemit from 2016 mentioned the large holdings of the currency in a select few founders/early users/miners as one of the reasons it set off "pyramid scheme" alarms.

Fact is, those optics have not really changed - and they remain a big obstacle for any kind of mass adoption.

As far as marketing is concerned - I don't entirely get it. Seems like the one problem - over centralized holdings of the currency - could be ameliorated by divesting large amounts of that currency and spending money on a larger marketing plan, which would then increase the value of the currency overall and make stake decentralization's bite a bit less fierce to boot.

But I don't claim to have the answers to these issues - and my steemit experience has been unbelievable in almost every respect. From where I'm standing I have very little to complain about.
