Yes I understand there's a cap after 250K SP and that all of this is done to prevent bots, i'm just saying it makes me feel uncomfortable.

I'm also convinced it's one of the main barriers to the mass adoption of steem. If I feel this disempowered with 11K SP, it's a feeling that's only going to be magnified for the 95% of people who have less of a stake than me.

There is a solution.... verified voting, it's either that or the effective disenfranchisement of 95% of users. There is a choice.

I do have some sympathy for the view that the more invested someone is the more of a say they should have, but that's 'cos I'm reasonably well invested.

It's just one of things on steem that I struggle with.
