Sort:  

The money might be diffusing back to where it came from. In an open system I find it ok not to do anything about it because the contraction is just a correction, but if it happens in a closed system like steemit, people will go elsewhere. At least that would be a negative scenario.

my credit union account would be annoyed to discover that steemit is a closed system.

If buying yourself in to become big and suck in the Steem is the only way to become big, then it is a ponzi scheme.

edit

But much more importantly: It would make the site boring.

I haven't bought ANY steem.

Me neither and I do feel successful here;-)

That means, maybe the system works just fine and it's just the users who are doing it wrong (and some getting everything right)... just like in life^^
