What happens if a whale sells their $100 votes?
The larger you are the more invested you are in the overall system. At that point you're much better off having a smaller share of a growing pie than a larger share of a smaller pie. Whether this truly works or not, we'll see, but the idea is that the incentive structure is such that people will be encouraged to police their own behaviour.
The whitepaper also talks about "crab mentality". Any time someone is seen to be abusing their power, it is possible for the crowds of smaller voters, as long as the SP is spread widely enough, to pile on the downvotes in response.
They go zip-lining across Niagara Falls?? I have tried for 2 weeks to wrap my mind around all the many concepts that are involved with this site. From embedding a pic to syntax and coding. To Bitcoin, bitshare, values how to transfer. The first is sinking in a little quicker than the latter. I decided to continue to post things that I feel are interesting for people and to stop trying to get grey hairs with all the figuring lol. here's a link to my ziplining blog I think you'll enjoy it. I upvoted you if you would be so kind.
