Ding ding we have a winner! I've been mostly trying to inform steemians that freedom an anon investor has control of this place for over a month now. The irony is not lost on me, freedom lol, I am so relieved to see a post that seeks to unearth how beholden the bidbot witnesses are to freedom, and also don't forget basically all the top 20 are freedom pawns. Realwolf is teetering near the top 20, I've admittedly been trolling him as to me he is purely a shill and posts nothing but feel good garbage that is always self promotion and politically driven. You can't have a your Vote counts or community building post and also sell yourself, self vote and promote smartsteem all at once..This guy between his two accounts I know of took 6000 USD last month for his I'm the good guy, look Im getting steem listed on stateofdapps junk.

Sorry I just don't like the guy at all, but my point is his antics have worked and that's because he has been groomed for the top, so imagine what the other top witnesses motivations are and have been.

Aggroed seems genuinely legit and has found himself at the top spot, but the entire basically top 30 could change in an instant if freedom so chooses, and that's in the current economic structure.

I've been here 3 months, i knew nothing about blockchain but after a few weeks I'd figured out this was a microcosm of global economics at best and at worst a conspiracy theorists Illuminati gone pseudo decentralized to prey on the crypto fever having internet dwellers wet dream. Nothing from my perspective gives me any reason to invest more than toilet time or insomniac entertainment to this place.

I have learned a great deal, but I've also seen the evolution and the writing on the walls for this failed experiment..

Can it be salvaged? Maybe, but doubtful.

Will steem ever see mass adoption?
No! At least not for many years and that's if it doesn't implode.

At least for me, someone that's sticking around for entertainment first, and learning more about tech and blockchain in general this drama is fantastic!

Oh also a bunch of dimwits posting I promise to be good and not take anyone's stake isn't binding and means fuck all. If I had flag power I'd nail it all as the spam it is... Take the trash out!
