I am struck by how the strategies of corruption, which seek to diminish the power of others so that their own power is relatively greater, and beneficence, which seeks to increase the power of others so that together we can become stronger, contrast.

As we gain understanding of the mechanisms that enable corruption and beneficence, primarily stake-weighting, particularly on Steem, we will see implementations of the blockchain that prevent corruption and prompt beneficence. If Steem cannot be reformed to solve these challenges, new implementations of this very new technology will.

Evolutionary forces will demonstrate that societies that mutually reinforce each other create greater power, and those the undermine each other decrease their strength.

It's just a matter of time and incremental improvement to the technology.
