RE: An idea to improve Governance on Hive
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I proposed exactly such witness voting years ago. I was right then, and you are right now. Guess why it didn't change? Because the whales want to be absolutely in charge of the witnesses. They are the man. The control what code the witnesses run. They control Hive.
When Steem began ~36 whales mined up commanding stakes to control the witnesses. Today ~36 whales have a commanding stake to control the witnesses, and witness voting 30x stake weighting is why.
Thanks!

I can understand that the whales want to make sure that the chain goes on the way they want but the present system leaves very little space to other ways of thinking and approaches. Which is bad for inovation and decentralisation in my opinion.
