I'm really grateful that you are taking your time to answer me. It helps me get better at explaining why the superlinear reward is inherently superior to linear reward or rather it's making it obvious I'm not doing such a good job. 

> Unfortunately, we live in a world where people will attempt to game the system by voting for themselves. @steemitblog

Over time a growing portion of the SP will be upvoting only themselves or account they control be it whales or minnows. Those accounts, posts, comments will receive votes from people who aren't realizing they are voting for such accounts, bots making the portion of those people grow even faster. 

> If everyone voted for themselves then the result would be simple interest payments and have no economic impact. @steemitblog

**The current incentives push everyone to vote for themselves. If everyone ends up voting for themselves, SP lose its use and the demand will be none and everyone will have lost but those who have invested, or mined and keep their Steem, they will have lost much more than those who have next to nothing.**

Why would anyone should try to make one good post a day and exchange their 9 other votes for 9 other votes of the same weight rather than simply upvoting themselves 10 times on random comments? 

## **Investors are looking for the best place to invest their money which pushes them to upvote themselves exclusively. This will ultimately renders SP useless.**

## **What give Steem value as you so often mentioned are the investors and investors are looking for the best, not second best invest.** 

## **Under the superlinear, it would take a lot fewer self upvotes to kill the demand for Steem but the combined people with this power are those who have the most to lose. and no one can ultimately gamed the system under superlinear.**

Dan didn't point out the largest whaleS he pointed out the very largest whale as this is what superlinear ultimately give advantage to. 

> As the largest whale, Steemit has the greatest incentive to be a good whale.  @dan  

 The very largest whale ultimately decides but they can also be policed by a group of whales.

I've proven superlinear is superior to linear. You might get it, you might not. I might be wrong you might be right and I'm not saying this lightely in a derogatory way. I mean it but no matter what, I plan on writing a post about it. Whether or not, I will share it publically depends. My intentions are noble.

> You seem to have drawn a line between the large stakeholders as 'good' and the people who earned their stake as 'not caring'. 

I might have seemed to draw such line but I never draw such line. Someone who has 1 millions SP care to the same extent than someone who has 1 SP, they simply don't care to as many SP and whether they mine, blog or buy to get it it's still the same market price when they come to sell. 

Should Steem be giving free Steem to those who don't engage in proof-of-brain? 

Should Steem give the biggest advantage to those who don't engage in proof-of-brain?
