>As for the rest of your opinion on what and how the economics work out it is an experiment and I want to see us attract investors.

It's neither opinion nor about how economics work out,  whatever that nonsensical assertion was meant to say.  He was talking about the function of the reward pool being turned on its head and being no longer a Reward pool but a product.

What's the experiment? The one without any control or hypothesis and the one that nobody knows anything about, the nameless experiment of "attracting investors"? Is this a multilevel marketing scam? Did you end up here simply to make money regardless of why and what the function you condone abuses what it was created for? Wait,  I'm attempting to drag the conversation back into the realm of what money cannot buy,  or a community, let's discuss what will get us to the moon for a moment before the bubble bursts and people are left in ruin because you think people throwing money at the system is the reason we're all here. Heck Steem was created to get investors. 

> I stand by my view that if investors come it will not be for the content or a perfectly functioning reward system. It will be for the tech, the traffic or the crypto.

So the tech doesn't include content or a properly functioning system,  rewards and all and you're OK with people speculating with Steem, because crypto. Because Steem is for investors.

>There are hundreds of sites that people can share their writing. Most of them do not have investors.

Ergo Steem was created for investment. Brilliant deduction, the grand nameless experiment provides. 

As for the accusations that you were attacked, you deserve an apology,  or it simply befuddles you that your financial situation might be why you're so vocal about "it's your stake do whatever you want with it" and equally "Steem is for investors, who are looking for a quick pump or "tech" and here's another less vacuous label that conveniently is wide open to interpretation to mean anything and everything CRYPTO" yet we were talking about the lack of a functional curation (promotion? **Hell yeah,  it's your stake,  hashtag-voturbation for life)  system and soon enough we are going to discuss a functional moderation system that's both decentralized and redundant proof,  or STABLE and  SENSIBLY IMPLEMENTED. 
The attack you  perceive now will be far less interpretive than now,  and we will have a way to put your mouth up to the light of scrutiny next time you try to spread Bullshit,  ain't anyone wasting their votes,  they will stake their very name,  account and stake behind that Bullshit and the cost will be so big that a mass exodus will take place and from that day forward we will forget all this circular motion "adjusting" what we know won't work,  instead of allowing for you and your accusations of attack to have a redress as simple as a button that actually flags and isn't only a downvote to those that know what's at stake.
