Hi @justinsunsteemit.  I must point out that the reasons you put forward to support witnesses are reflective of a poor understanding of Steem, and will poorly protect the community, the token price, and the blockchain itself from the actual threats each face.

I won't belabor the details, because there are nearly 600 replies, and no one will see this one.

You do not understand Steem, but you are a billionaire and must put forward your agenda, so your nescience draws panderers, as you intend, and this combination of bad understanding and sycophantic worship acts as a toxic poison on society.  I strongly recommend you stop acting like a billionaire and act just as a human being new to social endeavor about which you much learn.  Quit posting as @justinsunsteemit, open a new account that no one associates with you, and start asking questions as a nobody to get straight answers that are not degraded by economic pressures.

I presently completely oppose the things you support, because they are the result of nescience and misunderstanding, not because of any personal disregard or antipathy.  You may not be able to accept this truth because of the panderers and yes-men you are surrounded with that have skewed your view of reality.  That is not my fault, and does not benefit you.  

I will speak forthrightly, from which a rational man with an open mind could benefit.  So, understand this: no one here opposes you because you will make them money.  Insofar as you are opposed, it is because you are doing things that will cost them money.  

Do think about that.

Thanks!
