Hmm, you make some good points here I hadn't considered about the future scarcity of steem and the whales powering down. I do think that utopian is an excellent project and could have a big impact on the steem blockchain once it really gets going. This makes me less concerned about at all the crap I keep reading about upvote bots, steemit interface issues etc. Maybe I will buy some more and power up as well!
