That absolutely doesn't feel like a healthy way to start on the platform. Not only would it be horribly expensive to someone who is starting at ground zero, but it's a selfish mindset. Not even in the regards to the reward pool, in and of itself, but because of the fact that even after more than a handful of people bought into this "strategy", it'd be completely broken.

It's like the concept of nuclear weapons. They only create leverage for one entity if that entity is the only one to have them. When the entities become multiple, it no longer offers any advantages, only the potential of absolute decimation.

This guy is basically trying to sell a $10 nuke to every person walking through the Steem doors. As you said, I mean that completely figuratively and not as an insult, truly, but it's just the way I see it.

In all aspects of life, people shouldn't be proud to act in a way that if everyone were to act that way, it wouldn't work. The 'me, me, me' mindset is stale.
