I am not sure this is a matter of capitalism vs communism. It is not like blockchain or Steemit Inc dictating anything.

It seems to me there are many strong opinions among influential members of the community, which is making it controversial topic. At the end of the day all investors/whales need to work it out amongst themselves, as they will be the ones who will decided the future of the platform.

As for average members like myself it is better to stay neutral and not get caught in cross fire as this has become a very delicate matter.

If I was a whale I would have invited them all for a social retreat, where they could bond, work out the differences, compromise and make Steem work for everybody.

Off topic, may I talk to you on steemit.chat?
