Hive Meritocracy - I am calling and challenging Top 20 witnesses to trust @leofinance as a major witness

avatar

LEO Finance community cannot be ignored anymore by the HIVE Consensus team and I am challenging it to recognize the benefits that it brings to the table and to support @leofinance witness as they did with other ones which might have brought less value. We need to show to the users that it is an ecosystem built on meritocracy and that just knowing the right whale in this ecosystem it is not enough. The Hive blockchain forked from the Steem and was sustained by so many members and communities, so it is fair to show proof that we didn't move to a closed oligarchy structure.

The challenge is for Top 20 witnesses to recognize @leofinace witness for the development and value brought to Hive blockchain and vote for it in order to be able to contribute more and drive change for the better. Here are the intended recipients and hopefully at least some of them will demonstrate their true nature, the culture and core values that drives the Hive blockchain.

If you restrain yourself from giving the trust to @leofinance witness just because you are afraid for your place, than for sure it is something wrong that you are doing. Don't be a showstopper for progress, encourage it and let it drive innovation and be an effect for a better blockchain for all of us. We need to lift this ecosystem and recognize the results from those involved in the space, the tools and projects they are releasing and their work and involvement in this space. Only this way we can move forward and make Hive a greater blockchain and one that will welcome anyone that can challenge through their work and results what we build there.

Let's make Hive an open and meritocracy ecosystem!

Maybe I'm not that familiar with the situation, but is the the other leaders really stopping any witnesses from Leo to come forth?

Isn't it just that people have to vote for Leo to be able to rise in the ranks?

Yes, but it is a matter of support and recognition and usually whales are supporting each other. With this one I want to open a discussion that they should also support the other incoming witnesses and the growth should be by meritocracy and not just holding the Consensus locked just because you know the right people.

And that I truly believe that with everything that LEO Finance did in the space, it deserves a look from the Top Witnesses and maybe consider lifting it as well.

Yeah okay now I understand and agree with what you are saying. We should look at this a big community with several smaller ones inside of it. Use the strengths of each other to make the collective even better.

But are we even sure all people on Leofinance knows about the Leo-witness? Maybe add it to the front-end to make people aware and vote for it. I just did after reading about it in this post

Yes, that was one thing I was thinking the same that it needs more visibility.

Making assumptions on why people vote or do not vote for a certain witness is out of line. It's up to each stakeholder to decide who they want to support.
As for myself I'm already voting for them, seems like you didn't do your homework before copy pasting the whole top 20 :p

Yes, it is up to anyone, I just wanted to bring broader awareness between the top witness and thanks for supporting this nevertheless.

I don't understand the culture of Hive ecosystem, so I don't know why the community is voting for top 20 witnesses.

However, I do support @behiver's initiative to promote LeoFinance as a top witness. Based on meritocracy alone, we got to admit LeoFinance is going to be the face of Hive if things are going the way it is now.

Good point. I've voted for Leo Finance as witness on all my accounts and removed a vote from a few different top 20 witnesses.
