Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people (and their money...incessantly).

@curationcococnut is an account that will be tracking large stake holders who upvote themselves.

(essentially paying themselves for their own work).

Leaving aside the narcissistic and very low self esteem aspects to that particular action, the @curationcococnut account is pointing this out to other users, by creating a list of these accounts - and which accounts are engaging in this practice.

This 'self upvote' function is written into the blockchain code - and is fully acceptable within the "code is law" rules of blurt.
'Code is law' allows people who think their work is so good , that they can reward themselves - and is fully permissible in the current version of DpoS.

Only libtards could have ever come up with - and written - these 'laws' .
They disregard any common sense, functions of the free free-market principles, and the understanding of value allocations based of productivity.
(try baking a loaf of bread and then selling it to yourself, and then eating it.... see just how good a business model it is).

It is not 'pro - business' - but it is pro-idiocy.

(if the point of the platform is creating content)

And also IF... that it is not some shady ponzi-esque style construct, that's using financial engineering and manipulation to funnel money upwards for minimal effort.

If it IS some ponzi-esque scheme, then it would make sense for grafters to write such rules into the 'code is law'.

'Numero uno' grifter (and bankster) Amschel Rothschild, said this :

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws..."

The DPoS structure and governance both 'issues and controls the money' AND... it also writes the laws !....Hmmmmm....so no problem there then ! ...lol

...a nice grifting gig - if you're a piece of crap.....Amschel Rothchild's wet dream!
(ever get the feeling you've being cheated?...lol

This has been a subject that I've been raising, ever since steemit launched.

Ok, so that's motivations behind this @curationcococnut account.
Exposing the lack of sound economic principles used in DPoS, through very observable actions.

Little dan left a message earlier on the #curationcococnut account (link below).

....This is what he said:

"I barely have time to entertain you let alone curate with a second account.

Notice the attempted self positioning of himself in this sentence ?
He tries to frame himself as though he's somehow, either so busy, or so valuable in some way, that to even 'entertain me' is a drain on his 'oh so valuable' time..
It speaks volumes about his mindset.
(none of it positive).

It's already been said that the 25 cent up vote is our payment for our time and contributing content. I try to give it two hours a week.
Do you have a problem with our 25 cent compensation for our time?

That's strange, for I have yet to see where 'it's already been said' that 'the 25 cent up vote is your payment for your time'.
By @megadrive?...i.e - The donor of over a million blurt to the curation account, ?
(please link the statement to me if I'm incorrect here - as I may have missed it).

If that statement came from any one of ' the three dwarfs' themselves^ - then it's nothing but a self serving, self justifying, excuse - and one that displays many things that I'm not going to discuss in this post (but will be doing, rest assured).

^(a subjective appraisal, using the metric of 'size of intellect', not physical stature).

It's nothing more than 'self upvoting' in effect...

....and the entire point, and need, for accounts like the @curationcococnut account.

And why are you so nasty and misleading?.."

Little dan's question here says a lot about the psychology behind the mask - does it not?
Let's explore it in more detail...

The word 'nasty' is an adjective.

It's a subjective description. It's NOT objective.

....Which is strange, because @curationcocnut is reporting on objective facts.

....albeit it with some biting humor- but the facts do not alter, they remain the same...
Facts CANNOT be misleading.
They are facts.
It is not subjective.

Ergo, it must be ME that he's referring to as 'nasty' - from his perspective.

I do not find truth nasty - Yet he does.
I do not find facts nasty - Yet he does.

So yes, in that case - I'm guilt of being nasty.

...if the pursuit of truth and facts, is being nasty.

....it also raises another - and far more interesting question:..

Just what kind of psychology would find the pursuit of truths and facts as being a nasty endeavor ?

A principled person ?

..hardly....Well, not unless your principles included lying and the hiding truths as being 'a good moral position'....Hmmm....

...little talks about money.
Not the principles of self voting, or nepotistic practices, or the moral questions of 'right or wrong'.
No, none of those important issues.

....instead, he talks about his time being 'worth something' (so no 'entitlement and privilege' issues going on there, then !...lolol)
....it's about 'his 25 cents' and his 'valuable time'..(said in a very defensive way).

'Do you have a problem with our 25 cent compensation for our time?'...(this defensive response is implying that there may be much deeper guilt issues about money - issues that do not emanate from blurt and 'his 25 cents').

I have my own opinions on what constitutes 'nasty and misleading'.

For example:

I would define one aspect of 'nasty' - as talking behind another persons back. Being two faced.

I would define one aspect 'misleading', as pretending to be one thing, while in reality - being something else altogether different.

But that's my perspective..

My perspectives in life are based on principles of truth and openness, and these being the adult, mature way, to live life...

However - those people who's life compass is guided by acting (being two faced) , and pretending to be something entirely different - inauthentic - would HAVE TO find my principles as being 'nasty' - would they not...?

What I see as 'white' - 'they would see as 'black' - and vice versa.

'They' would find the qualities that come with being authentic, as 'nasty'.

.....Shall we talk about 'projection', next ?

....OR...
Shall we dissect my most fascinating of discussions yesterday with 'in-the-matrix' .....(but doesn't quite understand why, yet...bless).
Maybe an in-depth dissection will help him, and his own lack of self awareness issues.

A short analogy of sorts, could help in that regard !(coming up)...

An analogy is a particular kind of rhetorical device that allows people to demonstrate the relationship between various objects or concepts.

In this case, a short, but very personal story.
One to illustrate the value of factual information....and how personal bias (a cute little bromance in this case) can blind you to that objective value and truth.
