Love the Prometheus reference :)  100% Agree

I've had an idea come up that I think could be pretty great.  Specifically with supporting a lot of mutuallly beneficial exchganges.  I saw how another whale...like randowhale has just started offering their voting services.  Point came up in seeing that...this kind of play can happen on any scale.  Like smart contracts back and forth kind of thing.  My thinking was the relationships being more of a personal nature.  And terms are agreed upon upfront.  Like with randowhale for instance i tested out using that service a number of times....and often it did not result for a net profit on my end. sometimes it did..but was not consistent in any way.

My thinking was that regular steemians could be doing this with one another as a mutual benefit exchange.

An example would be:

You send me 1 SBD i send you 3.00 upvote.  Both party's benefit. the benefits are known up front.  And these types of relationship can happen on any scale.

could be 0.25 SBD for 1.00 upvote.

These numbers are just kind of off the top of my head....but the emphasis i am seeing here is that we can create all kinds of these mutual beneficial voting exchanges that really are quite extraordinary when we think about it.

Creating insured win/win scenarios seems like such a great win.  Obviously any one account holder would only be able to accommodate so much volume.  That's why i think this is cool....because it's a model that can be replicated and used by anyone and everyone.  And it really just encourages positive engagements among participants.

Let me know your thought.

I think i 'll copy and paste...or just write it up again into a post and see what others think.

Cheers Brother :)
