Bad idea if you ask me to give in to a couple of bully whales. How is this not going to crash the value of DEC?

One of the reasons for me to play Steemmonsters is because of the @steemmonsters upvote bot trying to survive the non-linear reward curve getting my posts to a point where people who support me are not punished for doing so. 

The way I look at it, these upvotes in a way back up the price of DEC. Having 8$ upvotes means 8$x10x365 = ~30000$ on a yearly basis as a form of dividends linked to DEC which is big part of what gives it actual value. The burning of Dec will disappear while selling pressure will increase. Many people will also likely remove their delegation because of this.

I also think it's kind of not really fair that only SM content will be curated, shouldn't it be the players that get rewarded instead of only the ones that bend their way to make posts on SM just fishing for the upvotes.

Despite this decision, I still think the steemmonsters team has done an awesome job in everything they have done so far and hope all other dapps will take notes. Keep it Up!
