Well I don't think the problem is the use of (OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY), which was added to Bitcoin (
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki) and nice to see being used in other coins.
The problem STEEM has is it was 99% NinjaMined which is worst and more dishonest then PreMined. This was amplifed with public post in other threads. Gliss has STEEM listed proper as it is right now in my eyes, like Ripple.
99% NinjaMined is inaccurate. If you want to talk about founder mining then 60% NinjaMined is right.
The question of "origin of tokens" is almost irrelevant, all that matters is "current ownership" and "present value".
