Being a "fanatical Christian" does not make you a good person. In fact it is the opposite most of the time. Historically Christians have also done many atrocities with the crusades and the inquisition and many more that I do not know of. Today there are people who believe that Christian based religions want the ordinary people remain ignorant so that would be easier for them to control and manipulate them. Disclaimer, these are not my personal views but from the ones I have read on the internet. I personally do not care.

Anyway for my on topic question. Could there be a chance that the founders of Steemit have miscalculated how much inflation they should give their system? Because it is obvious that they did not expect this fall to happen in a very short time. I speculate their real aim for this experiment is to have a smooth and slow trend up for Steem.
