I understand your point and you are not wrong. You need quite a big amount of CTP to be supported. Since CTPSB is a project owned by the community, it's also important that we support the community behind it. In my opinion the best indicator for belonging to the community is the stake of CTP tokens. If I look at Splinterlands, it's not possible to earn without having made some investments into cards. Here it's not different, why would the community support people with little or no stake? The stake requirement gives an incentive for people to stake and hold CTP. This, in the long term is positive for all CTP holders I believe.

I'm always open for suggestion how it could be done in a better way however :-).
