I agree with you @wdougwatson.
Fortunately there are people like @fulltimegeek, @stellabelle, and @steevc who have/had a lop of SP and delegated it out. Even @ned did the same thing with his delegation to utopian.
The system is meant to change that and it is...the percentage of steem ownership by the top 10% decreased year over year....and it will keep doing it. Wait until there are 5M people posting articles and sharing in the reward pool. Each of them will be taking a little slice of the newly created coins.
Also, there are discussions/ideas being tossed around about the SMTs to make sure the whales are not the only ones sharing in that....it will be interesting to see how things unfold.
Yeah things like zappl and dtube, once tokenized will be the final nail in old social medias coffin.
I think once things are opened up after the fork in the first quarter, things will really explode.
And here we are, early adopters. This is awesome.
