Before I write a word, Thank you for engaging with me in discussion. I thoroughly appreciate and respect your stance and I agree with you - in principle - there is leverage in this life and the game is to learn how to grapple your way up the castle walls to the parapet, at whatever your parapet may be.
My opinions do not carry any personal enmity towards anyone. I do bear some enmity towards the miners' belief that their leveraged value is justified to the tune of over 100,000 times that of another. The enmity is towards the belief, not the miner.
Where this falls down is in the nature of the walls. The parallels with real life end when you see the nature of those walls. Where in life do you see the odds stacked against you by over 100,000 multiple - you don't. You might say that you do ... look at Gates, LeeKaiChing, Mr Zara (name escapes me).
The getting away with stuff is exactly why the price of steem is where it is.
What would you surmise the price of steem might be if the steemit subscribers numbered 100,000? In order to get there, there has to be a few changes. In order to go live and get the 5, 10, 50, 100 million subscribers the system has to change or recognise itself as a hideous feudal system which exploits dreadfully, whilst it is quite happy to accuse Facebook, Twitter and Google for lesser crimes.
Out of rspect I have followed you and look forward to learning from you.
