RE: I'm going to do a little investigation into the down voters who do so for purely dislike, and other reasons as well as their connections to other accounts and popular "services".

I will do the research. You could have saved time. Your choice. And "everyone" is not true, as there are plenty of people that don't know how to mine or have the knowledge necessary to do so. They also have to know about it.

So IF they knew about it, and had the skills to mine you would be correct. In that I agree with you.

Also I am not one of those that says your steem or power should be stripped from you. That is a slippery slope and who would it be aimed at next? It also would destroy any confidence in the currency.

So regardless of HOW you got it I would not advocate that. I just know that people usually bring up what is now being called "Premined" yet I hadn't dug that info out of the blockchain yet.

There's no such thing as a "premine". This coin was launched on Bitcointalk. If people aren't smart enough to mine or don't have the resources to figure it out that's neither my nor Steemit inc's. fault.

Obviously I didn't spend millions on Steem and mined much of it. Nobody in their sane mind would put that much into this project.

I didn't say it was.

Thank you.

"Steemit - Nobody in their sane mind would put that much into this project." That's a nice slogan I guess.

I am joking, I think you care a lot more about the platform than your attitude might suggest.
