Most steemians started as minnows
Almost all start as plankton/red fish. Less than 10K have built up the million vests needed to be a minnow. Potentially though, a million vests (right now, a bit more than 493 SP) might be worth a heckuva lot if Steem moons.
I just meant that very few of us bought a large amount of STEEM to power up at the beginning. Most started at the bottom, wherever that is. Thanks @preparedwombat!
