I do not agree about your concern.
It will take some time, but every other day a new dolphin is born.
so these guys will vote wisely, as they know how hard it is to score a good vote from a whale or dolphin.
In the end, i am sure the system will adjust. i received a vote from dan for my post , it jumped to 5500USD, but he was only the catalyst( https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/steemit-has-insane-numbers-check-this-out ) for a post, i put in everything i learned through different tutorials.
after that i put together this post, so others can have a Goldpost too:

Once people start to understand how, when and what to post, these tutorial post will fade away, and quality content you are looking for will be created.
Its too early and not enough users yet, imagine what will happen once user numbers double , 3x, 4x, 10x!
You cant read everything, as the content will flow in like crazy!
Yes, it's all about numbers. The steemwhales are jumpstarting an entire economy with their voting power, but it will dilute over time as more and more people find their way here. I can't wait to see the first $100k post with 10,000 votes.
