I agree with most of what you put forth here, but I have to admit, it's still kind of hard to watch the gap increase between those who were here early and the rest of us, but I guess that's what we get for not getting in earlier.
I know what you mean, but at the same time they are the reason we even have a platform today to complain about how little we are making :) If those early adopters didn't put their time, resources, and energy into getting the project from a dream to a reality - it would be nothing more than an idea. They have a lot, but IMO they are fully entitled to what they earn. I hope that we can earn them billions, because that means everyone that is here right now has the potential to earn millions :)
I had the same impression when I got here too, but I worked my tail off for a year and a half. Now 1.5 years later, I'm probably one of the people that the newcomers will point to as being way better off because I was here first. You will always be here first compared to everyone else that comes after - and if we continue to grow the platform and the value of STEEM, then no matter what time you join - you will always have the opportunity to work you way in for a slice of the pie, then work with the rest of us to grow the value of that share :)
I look forward to the day when the spell checker recognizes that "Steem" isn't a mispelling.
Haha, I like that! Me too :)
I just started accepting Steem and SBD for payment for my side business selling Cinnamon Glazed Nuts. I made my first post about it an hour ago.
That's pretty awesome! We totally need more of that. I just re-steemed your post.
Oh, I agree. They have put forth the investment and therefore reap their just reward. I also like the perspective you put forth regarding them paving the way. I do think that questioning algorithms is helpful nonetheless. There is room for improvement and voices (even the complainers) show perspective. Not saying we should all be trying to please everybody, but sometimes one change will improve aspects from many perspectives.
Thank you so much. I don't know why I didn't think about doing it sooner. Your resteem has certainly gained a lot of exposure for the post, and I am grateful for it.
