It's pretty clear that the rich on steem have earned their place. They were here first, they are the creators. Of course they should have this control over the platform. Plus, it's getting more decentralized every day with new people joining. The "rich" are quite generous for making this platform for us, and it's in their best interest in making last forever.

Time will tell if they've truly earned their place, won't it? I suspect that they've somewhat over-compensated early adopters. The interesting thing is that there's nothing stopping a consortium of dissatisfied minnows from creating their own Steem clone from scratch and designing whatever compensation scheme they want.
If someone clones Steem and it attracts a lot of attention away from the original Steem, then we'll know that the rich have overcompensated themselves. It's as simple as that.
For my part, I don't harbor any resentment towards the system's founders, but I know a lot of them from Bitshares and have a lot of respect for them. That's not true of most of the minnows here.
I agree! Steemit is still evolving so fast! If you can foresee the growth you can take action now! Mining the right content for the future is key! We are exiting the old paradigm into a Revolution! Viva La Steem!
