That is very true also.
I love when people talk about the whales being able to buy in at 6 or 8 cents after the price collapsed 90%.....like they would have taken the risk and jumped on STEEM at that price.
Hell few were buying at $.85 a month ago.
They were willing to take the risk and it paid off, I say kudos! It always gets me the people who write posts about how unfair things are and are amazed that they don't make a bunch of money on them. Nobody ever said this was a democracy or that rewards are automatic. I've done well enough on here to pay my bills, after starting with nothing- but I worked my ass off to do it (and still do!)
I agree...most of my SP was purchased...I was fortunate to have some money to tap into to get it. However, I am at roughly 1/4 earned, 3/4 bought....
But as you said, it is work. And what does fair mean anyway? Is it unfair that someone took thousands of dollars and bought STEEM when the price was crashing? I guess it is unfair they had the money to begin with.
Nowhere does it say Steemit is a handout.
Absolutely correct... and I have no idea what fair means. I'm 72 and still trying to figure it out- I think it's one of those childish notions we're supposed to outgrow.
