100% upvote on this one....you really took the time to nail it.
Thank you for standing up for the rest of us. It is one thing when newer people complain, or those who do not contribute too much. However, it is something different when one with a lot of SP stands up and calls out others on the same level.
@transisto, you are one of the good whales on here. Over the past couple months, I have seen your votes around....isnt that is what is suppose to happen. I know there are a number of whales working hard to make this a better place. That said, sadly, you are in the minority.
We all know that steem is going to be a very hot blockchain. Personally, I am not worried at all about steem and the price in the future. It will explode based upon what I already have seen. That said, steemit might be an app destined for the dust bin.
When the "rich" want to play games, others tune out. Again, I know this isnt all whales, yet with the voting power that a whale has, even a 10% vote on someone with <50 rep would make them very happy.
The foundation for greatness is here...however, do people screw it up with greed? That is the billion dollar question. There are plenty of other ways to get involved with this blockchain even if steemit is deemed to not be it....with the other apps out there and more being developed, the path to content creation is there.
