I think more and more people are seeing what you describe... There are many people that contribute a significant amount of effort that I see get frustrated and leave. I think the only way to solve this is for the price of steem to drop again (sub $0.50)... Only then will the people have a chance to gain power relative to the greedy few at the top. (not that there aren't a few good ones, but the vast majority have failed to understand their power is only as good as the system they support)
They will learn the hard way, and I will have no pity on them when the system resets.
Great post!
Its almost like you've read the rest of my series :) At least you get how it works. It feels like its you and me and about three other people who actually get how the Steem Price/SP thing works.....
yes... I understand exactly! I try to tell people its not a bad thing when it drops, but for some reason they can't grasp that its a chance to go back in time (and hopefully take the place of the people that abused their success).
The market cap of STEEM was over $2 billion when I started. I would rather establish my stake at $200 million than $2 billion... and $20 million would be even better.
The people at the top have blown a helluva opportunity in my opinion, but I guess this is a bit like Darwinism. Each mutation gets a little more developed and refined. I myself am super excited to see the plunge occur, because I can't believe the antipathy towards the obvious abuses that even a newbie could see.
My plan is to gather as many people that are legitimately trying to create value here and network them together so that we become a massive force in the future and hopefully have some power to use the system in a way that benefits more than a few.
I will go check out the rest of your series, you are one of the other 4 people that understand it, so I owe you that ;) lol
