History is indeed crucial in anything one want to engage his/herself in because without knowing what happened yesterday, it will be so difficult to predict what tomorrow will be
Yes history is very vital and @steemsecrets has filled us in on the foundation of steemit. It was very informative as it was educative. The history will help us understand why things are the way they are today and also help us build something that will endure for all times, just like our founding fathers did.
I wanted peeps to also know that there was a time for periods that whales weren't voting. So what will people do then. We did something still. Plus, prior to linear rewards, 500 sp may likely give 1 or 2 cents compared to almost 20 now, cos after the hardfork to implement the change, more power was giving to minnows and dolphins. the experiment occured to see how it will look like if minnow and dolphins had more power.
Thanks for that desire @surpassinggoogle
