Your meme is irrelevant. If you had bothered to understand the history of steem, you'd see that dan and colleagues have conspired endlessly to diminish the value of my holdings and the holdings of other whale outsiders like berniesanders. Their efforts have included dubious relaunches, to trying to fork the coin to reduce our curation rewards, to proposing "negation" of "evil whale" voting power. Of course humans will not act like a grateful dog under these circumstances.
Even the entire "reputation" system is a mechanism to reduce the value of our steem. The founders are spiteful towards outsiders and should be subject to criticism.
Don't you realize that all the changes devs propose affect all stakeholders equally?
Instead of putting yourself into outsiders group and spread the FUD around it would be more productive to collaborate and work together to bring more value to the platform.
Nothing affects all stakeholders equally. Each stakeholder has an individual situation which in part determines determines the effects (positive and negative) of changes on that particular stakeholder. This includes not only things like the size of the holding and how it is or isn't broken up into different accounts but also many factors external to the blockchain.
The "holdings" from mining steem early on!
Do you really believe that steem has its current value because of the "miners"? Or because of the developers that gave their life for years on the underlying code and a community that supported them all the years? YES you are very lucky you could participate on steem mining early on. You should be grateful for that! I can not respect artificial-whales that contributed nothing and are bitting non-stop the hand that feed them! I could probably understand and respect more complain-posts that would come from members like @laonie (if I recall the name right) that have invested their hard earning money when steem price was as high as $4. And before making complains about how fair steem mining was read one more time this post because it seems you still don't get it! ...https://bytemaster.github.io/article/2016/03/27/How-to-Launch-a-Crypto-Currency-Legally-while-Raising-Funds/
to diminish the value of my holdings and the holdings of other whale outsiders
@steemed not only legitimacy but also the intended legality. It was essential to the entire strategy outlined in that blog posts that mining be open to outsiders.
Your post is contradictory. Early non-insider miners do give the platform value because we give it legitimacy. Try to actually read the post you linked and understand it from the point of legitimacy. What dan and colleagues do is persistently undermine the legitimacy of steem.
To make that clear I am referring to the mining period and not after...
I mean all accounts that had nothing to do with the project except of mining steem... and the rewards (steem) they got because of just mining early on...
... and don't take me wrong but many have contributed much more than most of existing whales compared with their free-wealth...
I mean it means more when someone that has a total of $100 wealth contributes for example half of them aka $50 compared with a whale sitting on $1M (that was not hard earning money) and contributes a total of $100K for example.....
I am not referring to contributions after early mining like @smooth and @berniesanders did (curie,busy, etc.)

Sounds like an interesting topic for a post if you ever decide to make one.
You could be double-prosperous right?

I thought my comments would have a different outcome to be honest. My mistake.I am very sad about your downvotes @berniesanders...
