You could be double-prosperous right?
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! ...

to diminish the value of my holdings and the holdings of other whale outsiders
I am very sad about your downvotes @berniesanders...
I thought my comments would have a different outcome to be honest. My mistake.
@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...
I am not referring to contributions after early mining like @smooth and @berniesanders did (curie,busy, etc.)
... 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.....
