To understand where we are now, we first must understand our beginnings.
I am assuming from this moment forward that we know our start point. And we know all about the Alpha testing starting in April 2016, with 150 accounts, as stated by Ned.
In this post I would like to discuss 1 single account, this account was opened on the 31st March 2016. One day before Alpha testing went live. This account, according to everyone I have ever talked to, including every witness I have asked, and every long standing account on here, is responsible for who is in the top 20 witnesses on steemit. If anyone wants to explain to me how all these people are wrong, please do so below.
This one account is making a very large amount with regards to steem and or SBD (depending on the 10% inflation) every day, from bidbot delegations. Please see below.
Please take a moment to look at the above screenshot to note the amount of sp and liquid $ (sbd) - That sbd was at 1 million the last time abh12345 made a post with regards to the account with the most sbd in it, and that from memory was 2 months ago, without checking back on his posts, I will leave that as a guess, which I know is not like me, though I am pushed for time this morning.
I also do not have time this morning to check if the missing 600k went into sp or to some exchange or alt accounts. I will check later today no problem.
I have tried to find any post ever made by freedom and found not 1. I note also freedom has never talked to anyone on here hence no posts below.

Not following anybody
Some people claim to know who freedom is, I have no idea how anyone would know freedom, unless someone claims to be freedom on discord, though even if they did, without them ever saying anything on steemit, I am not sure that would prove anything.
Freedom is certainly making a lot of money on here from bidbot delegations, to check today's payout simply head to here https://steemd.com/@freedom.
Freedom is a mined account.
Mined true
Estimated Account Value
The estimated value is based on an average value of Steem in US dollars. $3,883,058.28
This is part of the foundation post series.
To maintain transparency requires basing information on facts, not just on hearsay or accusations. A sound platform for any discussion requires fact, not fiction. If anyone has any information they could add with regards to either of these accounts, it would be highly appreciated.
Speculation from me, not fact! If freedom is part of steemit inc, then we have never had for even 1 day a decentralized platform. If I can prove this is a steemit inc account - I will, and it will simply be a matter of time, and linking wallets. For now, that is PURE SPECULATION!......
Ned, many moons ago, talked about an angle investor. I dont think its steemit inc and i did a rather large data analysis post many months back.
Keep in mind also when misterdelegation was set up, its funding was less than freedom, suggesting steemit inc didnt want any of their accounts as large as freedoms. This may have changed now.
The only thing i didnt analyse was the vote time from freedom and posdible related accounts, auto voting wasnt a think back then so there could be some hints in there

It is the alpha account that is intriguing me the most at the moment, it has 41sp and no delegated out sp, yet is getting large amounts of payouts from buildawhale, ocd-bot, appreciator. The amounts tie in with the freedom account, as the freedom account is not receiving as much as it should from delgated out sp, the two people that can confirm that it is linked, are the two owners of those bots. alpha also leads to deepcrypto8 etc etc, now can you decode this lol #2LjX3zFJvA4juSDQCUvSTa3ZV8fdWZuGWBCctmKQWEWscvFeQ7qRR9N4a8wf7bwZSPC4M9hR63dNPbJzsAYkXZPKcYXjRNGmQXEWjF65nGUxiZRCy9m9TkoiC2i.
Alpha takes payment for sp leased to bots. Deepcrypto is an exchange. Alpha has also never been tied to steemit inc. Can you tie them together? Haha i did ask one of the bot owners before, but they remained hush on the topic.

Like doctors lol. Thanks for the info all the same.
Personally i dont think steem is decentraiszed enough. I do wish you luck with ur investigation, you might find addational info in the investigations that i did. Maybe I will return to it to help you, i did get a comment not so long ago to analyse the vote times 😉

Superb, I hope you do join in, the more the merrier. The accounts created on the 24th March 2016 are my main interest, as I do believe there was only dantheman on here that day. Those include admin, administrator, loads of steemit1, steemit2, etc all the way to steemit70 and possibly beyond. Plus = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410943.0
If I knew how to decode this #2LjX3zFJvA4juSDQCUvSTa3ZV8fdWZuGWBCctmKQWEWscvFeQ7qRR9N4a8wf7bwZSPC4M9hR63dNPbJzsAYkXZPKcYXjRNGmQXEWjF65nGUxiZRCy9m9TkoiC2i as that is a message from freedom to alpha, then yes, maybe I could link them. :-)
Cheers mate please keep this info coming and I hope more people that have helpful info will contact you. Hope you have a top day :)

Cheers bro, just heading out for the day in the sunshine, have a superb day/night right back at ya. :-)
Interesting finds my friend! That’s a whole lotta value for not a single post. Are they a comment whore I wonder let me see..
Went down a research hole with freedom. Tied to recovery account paladin, tied to Steem recovery and it goes on. Lots of withdrawals from those accounts!
Freedom just cashed out 5k SBD, must be nice huh?
Nice work my friend, glad someone is joining the ride. This is what a clear blockchain is for, transparency or nothing bro.
By the looks of it freedom is directly connected to the owner(s) of Steemit. Look at the recovery accounts and it creates a trail. Linked to paladin, which also has 5 other alt accounts all with 0 voting power so bot accounts. They list Steem as the recover account which then lists steemitadmin as their recovery. Circle of friends it seems.
They are all mined accounts too it seems unsure of what that means. Our accounts are not mined accounts.
You could mine early days on here, though in ned or dans words "2. We have mined the vast majority of blocks thus far and we do not attempt to hide it" Source
I'm loving all this. I don't have a clue about any of this stuff because I am ony here around 6 months. Very interesting.
It goes a lot deeper, though a lot want to bury heads in sand, so I may just not bother any more.
Check out the comments on neds recent post ref the live stream . Especially from sir cork

He is like a politician, he worms out of answering any question he is not comfortable with, he will not admit to squandering 500 million US $, when steem was 7 cents each, this site was thriving, now it is worth over 30 cents and somehow he feels it is not working, he is a poor excuse of a man, and like Dan Larimer, he can never finish anything he starts, including a sentence, let's hope his lack of finishing prowess leads to him not replicating!
