Hi Chris,
I just read your post, a lot of the math stuff is a little too advanced for me to understand right now. The good news is that the steem price is going up. Isn't it in theory possible for all of us now to one day in the future hold as much steem power as the whales do now?
I think it is a shame they use their voting power to downvote content creators who are trying to prove this to be a viable and sustainable publishing platform for independent creators who are taking it seriously.
thank you for the post and for looking out.
