Clearly, such collusion is improbable, so, it's the same asshole. With all his SP and accounts, this is his dream. As a child, he was the awkward fat kid that never quite understood that being normal was not worth aspiring to, yet, he wasn't, and he got ragged on. He lived, for that day, when he could rag on someone else. He got his wish, a game, where he was able to rack up godlike XP, before anyone else joined the virtual world.
I would guess, also, that he is less than 25 years old.
He better hope no one ever doxes him if this is how he wishes to act. As more people join no telling what type of a loon he might set off. :)
Premined was a big mistake with this ecosystem.
EDIT: Though prior to this all we had was currencies, not other content. So they didn't really have precedent to compare it to. This is one of those hindsight is 20/20 type of situations.
Yo spice, I just rediscovered this conversation you had. I think it is really unhealthy that you assume early investors are "sociopaths". Arent they calling you similar things to shut you up? A debate about the psychologic capabilities of a person or a group of persons should never be the focus of a debate.
Sure if it comes to delegating tasks the specific capabilities of a person matter, but I don't think the whales have any interest in destroying the platform at least not inherently.
There will always be the people who are first. Those people spent time and money to make Steemit what it is today. They deserve their fair share of the cake. I just think the communication and transparency is lacking.
And 25 years concept. Very possible since he called me an old man. :) Which I am fine with being called. I myself am 47.
