Well said task! It is a shame that the holders of the 99% are not as altruistic as the other 99% of Steemians seem to be. The helpful whales are outnumbered by the ones who are only out for themselves. With so few controlling so much of the SP we really have our work cut out for us as a community fighting the apathy at the top.
Thankfully there are a few, like you mention, Stella, geek, October, aggroed, acidyo and a few others who are really trying to push this platform in the right direction. It is up to all of us to support the whales who are supporting the platform. Our votes may be small, but our voices are many, and by banding together we can make them be heard!
We will see over time. Year over year, the SP in the hands of the 1% did drop. If memory serves me correct, the minnow and dolphin share went from 1% to over 5%. Still in the minority but a huge move upwards. The system is designed to spread the reward pool as long as the minnows and dolphins are using their 20% daily voting power.
There are a number of Whales on here who are really interested in moving steemit forward and all profiting.
Thank you so much. Shall I vote for them as witnesses, will that help?
Nobody can tell you what to do @pjcwart but voting them witnesses, if you think then good people, is a great idea.
Quality people tend to make quality witnesses.
Thank you so much for your comment! Well Said!
