I'm still trying to get my footing here. I only wish I had been active since I signed up last November. Instead I didn't really start using this until a few weeks or couple months ago.

My attitude is I do not buy anything, but collect and hodl. So not an "investor" though time should be a commodity I guess.

But what strikes me is anytime you have a situation where whales (big influence and lots of $$$ behind them) they will influence the direction of any project, platform or mission.

What will be interesting to see is how steemit weathers those changes and maintains its initial directive (or adapts that directive in order to survive).
