"Like in the real world, some have more influence than others on a market and this paradigm in any free market will never go away..."
Well, isn't the whole idea of blockchain technology to create a medium of exchange (whether it be information in the present case or currency) wherein OUTSIZED influence (as in corporate Google or the US Federal Reserve) IS made to go away? How is handing Jeff Berwick 15k for his 3 paragraphs respectful to that idea? In blockchain terms, the presence of 'whales' seems like an ongoing 51% attack on the integrity of the chain. That may be 'the way the world works' but it seems to me that what people are hoping for in this new technology is a world that works a bit differently.
