I believe you are correct. I am under the assumption the quickest route is to put your belief in the system in monetarily, placing a financial stake into the platform. It feels to me that it is an incentive reward for staking a claim into a long term position. On the surface I cannot fault the logic with that as someone who invests their money into the platform deserves a greater share of the reward than someone like myself who has yet to put any financial skin in the game.
