Early Adoption
I know it times it might feel like you are the little kid in the picture and you can't touch the whale. But speaking from experience with Bitcoin, these are patient and smart people that were in the game long before most of us, and likely for the long haul. I started Bitcoin in 2011 and cashed in 200 BTC at a time for $1000 twice so my wife and I could go on a vacation (that would be $130,000 per 200 today). I didn't have the vision to see what it could become, but these people do.
Why do we like the Whales?
These people have likely paved the way for a lot of things you take for granted as just being there to click on. Steem is an evolving thing and it is where it is today because of the people that got involved early, don't lose sight of that. Just think, without them we might not even have the SteemIt site, nor would Steem be valued as high as it is today.
