Hive account@jerrybanfield
I see that you are always very optimistic about steemit...I am unfortunately not so optimistic. Steemit has a big problem, the bad distribution of wealth (few have much and many have little). we have equated steemit with the distribution of wealth in the real world.

Recently the account number 1 million was created...but only 60,000 are really active...How is it understood that a platform as spectacular as Steemit only 6% is active? and of those 60,000 How many share quality content? ... How many people make projects for the growth of the platform? and even worse, the most powerful only limit themselves to the nothing ethical sale of votes

if we want steemit to grow we have to solve that bad distribution. we must finish with that sale because it generates an even worse distribution
and if the powerful do not want to give the purpose for which they created the platform that is to share quality publications and create projects for their growth that they begin to delegate their SP to different communities and within them to those that work correctly without abusing the blockchain and so the wealth will be distributed better and more people will be able to reward quality. Otherwise people will continue to leave steemit for not seeing future.
If this continues, the future of steemit is very doubtful and the value of the currency will decrease due to lack of confidence. and the powerful will continue to have all their millions but they will be millions of nothing
