Steemit. Have a thought for the Investors. They have suffered worse than anyone.

Acknowledgements
Firstly, thank you to the several people who have been outstanding welcomers and who have not viewed my posts with scorn but have accepted and appreciated the approach I have taken in coming to my conclusions. ( Hive account@krnel and Hive account@stellabelle have been stand-outs.)

There are several accounts into which I have looked and the role of the investor has been a very interesting one. Today a very helpful submission came from a user called Hive account@investors. STEEM TOP 1000 Alltime Investors.

I was surprised that there were so many. I was also somewhat startled at the amount: over $6.5 million. I had no chance of scrutinising them all so I went through the top twenty.

These are the results, though the information provided by Hive account@investors is horribly wrong. The true figures are actually worse as these Estimated Values include all the Rewards granted via the platform. There are also inconsistencies in these figures as the graphics show. The raising or lowering of a balance in an account does not tell the full detail as there may be transfers involved, not just sales or purchases. Multiple Accounts seems to be a very undesirable feature of steemi.com

In response to another user questioning the validity of the data, Hive account@investors admitted to having been made to write the post by the ‘whales’. I am not sure as to whether this is actually true or not.

I see that there are, in fact, two investors in the top twenty five accounts: Hive account@hendrikdegrote and Hive account@thejohalfiles (at 22 and 25 respectively).

There is at least 64% of voting power in front of each of them. Their chances of influence would not really stand a chance. So is the Game of Control, though it sits uncomfortably in this scenario of Social Media.

I find it hard to countenance the superior weight of a month's mining over the value of cash of such magnitude. Maybe the deal was well spelled out and understood. The value of the steemit account as a Blockade is understandable. The level of influence potential of the Trading Accounts is just wrong unless it is fully explained and benign.

The rest of that top 25 should be outed and vilified for what they have done to the value of investors cash. It is beyond worthy of the sack. It is worthy of the label 'malpractice'. A thorough investigation of purchasing at the current low price would seem appropriate.

Were I a miner of steem, I would advocate an immediate redressing of the balance. The treatment and results endured by these people should warrant an enormous debt of gratitude. $6.5 million!
