40% of bitcoins in circulation are owned by 1,000 people, who all have the influence to “game” the system by manipulating the marketplace for their own personal gain. Facebook uses ALL of your content for their own personal gain. So, what’s your point?

Every single user on here has the right to game the system as much as they can to their abilities.

Or...

They have the right to produce quality content, gain a following, and change the world.

Steemit isn’t a zero sum game. This software has discovered a way to unlock the value of an honest social media platform and disperse that value to the people.

There are whales in every successful crypto that will become richer beyond their wildest dreams. But they only become that filthy rich when the system proves valuable to the masses.

My advice to everyone is to produce thoughtful, honest content, so that when steemit goes mainstream, you’ve got the following and the reputation to make REAL dough. And you don’t look like a person who was picking up pennies off the sidewalk back in the day when it was all-too-easy to do so.

Anyone who thinks it’s a problem that whales can game the system while ordinary steemit users ‘don’t make enough money’ is failing to comprehend the obvious truth that the entire world is currently using Facebook for free, while the Facebook whales (i.e. Zuckerburg & co.) make billions and have inifinite power and influence over the content.

How is steemit not a massive improvement over that?
