I have to disagree with you here. If a person discovers something early and invests in it, and then it goes big. They deserve to reap the rewards. Using force to prevent this would just be another form of socialism.

Lot's of new technologies/companies don't make it. Investing in them at that early stage is risky.

That's implying socialism is always bad.

It's not. It is simply untrue to say that socialism is inherently bad in every situation.

Also, the idea that they "deserve to reap the rewards" doesn't make sense on a platform like Steemit.

This isn't just a currency. If it was, then I'd agree.

But this is meant to be a community, and when the people with voting power are literally ALL early adopters, and other people, no matter how dedicated to the community, have about $10 worth of votes between them, the disparity is absurd.

Sort:  

Soo..no one should ever invest in anything early because if they do, the unfairness police will come and steal it from them.

Should the price of Steem ever reach 10$ Your account would be worth about 16000$ and your votes might be about 5 cents or so. No doubt you'd be happy to hand that over to someone who just joined that day, to keep things fair.

thats not socialism tho
