When Steem goes 100x every minnow (500 sp to 5000 sp) will be making $10,000 to $100,000 a year just by self upvoting. Let's see how much they complain then.
The new people who get here and put in none of the work are always going to look up and complain... just the way it is.
The real issue here is that people want to get paid by Steem but no one wants to invest in it. ALL of you red fish out there should be saving whatever you can and powering up your account while the getting is good.
Realize the value of the new paradigm... stop going out to bars... stop buying brand name items that get made in sweat shops. 95% of Americans are terrible with money. BUY BUY BUY!!!! STOP! Reject the old competitive system and embrace cooperative capitalism. You have no legs to stand on until you do.
I like that you said when rather than if. 😎
It’s easy for people to lose track of the idea that we are still in the very early stages of the crypto revolution. Every single person who’s a Steemian today is an early adopter.
I bet 100 SP puts one in the top 10% of all Steemians.
That is literally the definition of early adopter.
You win that bet. steemdb.com’s richlist tracks 965,000-some accounts. The 96,500th largest account owns (as opposed to is delegated) 12 SP. Not a typo, 12.
Wow...that is mind blowing....
12 SP means one is the top 10%.
Out of curiosity, what is 5% and 1%?
40 Steem to be in the top 5%, 502 SP to be in the top 1%.
Seems a bit amazing but it shows just how important it is to be an active account.
I never worked the numbers so I will take your word on it.
It is true that many who have invested the time and effort get reamed by those who just want everything handed to them. It is not easy but it was not easy for any of us.
