I bought in at 40c,<br> and i sold most of what i bought at around 4.40. I keps 5K or so though that i eventually ended up powering up.\n\nSince i could have had 20K or so for that 5k when i decided to keep,<br> it i consider that to be what my current investment is (though its currently worth around 12k)\n\nmy vote counts for $.08\n\nSo someone who invested a quarter million... their vote would count for what? A buck? two? that guy isnt a whale.\n\nthese guys are whales... and no,<br> most of them did not get that way by investing money... they have sweat equity. lots of it,<br> apparently.\n\nhttps:\/\/steemit.com\/@berniesanders\/transfers\nhttps:\/\/steemit.com\/@ned\/transfers\n\n\nSo the problem isn't that limiting whales would take influence _away_ from the 250,<br>000 investor,<br> its that it would give it to him. Make it so that putting enough money for a starter house into steemit gets you more than a fraction of a percent of the voting power of the whales.... \n\nMaybe it might give people a reason to actually buy steem and power up.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"steemit\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/@berniesanders\/transfers\" " |
