Thanks dude. Unfortunately if we leave then there will be even more for them to grab. Certain top dogs here don't want you to get too far ahead. It's like life where the middle class is getting wiped out leaving the mega rich and poor masses. That's why I have chosen minnowbooster's passive income method. It means I can leave steemit indefinitely and come back to a fatter wallet without having to do any posting and risk being bullied etc. When I started here I posted tons of which has turned out to be good thing. My initial target was to own about 100 steem so hitting over 500 is definitely a bonus. Facebook is losing lots of members to platforms like steemit which has got the thinking. Steemit needs some competition. I don't have a problem with the whales here as long as they don't abuse genuine bloggers. I'm not sure if cheetah and steemcleaners are whales. Looks like we are heading into the mother of all bonds and stock market crashes we will ever experience in our lifetime. If someone doesn't buy up bonds in the next few trading days then the stuff is going to hit the fan. That's my biggest worry at the moment. Steemit is only a bit of fun for me. I like the analysis part so as to work out the easiest way to get ahead here without any headaches.
