... the same people who bitch about whales here are salivating at the chance to be whales on steem knock-offs...

The biggest irony of all. People complain about the whales and how much they despise them yet they want to be like them. They want to be the early adopters who have big stakes and control what takes place.

Makes you go "hmmm".

I guess they do not realize the opportunity to be whales exists on the STEEM blockchain. Early adopters of @steemhunt, @actifit, and @dlike are positioning themselves well and without going anywhere.
