How rich you are or how early you get involved has nothing to do with your ability to create and succeed on the platform. I feel that all of this is leading to a much more collaborative and less competitive view of personal creativity and interaction.

Amen to that. We're currently trying to make our @steemmakers community succeed on the steem blockchain. We're putting so much energy in it because we believe in it and we want to stimulate creativity in many different aspects. But without backing from big accounts everything seems to stay under the radar. It's strange, some people want to be creative but at the same time want to do it in such a way they make the most money out of it.
