We all have 24 hours in a day but unfortunately not everyone people´s time is worth the same. Of course you can work to make your time more valuable, but other factors like the country were you have born cannot be controlled.

Steemit is different however. As long as you write in English, it does not matter where do you live. On the other hand, Steemit rewards are much more worthy for people living in countries with low GDP per capita like Congo, Bangladesh or Venezuela than countries with high GPD per capita like Switzerland or USA. Living in a low GDP country it is usually much harder so I do not think that is unfair.
