This may be a naive point of view, but sometimes I wonder whether there is a good understanding of how the platform works... I mean, I have a PhD and I'm still grasping the concepts 5 months after starting. I see plankton wallets with 600steem sitting there wo seeing what their strategy is. I assume that they don't have one, nor really understand how the platform works.
I assume again that I'm one of few who have put their own hard earned in because I believe in the future of the platform. Even then I'm not as engaged as I would like to be.... We all leady busy lives.
But with thought leaders such as yourself and @abh12345 throwing data and ideas like these around, I'm sure it will come good in the end.
There's your problem. Have you read 'Lord of flies'? it will help. ;)
It is going to take enough community thinkers at each tier to pull it all together but, we aren't lost yet, just need some fine tuning with a sledgehammer.
