I am a new Dolphin here, Good post and good comment, you both have my vote.
The 80% of the members only have 0.17% voting power here, the whales are developers, they don't have enough time to read every post and vote the good ones. It's the early stage for steem, as time goes by, more people will undestand cryptocurrency and have faith for it and will buy.
Be patient, it's just a matter of time.
