Well I'm not a fan of rampant capitalism. No system is perfect. Steemit has a form of democracy with the witnesses, but the whales have the most influence. I use my small stake to push things where I think they should go. I see so much potential to do good, but some will just take.
Nature already solved this for us. Building up relationships and big networks is more powerful than the influence of a few successful. That will say it's fine with them being big and powerful. The middle class needs to focus on growing their group. The Minnows needs to focus on building their group. 100 Minnows that support eachother daily is more powerful than 1 whale. If they are in a constant selfless mode they will not have time to focus on other things going on. 1 person is still just 1 person. Humans are way more powerful than any other thing on the planet.
But the Tokens are not real power. It's that it's being used to stream value in the network. That will say 1 transaction it doesn't matter if it's 0.01 or 50. 1000 minnows have the power to stream more value by doing more transactions which actually is generating more value than 1 whale can ever do.
In a good way or a bad way?
Bad... Hahaha

The balance of power on Steemit is slowly shifting, but a whale with 100k SP can do more than 1000 minnows with 15.
Humans consider themselves all powerful, but we still struggle to deal with what nature can throw at us and we're our own worst enemy.
