I'm there too. I want to point out that for the last 2.5 years I have posted daily on steem. I have been a social media specialist for over a decade and have been in the twitter beta, several google betas and spend time up at facebook so I get it. I want to point out that if whales would have taken 1 of their 10 votes and spent it on minnows that tried, or even divided 1 vote into 10 or 100, steem would have blossomed. If a creator could earn even $1 on a post that would be more than 99% of the platforms on the web. That is all it would have taken to drive traffic, growth and then investment in steem. I hope that happens with hive.
