Those who counted were making boatloads of steem....shhhh don't say anything!

Guys like me who invested cash paid for it!

Yes but it sounds kind of scammy, with the pre-mined steem and the promises made to those who bought steem, this would be decentralized rather than just one account that has the power to rule over everyone. If I were investing fiat currency, hell even my own creative work, I would have liked to have known about the pre-mined accounts and the glitch that let those in the know pre-mine as well. Those who invested their time and or money or both (I know many) were taken advantage of, I found out about the huge account back in 2018, I joined in 2016.
