Let's face it. Content creation alone doesn't give value to the Steem currency. It's new money coming in from investors and trading activity that makes a real world difference.

That is 1000% sure BUT

Facts are facts. There are almost 1.000.000 users on this platform. I don’t know what the goal was when it was first designed but that number is pretty low. Steemit has potential. Because of the technology it is based on.

From this 1 mill users I believe 1-2% are the real whales. All the rest are trying hard to rise. And when i say rise i mean financially. I won’t pretend to be a saint. I want to grow and anyone whi says the opposite is probably lying.

There are curated programs and people who do their best by upvoting undervalued post.
What if every whale or even ‘dolphin’ was contributing a little bit more on that field?
The result would be super happy minnows who don’t quit but instead...spreading the word everywhere.
And that would bring in more and more people which would grow the platform tremendously as a result to a rise of steem too
