Buying 50k STEEM @ $2 STEEM for an individual is most likely way too much, for me it would be impossible to do with Fiat.

Buying 50k STEEM for $100k for a business that needs an established blockchain is peanuts. And if that's too much they can always rent the SP they need.

I know what it's like to see a trending page as a minnow. I started here as one. You can scream at the unfairness and call steem shit or you can ignore it and start building a home here. That's what I choose to do.

Steem is different now, you can do so much more now with Steem then trying to make it blogging. Open a store and sell products for STEEM, develop an app or game, start a new community with a new token. The people that see the opportunity will seize it.

People that base their opinions about what's trending are missing the point of the what Steem can do for them.
