Congratulations on the milestone. I know how difficult it is to grow your account without actually purchasing any coins. I broke down and bought some too. That made all the difference in the world because the system is designed to reward those who already hold lots of SP / HP. I honestly believe the chains would do better if they had a more fair distribution system, but as long as the majority of voting power is controlled by those with the most stake, that will never change. It is what it is and we either live with it or live without it.
