Oh my friend...soon u will see what some of us are doing. Remember steem is in beta. Many of us who have "lots of money" in steem have it because we spent lots of money and sacrificed a GREAT DEAL to get us where we are. This, like u stated above, is not the case for all of them...but I assure you soon enough one of the projecrs ill debut is going to blow your mind. ;)

Follow officialfuzzy...the stubborn idealist and watch for announcements. Much love...and dont forget...steem is the ONLY platform that pays you anything, but it is the censorship resistance that is the TRUE value of the platform.

Even with that said...what we are about to unleash in the coming weeks is going to go viral on steem and enable things few if any have imagined before me and my small crew. Patience is all i ask. Ive given much already and will only continue to do so as MY BLESSINGs enable me to have resources.

Just a hint though...on ONE use case that will be possible with our new innovation:
Teachers will be able to get upvotes from whales for students in 3rd world countries when they post and grade homework on steem network.
One of the BIGGEST problems for children in 3rd world countries is that they cannot go to school--not because of unavailablity, but because they often must work during school to help supplement their parents' incomes...
A child cannot learn on an empty stomach so when u must choose between one or the other...the belly comes first. Children should not have to choose. If they study and do well, they should have the basics they need. It also teaches them work ethic...and it is not easily possible on steem (yet).

Just wait. ;)
