Iam sorry to hear this. But from what I have heard even though there is abuse by whales there are many other powerful people here who will make sure Steemit does moves forward. I am still learning about Steemit but it seems to me as with most things in life you see Abuse and people taking advantage of the situation. Pretty much been that way since the dawn of man. But people have overcome, and I am sure once again they will overcome here in this case :) As some have aptly put...been there,done that, seen that ;)
