The biggest problem is that the top 9 accounts control 60% of the Steem value; @steemit, @poloniex, @blocktrades, @freedom, @ned, @dan, @jamesc, @ben, @val-a

In the early days there was steem mining and a lot of people made a lot. But when @ned clearly abuses his power to downvote Dan and upvote himself it just create negative vibes around here. I do agree with you about how nothing was stolen and you have to work for what you earn here but things could be a little better. The big players sensor things and influence things however they want.
