Thanks @greenbeans I for one find your comment insightful and open minded, you are a wise one ;)

I agree I think @berniesanders is using ever more interesting tactics to downplay all the other whales.

I feel in the long run that punishing and shaming whales for investing and collecting their interest from steem is bad for the network. There is no circumstance in which using your shares is actually wrong.

Yet there's this continual juggling act of people shaming others for making a profit from investing, which is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing, we should be praising those investors for investing, making steem worth more in the first place, and sticking around long enough to get some rewards from it.

However big you may think their payouts are, their investment is more than a thousand times more. And no matter how much you shout 'rape', its actually benefiting us all to have investors.

This is just my opinion, if I'm wrong anyone can feel free to announce their different points of view, I believe we should all focus on our own growth and rewards, instead of shaming people for making a profit.

That being said, I agree with what other whales are doing, and I also believe that what bernie is doing is fair, albeit a little subversive, I feel that there must be good reason to run that investment in that way. I also feel that other whales aren't as bad as they're made out to be, but the making out to be bad is also fine, this network has opened up a million more ways to compete, I see them all as fair.

Much love @walden, @greenbeans, and wow even @berniesanders popped in, nice to see steem is active as ever.

We can all stand to remember that good publicity as well as bad publicity is good.
