To be honest I don't how how whales got rich on steemit and it's actually nothing I'm spending my time with :-) The people who are holding larger stakes of Steem have earned that money for a reason. So I'm not someone who finds pleasure in overanalyzing stuff, I rather spend my time with my own doings aiming to get better by myself...:-)

If you write a blog post about it, drop me the link please! :-)
