I'm very grateful to whales, especially since Steemfest and everything some of the whales made possible for us.

And I'm having so much fun with the SBD lately :)

We can make Steemit what we want it to be. But we all have to figure out what decentralisation and no censorship truly means.

Because everyone here is trying to make Steemit into their own perfect version. To some that means quick cash and begging for upvotes.

To others that means flagging everyone who thinks differently.

And to others again, it means supporting little fish and making them grow, so we can all benefit mutually.

And we can't even judge the quick-cash people because we have no way of knowing what they need it for so desperately. Maybe they have a sick child at home. Maybe they don't know how to pay the rent for next month.

If we all focus on having fun, and creating fun or meaningful experiences for each other, that would be the best compass for any interaction.

And yes, we also need to be compassionate towards whales! If we resent them, why would we ever want to become one of them? They wouldn't be whales if they weren't committed to this platform, even if they were "lucky" or "at the right place at the right time". After all they could have all taken their Steempower out and sold it, and shrunk themselves into minnows again. But they didn't.

Whales are good fish! :)

And I hope you're right with our predictions, so we can all become whales soon and lead by example.
