With all due respect, it's not impossible. You can build a steemit clone in Ethereum, if you want, by starting your own blockchain. In code, steemit is just a bunch of smart contracts. But the truth is that Steemit, as a living product, it's much more than just the code, as some people are implying. There's a lot more to it, from people to influence, from strategy to vision. And that's valuable.

I've witnessed a few big online projects, both as a builder and as a consumer. I know what it takes to get off the ground a community with 30k users. It's a lot of hard work. At its peak, one of my website had 110k active registered users, and that was 8 year ago. I worked my ass for it.

So I'm pretty much on the side of the builders on this one. The fact that there are a lot of money in the hand of a few people, well, that's just they way it is. You have 2 alternatives: write until your fingers worn out or buy your share in.

It's just how life it is. Nobody said life it's fair.
