I was just looking at Steemwhales.com and I noticed the largest whales are of course @steemit this account is huge, then after this guy or I really don't know if it is a guy maybe @steemit is in reality just what steemit.com has in steem, well anyway after @steemit comes @bittrex and @poloniex, logically, they are exchanges and hold a lot of Steem.
After these come @freedom and @misterdelegation who if they are individulas hold a huge amount of Steem, even though with a name like @misterdelegation I wonder if all of this steem belongs to the account holder. After these guys come others among them @dan and @ned, both founders so they should be among the top holders.
So, realistically would these guys want steem's price to plunge? I don't think so, @freedom loses $600,000 for every 10 cents steem loses, which is a lot of money, in fact with 600 grand I would be out of economic problems permanently. So all of a sudden I am having second thoughts about steem whales being the ones behind the stagnation of steem's price, maybe therer are other factors that I haven't considered.
@davebrewer made a comment on one of my posts saying I might be a little paranoid, and after looking at Steem Whales I think he might have a point, even though at the time we were talking about Bitcoin. But I guess everyone is a little paranoid at least, and rich people are manipulating a lot of things, they are the experts in evading taxes, which I guess to Steemit members is a good thing as most here agree governments are parasites leeching off of working people's money, I also believe that, but I also believe rich people have the same tendency to leech off of others work as much as governments do. So in my opinion we have some powerful people and I don't mean the Steem Whales I mean investors who are the ones moving prices in the crypto world
It could be that I and most of everyone is a little jealous of rich people, I mean they don't have to worry on a day to day basis about where their food and other necessities are coming from.
So you see I really think things over, but maybe my thinking is not as good as it should be, but that is the way I am I have always liked to be something like the devil's advocate and right now I am confused as I have no idea who I should think is the devil, but I do know something funny is going on in the crypto world.
