I expect there's some truth in that. A few lucky small investors will do well, but it's mainly the seriously big ones who manipulate the market so they can profit. At least on Steem anyone can earn some crypto, even if it's just cents. In some places that makes a difference. I want everyone to have that opportunity. I'm lucky to have a good job that pays the bills, but I know life is tough for others and it's not just about working harder if the opportunities are not there.
