I am trying to redistribute wealth to quality with my 1UP project. But other than that I think we overestimate what is possible in one year and underestimate what is possible in several years.

Just because the current distribution of Steem is bizarre that doesn't mean that the system is broken. I would say the system in ingenious but Steemit (other than Steem) sucks. Much of the value I see here is coming from the blockchain. This is a money printing machine and we can improve it anyway we want when the SMT train gets started. We just opt-out into our own economies and make sure the distrubution is better then with Steem.

And over time Steem is distributing from top to bottom anyway as we can already see with the available data.
