Steemit is not democratic!

Why? Because 25 accounts have more Steem Power than all others combined.

If you invest and power up you will most likely still have small or almost no impact at all at the moment

Steemit is in the beginning, it's still a baby, don't give up like me bro

This can be fixed only by changing voting algorithm

May be with time people make some money and up-votes become valuable no body know

It is democratic but you need also the big numbers from the users, write good posts and I'm sure you earn what you deserve!

Even if 100000 users come tomorrow they will have no impact at all

That's right, but may be some users will invest money

I don't understand your argument, if that's what you're trying to do...
Why should it be "democratic", why would that be inherently better?

I would love if someone could post a graph of the top holders percentage of total vesting shares over time, because I would bet it's rapidly declining. In the long run large Steem Power holders will be being diluted at about 5% per year, and if there wasn't, nobody would be joining the system.

This is covered in the whitepaper. It is democratic, in a sense, but it's not one vote per person. By design, your number of votes is based on your steempower holdings - your relative stake in the system.
