Thoughts expressed here are my opinion and nothing but my opinion. I hope that no one feels attacked by the things I'm saying in the slightest. Honestly, I don't think anyone should, but private dms always show me one can never put enough caveats and enough couches when approaching touchy subjects.
This short vlog is an open invitation to dialogue, so please, specially if you disagree, let me know your thoughts on this matter.
Much love

It’s the only mobile app that has a shot at mass adoption. Activity points are what should have happened in the beginning.

The way to have an intelligent conversation is to talk to an intelligent person.
But your friend wasn't asking you to be intelligent, your friend was asking you to be influential. And that could be related to Steempower.
But for the most influence, neither Steempower nor intelligence are sufficient. Both can be misguided.
The most important qualities would probably be engagement and compassion. And it doesn't take long to realize who has those qualities. So maybe your friend was right, but for the wrong reasons. :)

Size never matters, no matter what you're talking about ahahaha. No in all seriousness VP has NOTHING to do with being smart and more importantly being right =). It would be very sad if one is not taken seriously because they don't have mUCH VP, because that would mean that I'm not being taken seriously.... =)

100% - It's obvious that if got a brand new account, we might be at a disadvantage, but we certainly are not blocked off from opportunity... at least not completely.

Well...
I personally think and believe that anyone can come up with great ideas and you should listen to everyone, no matter the size of their wallets. Just look at the asapers project for instance, that should be enough evidence to prove my beliefs.
However, I also feel that people generally speaking ignores the little guys. The whales especially, but also other Steemians with pretty large wallets are the ones people usually listens too.
Reputation mattered a lot in the past, but nowadays it's the wallets. It's the amount of Steem Power that does the trick.
It's not even that hard to understand because SP equals money and it usually equals highly rewarded articles too. Well-rewarded articles equals recognition, and recognition equals more money in the long haul.
So yeah, I'd say that the wallet size matters, but it shouldn't matter at all.

Maybe that's the main point to draw out of this... at least for me.. if it matter to some peeps, then, they should reconsider as to WHY it matters so much.

I bet that there are a bunch of whales and dolphins out there who believe they are better than other, smaller people. And honestly speaking, the system is created that way in many aspects too.
They can nuke someones account and take away the rewards. They can hurt the reputation etc. These things would or could eventually make people believe that they are worth less than others. I say worth less and not worthless, because truth to be told; I've felt it too.
I'm not an expert in this whole cryptocurrency-thing and I'm definitely not an expert in terms of blockchains...And if you take a look at many of the authors who's articles are well-rewarded, (either by genuine support or paid-votes), many of them ignores their audience completely, while others reply to the users who have high reputation or large accounts.
Many of them ignores the smaller fish... And that reflects the overall experience on Steemit. Which ultimately makes the smaller fish feel worth less than others.

No. Wallet size doesn't matter for intelligent conversation. However, being a person with a lot of reach will make it more likely to be heard. This is a pretty obvious statement.
If I were someone with no wallet, and did not have the platform that posting on my own blog would have any reach, what I would do instead is find someone that does have that property, and strike up a conversation. If you have something of interest, people will respond. Simple as that.

Would like to add that someone with a fat wallet does not necessarily have a lot of reach either. Very important distinction.

So there you go Eon, its more about being someone who can have outward reach... if you is be edumecated propersly and can do maff for example... then you be gud..
On a serious note, that's it, you nailed it... if you are a tiny island and never get out there, you will remain a tiny island.. if you got 400 SP but are more visible than a stain of ketchup on your white t-shirt then you are good to go.

The entire Hearst empire was started by someone with very little money at one time...so....yeah. How much VP someone currently has might probably not be a good way the determine the worth of a person's ideas.

lamentablemente la sociedad siempre actúa así, y steemit es como un pequeño reflejo de la sociedad... Una persona con mucho dinero siempre será tomada más en cuenta que una persona pobre, sin importar el contenido de sus palabras... Nos toca a nosotros ser críticos y saber darle el verdadero valor a las cosas...

I think people who has money vested into the steem block chain have skin in the game. However, It doesn't matter how big your rep or wallet is, anyone here can provide value. A whale could make a claim that 2+2=5 and a plankton could object and say it was actually 4. It only holds value in terms of voting weight and perceived reputation.

Never crossed my mind. Someone with a high SP could be as thick as a plank. It actually shouldn't even be considered in my opinion.

It is sad but I can believe it. Maybe there is too much sucking up going on. If someone says something and it is wrong you shouldn't be flagged for disagreeing or ignored because you have low SP. Someone may have a brilliant idea that no one has thought of yet and surely anyone with a brain will listen. I know certain people on here have huge influence because of their SP but it doesn't mean they are right all the time. Everyone has a voice and they should be heard only if it is adding value.
