Prove me wrong then , why do people buy steem other than to speculate?
To get more sway and profit in content curation, genius.
No one cares about voting power, all they care about is increasing their steem stash which is speculation.
Albert11 - I think you are wasting your time using reason and logic with these guys to be honest. Fair play to you for sticking at it though.
Steemit has a lot of 'early adopters' who's posts consist mostly of talking about how great Steemit is, how much they have made and how people should get into it by buying Steem/Steem Power, thereby boosting the 'value' of what the early adopters have already invested - be that Bitcoin or time, which kind of seems a bit like a Pyramid shaped return on investment model to me ;-)
I am not an early adopter actually. I just started using Steemit 6 days ago:
https://steemit.com/@coinhoarderI don't care if people buy Steem or not. In fact, I suggest that you don't.... I sure didn't buy any STEEM.
I made posts and upvoted posts to earn what I have in my account, and I suggest you guys do the same too. It is easy money... I made about $115 so far.
Anyways, Albert is clueless and spreading FUD. I get angry when people spread FUD and refute their points. His point has been refuted about 100 times already ITT.
If he would be reasonable about what he criticizes Steem about, then I would acknowledge his points. There are at least a few very valid criticisms of Steem, but he is not arguing for any of them.
