I don't know if it is or not. I just took a chance ...like I took a chance on this site investing my money. I am just the average Steemer and the average Facebooker. I was simply just passing along my findings and what I thought was a good opportunity. I did the same thing when I stumbled across the site while researching crypto currency to invest into. Which, i still have alot to learn. I have seen many post the same about Steem and crypto currency. Do you think Steemit is a Ponzi scheme? I don't know but I believe it will be something good.
