RE: 24 Hours Later: Thoughts on Steem So Far - Charlie Shrem
Welcome to Steemit Charlie! Your initial thoughts are similar to mine. At first I was mostly confused... but within a few days I really started to see the genius of it. If you want to hear a debate/conversation with one of Steemit's biggest critics, Tone Vays and I, I'll be posting it to Steem tomorrow.
Hey man! I had the same issue, he tweeted me and called me out for trying out Steem. The funny part is I know Tone personally and he's a nice guy, I don't know what happened in the past year. I'd love to talk to you about Anarchapulco and some other stuff, my email is [email protected] or I can use the email form on your site.
We had a debate on it. Went really well, IMO.
Basically two main takeaways I got from him:

Tone Vays merely put his money where his mouth is and is now milking that cow. There comes a point on public forums when you can't react what you say otherwise you feel you've mentally lost the arguement and will feel inferior. Some weird male, penis measuring competition no doubt.
Yeah, you can hear it in his voice. He is so anti-Steemit that he feels he can't post anything here because it somehow taints him. Like some sort of hypocritical conflict of interest created in his own mind. He could still make thousands if he came here and contributed, but he said he won't. He said he would be the last person to come here once it was proven he was wrong.
That is a sign of someone that is frankly being an idiot in this regard. It takes no effort to setup an account and test the waters. Considering his pedigree he would create a lot of interest and if he had something useful to say he certainly would be rewarded for it. He is all in on "proving" and hoping Steemit is a failure. That's not an honest position to be in.
I for one, looking forward to it! 👍
