I think, most in crypto tends to be get rich quick scheme and most people you see/talk usually follow the hype. There are very few people who takes technology seriously and understands it. I think, time will force them to take Steem seriously and check technology behind it. What also could be said that, in interview they seem to worry about majority power held by Steemit, that's correct but those funds are being used for development and to pay for new registered users. Imagine, there is few million users registering next few month and everyone of them gets initial Steem (40, 50, 10, depends on parameters) which in itself is a lot of stake.
